RT-3 Heat Shrink Tubing : Semirigid, Flame-retardant Polyolefin
RT-3 is a single wall, semi-rigid, engineered with radiation-crosslinked, and flame-retardant polyolefin. The RT-3 is well suited for wire strain-relief applications like semi-automated production equipment. Size and ratios available for specific spade/disconnect terminals.
Overview
RT-3 tubing is ideally suited for wire strain-relief applications. It provides excellent strain relief and insulation of “weak points,” transferring flex stress away from solder and crimp joints and other typically sensitive wire splice and termination points.
RT-3 is especially well suited for semi-automated production equipment requiring tubing with a tightly controlled expanded diameter. Sizes and expansion ratios of RT-3 are available for specific spade/disconnect terminals.
RT-3 tubing is made from a semi rigid, radiation-cross linked, flame-retardant polyolefin. Unlike other typical flame retardant tubings, RT-3 tubing is free of polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated biphenyl oxides (PBBOs). RT-3 is UL-recognized in all colors and CSA- certified in black at 125°C, 600 V.
