This is possible with all of the clamping systems currently
on the market and results in time-consuming troubleshoot-
ing.
Insulation stop for connectors reliably ensure proper
termination.
Insulation stops automatically bundle the cores of fine-
stranded conductors when inserted into the clamping unit,
preventing splaying. This also limits the conductor entry
to a defined cross sectional area — ensuring the actual
conductor, not the insulation, will enter the clamping unit.
Insulation stops are available as dividable 5-pole strips for
MCS MIDI male and female connectors.
Insulation stop usage will not affect the conductor strip
lengths for the aforementioned connectors.
Insulation stops are not suitable for panel-mounted female
