Wire Stripping
makerWire stripping is the process of removing the insulation from electrical wires to connect them to various components.
expanded
Wire stripping is essential in the preparation of electrical wiring, involving the careful removal of insulating material from the wire to ensure clean conductive surfaces. This process is critical for establishing reliable electrical connections in both residential and industrial environments and requires precision to avoid damaging the conductive core.
examples
Removing 1.5 mm (0.06 inches) of insulation from a 16-gauge copper wire for terminal block connections.
This is commonly done in assembly lines of consumer electronics, where precise insulation removal is necessary for proper connections.
Stripping 2 mm (0.08 inches) of insulation from coaxial cables for satellite dish installation.
Used by telecommunications technicians to prepare coaxial cables for connector attachment.
