Demonstration of Dual Wall Heat Shrink Tubing Installation
RBK-VWS Heat Shrink Tubing : Clear design for sealing and protection of inline wire splices.
RBK-VWS across is a clear dual wall heat shrink non flame retarded tubing which is designed to provide environmental sealing of an electrical splice in an automotive environment.
Overview
Dual-wall, heat-shrinkable tubing designed to provide environmental sealing of an electrical splice in an automotive environment. Moisture may enter a splice directly or indirectly via capillary action between individual wires, thus causing corrosion. This effect is accelerated by variations in temperature.
The tubing is centred over the splice area and during heating the adhesive melts and is ‘squeezed’ around where the wires are crimped or welded and between the conductors by the shrinking action of the sleeve. The installed product provides low profile mechanical protection against flexing, abrasion and cut through as well as electrical insulation. There are four sizes to cover the range of splice profiles.
Features
- 4:1 shrink ratio.
- Operating temperature from –40°C up to +125°C.
- Non flame retarded.
Benefits
- Excellent environmental seal.
- Mechanical protection against flexing, abrasion and cut-through.
- Small cross-sectional profile.
- Single component solution to seal, protect and insulate most in-line and stub splices.
- Complete environmental and moisture sealing for up to seven wires per side.
- Tubing and adhesive combination for superior strain relief.
- Clear tubing allowing inspection of wire splices.
- Application equipment and installation procedures to meet most harness production processes.
- RoHS/ELV compliant.
Applications
- Specially designed for environmental sealing and electrical insulation of wire splices, terminations and components where see through inspection is required.
- Meets most applicable world wide automotive OEM splice sealing specifications.
