Heat shrink accessories are essential for providing robust insulation, sealing, and mechanical protection for cables and their terminations. Key specifications include:
Material: Cross-linked polyolefin or elastomeric materials
Shrink Ratio: Typically 2:1, 3:1, or 4:1, indicating the reduction in size when heated
Operating Temperature: -55°C to +135°C
Dielectric Strength: High dielectric strength, typically >20 kV/mm
Flame Retardant: Options available with flame-retardant properties
Adhesive Lined: Some variants come with an adhesive lining for improved sealing against moisture and contaminants
Standards Compliance: Meets or exceeds IEC, UL, and MIL standards
Applications: Suitable for cable terminations, splices, and repairs in various environments
