    The function of pigtail heat shrink tubing

    The tubing provides good electrical insulation, protection from dust, solvents and other foreign materials, and mechanical strain relief, and is mechanically held in place (unless incorrectly oversized or not properly shrunk) by its tight fit. Heat shrink tubing is a versatile plastic layer which can be applied to cabling and components for several purposes by electricians, engineers and similar professionals, including: They are also known as heat shrink sleeves, in particular when used with cables. The name refers to the fact that the. Heat-shrink tubing (or, commonly, heat shrink or heatshrink) is a shrinkable plastic tube used to insulate wires, providing abrasion resistance and environmental protection for stranded and solid wire conductors, connections, joints and terminals in electrical wiring. It can also be used to repair. The working principle is simple: The tubing – usually made from heat-resistant materials like PTFE or PVDF – is slipped over the component to be protected and then heated using a hot air gun. When heated, the tubing shrinks, and the adhesive melts to bond with the substrate.

    Below is a list of NEMA enclosure types; these types are further defined in NEMA 250- Enclosures for Electrical Equipment. Each type specifies characteristics of an enclosure, but not, for example, a specific enclosure size. Note that higher numbers do not include the lower-numbered tests. For example, types 3, 4 and 6 are intended for outdoor use, but type 5 is not. A NEMA enclosure rating does not mean that it also meets the same UL enclosure rating.
