RS PRO Heat Shrink Tubing Clear, 4.8 mm Sleeve Diameter x 1.2 m Length, 2:1 Ratio 398-436

RS PRO 398-436 heat shrink tubing is a high-quality, heat-resistant, semi-rigid tubing made from PVDF fluoropolymer, designed for electrical insulation and mechanical protection in demanding environments. It features a 4.8 mm sleeve diameter and shrinks to 2.4 mm after heating, with a 2:1 shrink ratio. The clear tubing permits visual inspection of cables and connectors, facilitating maintenance and ensuring proper fit.

This tubing is flame retardant and resistant to oils and chemicals, making it suitable for aerospace, military, automotive, industrial machinery, electronics, and construction applications exposed to heat and harsh conditions. It serves to protect cable joints, splices, and in-line components, providing insulation, strain relief, and environmental sealing against moisture, dust, and abrasion.

Key performance features include excellent dielectric strength, abrasion resistance, low friction surface, and stable mechanical strength even under flexing or bending stresses. The tubing’s high heat resistance and compliance with SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/13 standard ensure dependable safety and reliability in critical industrial uses.

Applications include electrical insulation of components such as thermistors, resistors, and capacitors, repair of worn insulation, bundling and organizing cable harnesses, and color-coded identification. The 1.2 meter length allows flexibility for different wiring needs while the clear color ensures easy monitoring of connections.

Material constructed from tough fluoropolymer for high thermal and chemical resistance. Flame retardant to meet demanding industrial safety standards. Shrink ratio of 2:1 enables precise fitting by halving the sleeve diameter upon heating.

Clear color allows visual inspection of underlying components during and after installation. Suitable for harsh environments with excellent abrasion resistance and dielectric strength. Length of 1.2 meters provides versatility for various cable and wire insulation applications.

Designed for high temperature resistance, shrinks at minimum 170°C. Ideal for electrical insulation, strain relief, and environmental protection of cable joints. Compliant with SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/13 standard ensuring aerospace-grade quality.
