EM Group Thin-Walled Heat Shrink Tubing 4.8/2.4 mm, Assorted Colors, 50 Pieces x 1 m

The EM Group thin-walled heat shrink tubing set provides a versatile solution for electrical insulation and cable management. With a shrink ratio of 2:1, these tubes reduce from an initial diameter of 4.8 mm to 2.4 mm, ensuring a tight and secure fit around wires, connectors, and terminals. The package contains 50 individual pieces, each measuring 1 meter in length, featuring an assortment of colors that facilitate efficient cable identification and organization in complex wiring systems.

Advantages

This heat shrink tubing offers excellent flexibility and durability, making it suitable for protecting electrical components from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and mechanical abrasion. The thin-walled construction allows for rapid shrinking when exposed to heat, resulting in a professional and reliable seal. The inclusion of various colors simplifies the process of color-coding circuits, which significantly reduces maintenance time and minimizes the risk of connection errors during installation or repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Electrical insulation of wire splices and terminals
• Cable bundling and organization
• Color-coding of electrical circuits
• Protection of electronic components from environmental damage
• Strain relief for cable connections

When it may not be suitable

This product is designed for standard electrical and electronic applications and may not be suitable for environments requiring high-temperature resistance or heavy-duty mechanical protection. It is not intended for use in high-voltage power transmission lines or areas exposed to aggressive chemical solvents.

Key specifications

• Shrink ratio: 2:1
• Initial diameter: 4.8 mm
• Shrunk diameter: 2.4 mm
• Length per piece: 1 meter
• Quantity: 50 pieces
• Material: Heat-shrinkable polyolefin

How to use

To use the tubing, cut a piece to the desired length and slide it over the wire or connection point. Apply heat evenly using a heat gun or another appropriate heat source, moving the tool along the tubing until it shrinks completely and conforms to the shape of the underlying object. Ensure that the heat source is kept at a safe distance to prevent overheating or burning the material. Allow the tubing to cool down completely before handling the connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 4.8 mm diameter is sufficient to cover your specific wire or connector size.
• Ensure you have a suitable heat source, such as a heat gun, available for installation.
• Consider the environmental conditions of your application to ensure polyolefin material is appropriate.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, always ensure the surface of the cable is clean and free of oil or debris before applying the tubing. Avoid using an open flame for shrinking, as it may cause uneven heating and damage the material.
