Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the shrink ratio of this tubing?
The heat shrink tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio, meaning it will shrink to half of its supplied diameter when heated to 90°C.
What materials are suitable for use with this heat shrink tubing?
This tubing is suitable for insulating and protecting electrical wire splices, connectors, and cable bundles.
How do I choose the correct size tubing?
Select a tubing size where the supplied diameter is larger than the component you need to cover, so that after shrinking (to half its original size), it forms a tight seal.
What heat source is recommended?
A heat gun is recommended for even and controlled heating. A controlled flame from a lighter can be used for small applications, but requires caution to avoid scorching or melting.
How do I store the heat shrink tubing?
Store the assortment in its original partitioned box in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight to maintain its properties.
Are these tubes RoHS compliant?
Yes, the product description states that the heat shrink tubing is RoHS compliant.
What colors are included in the assortment?
The assortment includes Black, Blue, Red, White, and Yellow heat shrink tubing.
Troubleshooting
Tubing not shrinking evenly
Ensure heat is applied consistently and evenly around the entire circumference of the tubing. Increase heat source temperature slightly if needed, but avoid overheating.
Tubing shrinking too much or melting
Reduce the temperature of the heat source or keep it further away from the tubing. Ensure you are using the correct size tubing for the application.
Connection feels loose after shrinking
The tubing may have been too large for the connection. Reapply heat to ensure a tight fit, or consider using a smaller diameter tubing for future applications.
Tubing brittle or cracking
This may indicate overheating during the shrinking process. Allow the tubing to cool completely and check for damage. Ensure consistent heat application.
