Whitepaper: Heat Shrink Tubing Technology

Manufacturers and operators of systems with complex electrical infrastructures need reliable, proven options to insulate components against heat and electric current, provide strain relief for connectors and joints/splices, and protect and seal electric cable, wiring and components against water ingress, exposure to chemicals and damage from abrasion or bending. Today, heat shrink tubing and components offers a versatile, reliable and cost-effective option to address all of these operational challenges. 

This white paper provides an in-depth discussion of the inherent advantages that can result when heat shrink components and accessories are selected to terminate and connect electrical cables and connections, to maximize system reliability, reduce unplanned downtime, streamline field installation, and simplify the management of spare parts inventories to support routine maintenance and operation. With a focus on proper material selection and installation, the use of TE Connectivity (TE) heat shrink components can give system owners and operators peace of mind, and over the lifecycle of these installations, these premium products strive to pay for themselves, by stability, durability, and dependability to perform over an expected service lifetime of 40+ years, in harsh climate conditions.
