TE Connectivity Heat Shrink Tubing
Heat shrink tubing provides electrical insulation, mechanical protection, environmental sealing, and strain relief. The Raychem brand of tubings are made of polyolefins, fluoropolymers, and elastomers enhanced by radiation crosslinking and heat-shrinkability. When heated during installation, it shrinks to conform to virtually any size or shape, enabling quick and easy installation. Available in single wall tubing and dual wall tubing, our heat shrinkable tubing is engineered for use in numerous applications, including back-end connector sealing, breakouts, and connector-to-cable transitions. It is a solid alternative to taping, molding, or potting.
Its high expansion ratio makes it possible to repair most damaged cable jackets without removing connectors. Available in a wide range of materials, colors, and sizes, heat shrink tubing is delivered in forms such as spools, 1.2m lengths, and cut pieces. Clear types permit inspection of covered components and offer excellent transmittance of light.
You can choose from tubings that are highly flexible or semirigid, designed for operation in high- or low-temperature environments, halogen-free and flame-retardant to meet a range of industry standards. Available in many sizes, constructions, lengths, and colors to meet commercial, military or medical specifications, our tubings can also be customized for special applications.
