Introduction
After a conductor has been cut it is then prepared for the next
step or for crimping. For this purpose, a specific length of the
conductor insulation has to be removed, while preventing dam-
age to the conductor. The length of the conductor insulation to
be removed depends on the terminal clamping point or the
crimp to be processed.
Professional stripping tools guarantee perfect results due to
precise adjustment of the tool to the corresponding insulation
and the conductor cross-section.
Precision tools by Weidmüller guarantee that the user will
always obtain consistent, reliable stripping results.
“Stripping” means the cutting and removal of the insulation.
The following must be ensured in performing this task.
The stripping dimension must be observed and neither the
conductor nor the remaining insulation must be damaged.
To avoid mistakes, use a stripping tool matched to the
insulation and cross-section of the conductor.
Do not use work knives or penknives because the stripping
quality when using such tools depends entirely on the manual
dexterity of the user. The quality is not consistent, even when
the user is highly skilled.
Preference should be given to hand-operated tools that adjust
automatically to the corresponding cross-section of the
conductor. They do not damage to the conductor during
stripping and avoid faults.
stripax® stripping tools guarantee a consistent stripping result
which complies with DIN regulations. The tools are rated
for standard dimension PVC insulation. Any PVC insulation
thicknesses deviating from normal can be set manually. The
conductor stopper and integrated wire cutter allow highly
versatile use of the tools.
Special insulation types such as Teflon, Silicone and Kapton
require special stripping tools. These tools strip the conductor
with punch blades.

Introduction
DIN IEC 60352 part 2 contains references to stripping
faults which must be avoided:
Possible faults during stripping:
Stripping
C
Insulation has not been cut
properly
Remains of the conductor
insulation are still to be found
on the stripped conductor
Correctly stripped conductor
The conductor insulation has
been damaged by the stripping
tool
Single conductors have been
damaged or cut off by the
stripping tool
Single conductors have been
twisted too tightly afterwards
Single conductors are no
longer twisted.
