WRAPPING BITS AND SLEEVES<strong>Wrap</strong>ping bits and sleevesSelection of <strong>wrapping</strong> bits and sleevesApplication:<strong>Wire</strong> diameter, Dimensions of terminal, Grid system,Connection styleExample:Solid wire with conductor 0,25 mm (AWG 30) and insulation0,55 mm diameter to be wrapped on a terminal a x b= 0,75 x 0,50 mm, terminal length 13,50 mm on a spacingof 2,54 mm - a modified connection is required.Solution:In the table „Technical features of <strong>wrapping</strong> bitsand sleeves“ locate column (1): Conductor diameter,and column (2): wrap type.Example:Conductor diameter 0,25 mm (AWG 30) and „MOD“.Check maximum insulation diameter - column 5 -(applicable only to MODIFIED connections)<strong>The</strong> insulation diameter is 0,55 mm. <strong>The</strong> bit 507573 canaccept a maximum insulation diameter of 0,60 mm.Clearance between sleeve and adjacent wrapped terminaluse the formula:Effective Radius + <strong>Wire</strong> diameter + a / 2 Spacing.<strong>The</strong> bit 507573 with the sleeve 507100 has an effectiveradius of 1,55 mm. So: 1,55 + 0,55 + 0,375 < 2,54 mm.Determine that the Strip Length (column 7) gives therequired number of turns (column 8). This relationshipdepends on the wire diameter and the dimensions of theterminal.In our example: strip length: 25 mm is correct.Find:„Terminal Diagonal” (column 3) in the chart on page 21:Using side „a“ = 0,75 mm and side „b“ = 0,50 mm calculatethe theoretical diagonal = 0,90 mm.<strong>The</strong> actual diagonal is 0,90 - 0,04 = 0,86 mm (0,04 mm isthe terminal corner radius allowance). For bit 507573 theterminal diagonal is from 0,84 to 0,92 mm.MOD. = MODIFIEDA connection is called MODIFIED whenthere is a turn of insulationat the base of the wrap. This turn ofinsulation will reinforce the connectionagainst shocks and vibrations.spacinghalf ofterminal widthSTD. = STANDARDA connection is called STANDARD whenthere is no turn of insulation at the baseof the wrap. <strong>The</strong> use of STANDARD connectionsmakes the <strong>wrapping</strong> of thickerwires in a determined spacing possible(e.g. power supply lines).Conductor Ø (for STD.)Insulation Ø (for MOD.)= <strong>Wire</strong> ØEffective Radius (R) is the radius of the circle covered bythe bit + sleeve combination when the tool rotates. Asmany bits have an excentric terminal hole axis, the (R) isnot always half of the sleeve outside diameter.>R< + <strong>Wire</strong>-Diam.+ a / 2 Spacing20
