If a seal is to be used on the cable terminal
Thread the seal on to the cable before stripping the insulation. If the seal is threaded on to a cable that has been stripped both the copper conductors in
the cable and the seal can be damaged.
-
Push the seal about 5 cm down the cable with the narrow end of the seal pointing towards the cable end. See illustration.
Always use a seal of the correct size for the cable it is intended for.
Length of the stripped section of cable
Volvo recommends the use of stripping pliers with an integral setting for the length of the stripped section and the cable area.
Note! Always used the correct length of stripped conductor to match the cable terminal to be used.
The cable must be stripped to a conductor length that matches the cable terminal type.
Compare the stripped conductor length with the cable terminals crimp contact connection. See illustration.
The stripped length of the cable should be slightly longer than the crimp contact.
-
A normal stripped length of conductor is approx. 4 to 5 mm.

Advantages of terminal crimping
Terminal crimping is a way of creating an electrical contact by pressing the wings of the cable terminal round a cable with such force that the metal in the
cable is deformed.
Using the correct tool it is a rapid and simple way to fasten cable terminals to cables.
A correctly crimped terminal provides a stronger and more reliable bonding than soldering the connection.
