Figure 49 – Trimming the braided shielding
7. Cut all the wires to a length of 16 mm (0.64 in.); see Figure 49.
8. Strip 8 mm (0.32 in.) of insulator from each wire (see Figure 50a), being careful not to damage any
strands, and ensuring that the white wire of the white-blue pair will still be marked after stripping it.
Tin each conductor with high-quality solder.
Fold each conductor back on itself to make a 4 mm (0.16 in.) lead that doubles the lead diameter
(approximately 24 AWG); see Figure 50b.
Figure 50 – Stripping and preparing the wires
Note - The shielding provides strain relief when it is pressed between the cone washer and
the insert.
Caution - A proper crimp connection cannot be made unless the lead is folded back.
