Wire Termination Technical Information
Wire Termination — Sta-Kon
®
Wire Termination & Insulation
1. Strip the insulation carefully to avoid nicking or cutting
conductor strands.
2. Strip the insulation to the proper length so the conductors
can be inserted fully into the connector barrel; the wire/cable
should be visible in the inspection hole of the lug; the proper
strip length can be found on page G-51.
3. Train the wires to eliminate fanning of strands.
4. Open handles fully.
5. Insert terminal in proper die nest and locate it as shown above.
When crimping a butt splice, position in proper die nest with
window facing indentor.
6. Close handles slightly to secure terminal.
Do not deform terminal.
7. Insert properly stripped wire into terminal.
8. Complete crimp by closing handles.
The proper installation procedure
for the quality-assured connection!
The proper installation of terminals, splices and connectors is very important to the efficient performance of an
electrical system. The properly installed connector will enable good conductivity through the termination. Certain
basic requirements must be met to make a good termination.
• Strip the insulation carefully to avoid nicking or cutting conductor strands
• Strip the insulation to the proper length so the conductors can be inserted fully into the connector barrel;
the wire/cable should be visible in the inspection hole of the lug; the proper strip length can be found
on page G-51.
A poor termination results in a high-resist ance connection.
A poor connector installation may cause damage or failure of an entire system.
