RS PRO Heat Shrink Tubing Clear 1.6 mm Sleeve Diameter x 1.2 m Length Flame Retardant PVDF 2:1 Ratio 398-464

RS PRO 398-464 Heat Shrink Tubing is a high-quality, semi-rigid, and heat resistant PVDF tubing designed for effective insulation and protection of electrical wires and cable joints. Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, it shrinks to half its original diameter when heated, fitting snugly over wire joints and providing a permanent protective seal. With a sleeve diameter of 1.6 mm and a length of 1.2 metres, this tubing ensures versatile application across various cable sizes.

This tubing boasts flame retardant properties, making it suitable for use in environments where safety and heat resistance are critical, withstanding temperatures of at least 170°C. Its clear colour allows for easy visual verification of the underlying components without the need to remove the tubing, facilitating maintenance and inspection processes.

Manufactured from fluoropolymer PVDF, this tubing exhibits excellent resistance to oils, chemicals, and abrasion, ensuring durability in harsh environments encountered in military, aerospace, automotive, and industrial machinery settings. Its abrasion and cut resistance provide additional mechanical protection, making it ideal for high-stress applications.

Typical uses include electrical insulation for thermistors, resistors, capacitors, and protection against environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and chemicals. It also serves to bundle and organize wiring harnesses and cables, providing strain relief that prevents damage caused by cable bending or flexing.

RS PRO 398-464 Heat Shrink Tubing complies with the SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/13 standard and originates from Japan, assuring quality and reliability. Its halogen-free rating is "No" indicating the presence of halogen compounds.
