CellPack CR Thin-Walled Heat Shrink Tubing, 2.4/1.2 mm, 1m Length, Mixed Colors, 100 Pieces

The CellPack CR thin-walled heat shrink tubing is a professional-grade solution designed for reliable electrical insulation, cable protection, and organized identification. This set includes 100 individual pieces, each measuring 1 meter in length, providing a versatile supply for various electrical projects. With a shrink ratio of 2:1, these tubes effectively conform to wires and components, shrinking from an initial diameter of 2.4 mm down to 1.2 mm. The inclusion of mixed colors allows for easy circuit tracing and cable management, ensuring that your installations remain both safe and orderly.

Advantages

This heat shrink tubing offers excellent mechanical strength and resistance to environmental factors, protecting your connections from moisture, dust, and abrasion. The thin-walled design ensures flexibility, making it easy to apply in tight spaces without adding unnecessary bulk to your cable assemblies. Because the material is highly durable, it maintains its integrity over time, providing a long-lasting seal that prevents wire fraying and short circuits. The 2:1 shrink ratio ensures a tight, secure fit around various wire gauges, while the pre-cut 1-meter lengths offer convenience and efficiency during installation.

Suitable for

• Electrical insulation of wire splices and terminals
• Cable bundling and organization in control panels
• Color-coded identification of electrical circuits
• Strain relief for cables and connectors
• Protection of components against mechanical stress and moisture

When it may not be suitable

This tubing is not intended for high-temperature environments that exceed the material's thermal rating or for applications requiring heavy-duty, thick-walled protection against extreme physical impact. It is also not suitable for direct burial or underwater applications where a waterproof adhesive-lined seal is required.

• Initial diameter: 2.4 mm
• Shrunk diameter: 1.2 mm
• Length per piece: 1 meter
• Quantity: 100 pieces
• Material type: Thin-walled heat shrinkable polyolefin
• Color: Mixed

How to use

To use the CellPack CR tubing, first select the appropriate color for your identification needs and cut the 1-meter tube to the desired length if necessary. Slide the tubing over the wire or component before making the connection. Once the connection is secure, position the tubing over the area to be insulated. Apply heat evenly using a heat gun or a similar heat source, moving the tool back and forth to prevent overheating. The tubing will shrink rapidly to conform to the shape of the underlying object. Allow the material to cool completely before handling the connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 2.4 mm initial diameter is sufficient to slide over your specific connectors or cable terminals.
• Ensure that the 1.2 mm shrunk diameter provides a tight fit for your wire gauge.
• Check if the operating temperature range of the tubing matches your specific application environment.
• Confirm that the mixed color assortment meets your requirements for circuit identification.

Usage recommendations: Always ensure the surface of the wire or component is clean and free of oils or debris before applying the tubing to ensure optimal adhesion and protection. Avoid using an open flame to shrink the tubing, as this can cause uneven heating and damage the material.
