Electrical Tape Hellermann Tyton 712-00504

Hellermann Tyton 712-00504 electrical tape is a self-adhesive insulating tape designed for general electrical installation, repair and maintenance tasks. The tape is 50 m long, 19 mm wide and 0.31 mm thick, providing a consistent dielectric barrier and mechanical protection for wire splices, cable joints and bundled harnesses. Its physical dimensions and material properties make it suitable for both indoor and protected outdoor use where reliable insulation and abrasion resistance are required.

Advantages

This electrical tape offers uniform thickness and width for straightforward application and overlap consistency. The adhesive is formulated to provide secure adhesion to common cable jackets and conductor insulation while allowing removal without excessive residue in most situations. The tape's thickness contributes to effective insulation and improved mechanical protection, reducing the risk of short circuits and wear in cable assemblies.

Suitable for

• Insulating and protecting wire splices and cable joints
• Bundling and securing wiring looms and harnesses
• Temporary repairs and marking of cables during installation
• Home electrical maintenance and professional electrical installations

Key specifications

• Length: 50 m
• Width: 19 mm
• Thickness: 0.31 mm
• Material: electrically insulating tape suitable for general-purpose electrical use
• Color: standard (black) for general insulation and concealment

How to use

Ensure the surfaces to be taped are clean, dry and free of oil or dust. Start the wrap slightly overlapping the conductor insulation or cable jacket, pulling the tape taut to remove air pockets and provide even adhesion. Overlap each turn by approximately 50% for consistent dielectric coverage. For splices and joints, extend the tape several centimetres beyond the repair on both ends to ensure gradual stress distribution. Trim the tape with a suitable cutting tool and press the end firmly to secure the bond.

Usage recommendations

Use this tape for standard low-voltage electrical insulation and bundling tasks. Avoid exposure to open flame and prolonged direct sunlight; for long-term outdoor or high-temperature applications, select tape products specified for UV resistance or higher thermal ratings. Store rolls in a cool, dry place to preserve adhesive performance.
