Features

• Thermal Shrinkage Termination Kit • The RS PRO Portable Thermal Shrinkage Service Kit includes a wide range of high-quality thermal shrink tubes made from three sizes of soft, flame-retardant polyolefin thermal shrink crimp splices. The tubes in this versatile kit shrink at a 2:1 ratio, and you can choose from a variety of colors and diameters to suit your needs. The box itself is made of plastic and has compartments inside to fit the different sizes of the heat shrink tubing and has a built-in carry handle. This convenient heat shrink kit is ideal for maintenance and repair technicians who need small quantities of various types of tubes.
• What is a heat-shrink tube? A heat-shrink tube is a type of extruded plastic tube that can be cut to fit the size of a wire or cable joint to protect and insulate the connection. When heated, the tube shrinks to form a fixed protective seal. The amount of shrinkage dep***s on the heat ratio. When you buy a tube, it is stretched, and this stretched tube remembers its shape, and when it is heated, it returns to its original state. The larger the size variation, the greater the shrinkage to cover.
• Features and Advantages of Soft Polyolefin Thermal Shrinkage Tubes • Soft polyolefin is a material derived from polyethylene and is one of the most commonly ***d thermal insulation materials. High flexibility, fast contraction and excellent durability. When this polyolefin tube is heated, it shrinks in half radially from its original size beca*** the shrinkage ratio is 2:1. Soft polyolefin tubes have the following characteristics:
• Very flexible Shrinkage ratio of 2:1, reduced to half of original diameterFlame retardantOperating temperature range: 55 → +135 °C, maximum temperature 200 °C (short duration) Shrinkage temperature: 90 °C (minimum) Excellent electrical insulation propertiesGeneral liquid and solvent resistanceSAE-AMS-DTL- 23053/5 Class 1 compliant
• What is the polyolefin heat shrink tube ***d for?
• The polyolefin heat shrink tube is very versatile and is ***d in military, aerospace, automotive, industrial machinery, electronics, construction equipment and other applications. Thermal shrink tubing is ***d to protect and seal cable joints and inline components such as shut-off terminals and wire splices. It can also be ***d to repair insulation from existing worn or torn cables and wiring. Main application:
• Electrical insulation and protection of resistors and capacitors Protection of wires and small parts against moisture, dust, and chemicals Mechanical strain relief to the joints of cables and connectors prevents damage by b***ing and stretching Harness wires, cables, and tubes Tie and organize cables, wires, and components with identification colors
• Use of heat-shrink tubes
• Measure the diameter of the wire or cable and select a heat-shrink tube of the appropriate size. Cut the tube long enough to cover the heated connections or joints. Then slide it into the wire. After joining the cable or wire, cover the joint with a heat-shrink tube and heat with a heat gun until the tube shrinks and wraps tightly around the joint.
