The cable must be stripped to a conductor length that matches the cable terminal type.

Compare the stripped conductor length with the cable terminals crimp contact connection. See illustration.

The stripped length of the cable should be slightly longer than the crimp contact.

A normal stripped length of conductor is approx. 4 to 5 mm.
