Wires are usually made of metal, making it easier for them to carry electricity. You also usually see an insulating cover protecting people from electrocution. For electrical connections<\/a>, you need to make wire leads<\/strong>. However, the preparation requires expertise, and thus, you will need to practice. Let’s dig into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n Insulation is present on nearly all electrical conductors, including wire and cable. However, you need to remove the insulating layer from the wire while making electrical connections. You need further heat or dip the wires if additional processing is required. As a result, you will get a Wire Lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, wire leads can be wire ends stripped and terminated, insulation retained, or simply tinned. <\/p>\n\n\n Wire strip is a part of almost every electrical project that needs to be done. It means taking off the outer insulating layer while carefully not cutting the parts underneath. Wire stripping is not as hard as you might think, and thus, you can strip most cables with just a sharp knife. But if you need to get the job done quickly and accurately, it’s best to use the right wire stripping tools.<\/p>\n\n\n Find out how thick is the copper wire that you will strip. Take the NM cable (nonmetallic sheathed cable), for example; in the number 12\/2, the first is the wire gage. Also, pay attention to whether the copper wire has strands of conductor or a solid one.<\/p>\n\n\nTable of Contents<\/h2>\n
