Choose the strip length for the terminal
First, check the wire type and cross-section. Then set the length stop to the strip length required by the terminal or ferrule you plan to fit. The self-adjusting mechanism supports different wire sizes, while the stop helps you keep the prepared length consistent.
Keep the cutting limits separate from the stripping range. For example, the tool strips wire sizes up to 10 mm², but its cutter’s limit for solid wire is 1.5 mm². Use the correct row in the table for the task and wire construction.
For the next step in ferrule preparation, compare the CRIMPFOX 10S square-crimp pliers. Check the ferrule, wire and crimp profile together before selecting the tools.

WIREFOX 10/SB, 1212152, is the direct replacement blade. Phoenix Contact also lists these inserts for use in WIREFOX 10:
