connectors
Cables of connected devices are normally cut in semi-strip or strip specification as shown in the next
figures.
When the cables are prepared this way, an e-CON connector cannot be attached. First cut the end
and remove the cable sheath as shown in the following diagram. (Do not strip the sheaths of the
core wires.)
Using OMRON connectors
Align the cable with the STRIP GAUGE described on the side of the connector. Remove 7 to 8 mm
of the wiring sheath, and twist the exposed wires several times.
