Wire Preparation; Crimping Procedure - Harwin Z80-255 Instruction Sheet

Instruction Sheet for Z80-255 Hand Crimp Tool

WIRE PREPARATION

1. Ensure that the wire to be crimped is within the specified range of sizes for the contact and
the crimp tool. Failure to use the specified wire size will result in poor quality crimps and
possible tool damage.
2. Cut the end of the cable to be terminated so that there is a clean cut end (Figure A). Strip the
cable to the correct length (Figure B). We recommend that when the wire is stripped, it is
clamped or supported close to the stripping area - this will prevent insulation slippage.
Suitable wire strippers (such as a PTFE wire stripper) must be used. This should result in all
the strands laying together neatly. If the lay of the strands is disturbed, it may be re-imposed
with a slight twist.
