Electrical tape Hellermann Tyton 712-00205

Hellermann Tyton 712-00205 electrical tape is a flexible insulating tape designed for protecting and bundling electrical wiring. With a length of 10 m, width of 19 mm and thickness of 0.31 mm, this tape provides consistent coverage for splices, repairs and general wiring applications where a reliable insulating layer is required.

Advantages

The tape offers stable dielectric properties and mechanical flexibility that allow it to conform to irregular shapes and overlapping layers without breaking. Its thickness and width balance easy handling with sufficient tear resistance for manual application. The product is suitable for repeated manipulation during installation and provides a uniform insulating barrier that helps reduce exposure to moisture and abrasion in everyday electrical tasks.

Suitable for

• Insulating and protecting wire splices and terminations
• Bundling cables and securing small harnesses
• Temporary repairs on wiring in equipment, vehicles, and installations
• Colour-coding or marking circuits when using consistent tape colour

Key specifications

• Tape length: 10 m
• Tape width: 19 mm
• Tape thickness: 0.31 mm
• Material type: flexible electrical insulating film (PVC-based tape typical for electrical insulation)
• Mechanical properties: conformable and tear-resistant for hand application

How to use

Clean and dry the surfaces to be insulated. Begin wrapping the tape with slight tension, overlapping each turn by approximately half the tape width to ensure full coverage and a continuous insulating layer. For splices and terminations, extend the wrap beyond the exposed conductor length on both sides to secure a proper seal. Avoid overstretching the tape, as excessive tension can reduce insulating thickness. Cut or tear the tape cleanly at the end of application and press down the final layer to ensure adhesion.

Usage recommendations

Use the tape at ambient temperatures and store rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For permanent installations or environments with extreme heat, chemicals, or prolonged outdoor exposure, verify that the tape material and ratings meet the specific operational requirements or consider specialized insulating products designed for those conditions.
