Heat-Shrink Tubing Diagram

Ordering

Select a dimension which will shrink snugly over the component to be covered. If recovery is restricted the resultant wall thickness will be less than specified.

  • Select options:
    • Color: Red (RD)
  • Please specify the product name, order number and options you require
  • Order example: CBTM 2050, red or CBTM 76/30, red

Please contact your Customer Service Representative for information on custom colors, sizes, lengths and material data sheet.

Application ranges noted above selected to obtain minimum insulation thickness required to meet ANSI C37.20.2 withstands requirements at bus bar spacing noted below. These spacings were determined from a limited number of test configurations. Due to the wide variety of bus bar configurations, these spacings should not be employed without actual testing by the user.
