Instructions for Wire Shielded Cable

7.0Prepare Cable

7.1Check to be sure cable size fits within kit size range as shown in Table 1 (page 2).

7.2Prepare cable using dimensions shown in Figure 8 and 9. Refer to Table 3 for semi-con cutback dimension. Be

sure to allow for depth of terminal lug.

NOTE: Provide additional exposed conductor distance to account for growth during crimping of ALUMINUM lugs or connectors as follows:

Aluminum Connector	2 - 350	400 - 650
Growth Allowance	1/4” (6 mm)	1/2" (13 mm)

NOTE: It is imperative to remove all remnants of the semi-con layer, even if the semi-con layer comes off as one layer. There should not be any remaining black areas, or particles, on the cable insulation layer.
