There is no need to strip the insulation on the individual wires as the IDC (Insulation Displacement Connectors) will cut into the cable just enough to make a moisture-resistant connection.

If using pliers, ensure to press evenly on connector surface to apply even pressure around full surface.When inserted, there are two internal connection bars to ensure a reliable connection to signal wires. Simply insert the matching pair of cables needed to be joined then press the connector closed using a flat surface or pliers. The connectors are filled with corrosion-resistant sealant at the factory to protect the connection against air and moisture. Double 'U' contact in the button clamps down on the wire, strips the insulation, and grips the conductors in a moisture resistant connection.
