CellPack CR Thin-Walled Heat Shrink Tubing 4.8/2.4 mm, 1m Length, Blue

The CellPack CR thin-walled heat shrink tubing is a versatile solution for electrical insulation and cable management. With a shrink ratio of 2:1, this tubing is designed to provide a secure and durable fit around cables and connectors. Measuring 4.8 mm in diameter before shrinking and reducing to 2.4 mm after heat application, it effectively conforms to various shapes, ensuring reliable protection against mechanical stress, abrasion, and environmental factors. The 1-meter length makes it convenient for precise cutting and application in both professional and DIY projects.

Advantages

This heat shrink tubing offers excellent electrical insulation properties, ensuring safety in various wiring applications. Its thin-walled construction provides flexibility without compromising on strength, allowing for easy installation in tight spaces. The material is resistant to common environmental stressors, which helps in maintaining the integrity of cable connections over time. By using this tubing, users can achieve a clean, organized, and protected cable assembly that meets professional standards.

Suitable for

• Electrical insulation of wires and terminals
• Cable bundling and organization
• Protection against mechanical wear and tear
• Repairing damaged cable insulation
• Color-coding electrical circuits

When it may not be suitable

This tubing is not intended for high-temperature environments that exceed its thermal rating or for applications requiring heavy-duty chemical resistance. It should not be used as a primary structural support for heavy cables or in scenarios where the tubing will be subjected to constant high-pressure friction.

Key specifications

• Shrink ratio: 2:1
• Initial diameter: 4.8 mm
• Shrunk diameter: 2.4 mm
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: Blue
• Wall thickness: Thin-walled

How to use

To use the CellPack CR heat shrink tubing, first measure the cable or component you intend to cover and cut the tubing to the required length. Slide the tubing over the area to be insulated. Using a heat gun or a similar heat source, apply heat evenly around the circumference of the tubing, starting from one end and moving toward the other. Continue heating until the tubing has shrunk tightly around the object and appears smooth. Allow the material to cool completely before handling or applying further stress to the connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the initial diameter is large enough to slide over your connector or cable.
• Verify that the shrunk diameter provides a tight fit for your specific wire gauge.
• Check if the blue color meets your requirements for circuit identification.
• Confirm that the 1-meter length is sufficient for your intended project.

Usage recommendations: Always use a controlled heat source such as a heat gun to ensure uniform shrinking and to prevent overheating or burning the material. Avoid using an open flame, as it may cause uneven shrinkage or damage to the tubing.
