Seating Tool for Preparing Molded-Plug Terminations on FCC 
A hand-operated tool can be used for positioning 
and seating the window piece and conductor spacer 
onto the conductors of two stripped cables during 
the process of terminating the cables with a molded

Note 1). It is necessary that the window piece be 
seated firmly against the cable insulation and that
the conductor spacer be seated flush against the 
window piece. This seating will ensure that the con-
ductors extend far enough beyond the conductor 
spacer to be folded into the spacer grooves and 
remain properly separated by the rubber insulator. 
The tool accommodates cables for terminations up 
to 3 in. wide.
