Abstract
A wire stripping die is configured to be coupled to a crimping tool. The stripping die includes a die body, a first ridge, and a second ridge. The die body includes a first side, a second side, and a groove extending at least partially between the first side and the second side. The groove extends along an axis. The first ridge protrudes from a surface of the groove toward the axis by a first distance. The first ridge extends along at least a portion of the perimeter of the groove and extends at least partially around the axis. The second ridge protrudes from the surface of the groove toward the axis, and the second ridge extends parallel to the axis along at least a portion of the groove.

A wire stripping die configured to be coupled to a crimping tool, the wire stripping die comprising:
- a die body including a first side, a second side, and a groove extending at least partially between the first side and the second side, the groove extending along an axis;
- a first ridge protruding from a surface of the groove toward the axis by a first distance, the first ridge extending along at least a portion of a perimeter of the groove and extending at least partially around the axis;
- and
- a second ridge protruding from the surface of the groove toward the axis, the second ridge extending parallel to the axis along at least a portion of the groove;
- wherein the die body includes an outermost surface opposite the groove and extending between the first side and the second side, and wherein an elongated track with a tool receiving portion is formed as a recessed region within the outermost surface.
