2.1 Check to be sure cable size fits within kit size range as shown in Table 1.
2.2 Prepare cable using dimensions shown in Figure 1. Refer to Table 2 for semi-con cutback dimension.
BE SURE TO ALLOW FOR DEPTH OF TERMINAL LUG. If necessary to prevent tape shield from
unrolling, hold down edge with a single wrap of 3M™ EMI Copper Foil Shielding Tape 1181.
NOTE: Provide additional exposed conductor distance to account for growth during crimping of ALUMINUM
lugs or connectors as follows:
