FAQ Heat Shrink Tubing for Electrical Applications | Electronic Design

TE Connectivity’s Heat Shrink Tubing Offers a Superior Alternative to Tape, Glues and Glass

Whether designing for harsh outdoor environments or the home, design engineers across industries need ways to insulate components against heat and electric current, provide strain relief for connectors and splices, and protect and seal against water ingress, chemicals and abrasions. Heat shrink tubing can be the versatile choice to solve all these design challenges efficiently. It can also provide cosmetic improvement and organize and identify different wires and components quickly. Many design engineers and manufacturers may not realize that tubing can be used just as effectively—and often more effectively—as a protective cover, insulator, noise reducer and more in many applications and industries. coaxial cable connectors

TE’s heat shrink tubing can be used for a wide range of applications across many industries and environments because it is reliable, robust and easy to use. TE’s heat shrink tubing is a high-tech, low-cost solution that can be used in place of taping, molding, potting, gluing and glass. Tubing has a quicker application time and can help improve performance.

This FAQ answers some common questions about how heat shrink tubing is the best option for protection and sealing.
