2 . Process preparation (cut, strip, prep)

A highly reliable electrical termination always requires flawless initial wire preparation. Even microscopic, unseen nicks in the delicate copper conductor strands or a slightly uneven insulation stripping job can quietly compromise the mechanical integrity and the electrical resistance of the final crimp.

This chapter details the precision mechanics of our cutting, stripping, and tinning operations. We will outline the calibration standards for our automated processing equipment to help ensure every single wire is prepared exactly to the connector manufacturer’s intended specifications, setting the stage for a perfect assembly.
