Stripping the cable for a cable terminal
If the cable is to be stripped of the end insulation prior to terminal crimping in a cable terminal, check if a seal is required for that type of cable terminal.
- A description of which cable terminals require seals can be found in Seal SWS and plug .
If no seal is to be used on the cable terminal
- Proceed to Length of the stripped section of cable .
If a seal is to be used on the cable terminal
Thread the seal on to the cable before stripping the insulation. If the seal is threaded on to a cable that has been stripped both the copper conductors in the cable and the seal can be damaged.
- Push the seal about 5 cm down the cable with the narrow end of the seal pointing towards the cable end as shown.
Always use a seal of the correct size for the cable it is intended for.
