Step 3:
Measure the exposed
strands to be sure the
crimp length is correct.
Step 1:
1. Choose the correct
AWG for the contact be-
ing used.
2. Measure from the end
of the wire the recom-
mended strip length
according to the contact
size.
3. Place the wire into a
stripping tool at the rec-
ommended strip length.
Strip the wire according to
stripping tool instructions.
Step 2:
1. After stripping, a small
piece of the insulation
should come off.
2. Check for any broken
strands or for a dent in
the wire. If either exist,
the wire is damaged and
should be cut and stripped
again.

Wire Stripping
Leaving the stripped portion of
the insulation on the wire until
prior to crimping will avoid fl ayed
wire strands.

Tools for IMC and Quick Connect Series
The Industrial Micro Connect and Quick Connect Series use special contacts and tools. The contacts are smaller and designed
for high pin density. Removal tools along with multiple crimp tools are available and are designed to work with the smaller
contacts and tighter pin arrangements. The common contact system and tools are not compatible with the IMC or QC Series.
