Pin Configuration

  • Mini Wire Stripper Documentation
  • Overview
  • The Mini Wire Stripper is a compact and convenient tool designed for stripping insulation from electrical wires, exposing the inner conductors. This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to the pins and their connections, ensuring safe and proper usage of the device.
  • Pinout Description
  • The Mini Wire Stripper has a total of 4 pins, labeled as follows:
  • Pin 1: Wire In
  • Function: Input wire connection
  • Description: This pin is used to connect the electrical wire that needs to be stripped. The wire is inserted into the pin, and the stripper automatically removes the insulation, exposing the inner conductor.
  • Pin 2: Ground
  • Function: Ground connection
  • Description: This pin provides a grounding point for the device, ensuring safe operation and preventing electrical shocks.
  • Pin 3: Stripped Wire Out
  • Function: Stripped wire output
  • Description: This pin is where the stripped wire emerges after the insulation has been removed. The conductor is now exposed and ready for connection.
  • Pin 4: Adjustment
  • Function: Adjustable stripping length
  • Description: This pin allows users to adjust the length of the stripped wire. By rotating the adjustment pin, the stripping length can be customized to accommodate different wire gauges and applications.
  • Connection Structure
  • To connect the pins correctly, follow this step-by-step guide:
  • 1. Wire In (Pin 1):
  • Insert the wire to be stripped into Pin 1, ensuring it is securely seated.
  • The wire should be inserted up to the stopping point, marked on the device.
  • 2. Ground (Pin 2):
  • Connect a grounding wire or cable to Pin 2, ensuring a secure connection.
  • The grounding wire should be connected to a suitable grounding point, such as a metal chassis or a grounding bus.
  • 3. Stripped Wire Out (Pin 3):
  • After stripping the wire, the exposed conductor will emerge from Pin 3.
  • Connect the stripped wire to the desired device or component.
  • 4. Adjustment (Pin 4):
  • Rotate the adjustment pin clockwise to increase the stripping length or counterclockwise to decrease it.
  • Adjust the stripping length according to your specific requirements and wire gauge.
  • Important Safety Notes
  • Always handle the Mini Wire Stripper with care, avoiding touching electrical components or wires with your bare hands.
  • Ensure the device is properly grounded before use to prevent electrical shocks.
  • Follow proper safety guidelines when working with electrical wires and components.
