INGCO EE-MEA-HST-6MM,Heat Shrink Tube(EE-MEA-HST-6MM)

product details:

Heat shrink tubing (6mm) refers to heat shrink tubing with an un-shrunk internal diameter of 6 millimeters (approximately 0.24 inches). This size is commonly used in various electrical and mechanical applications for insulation, protection, and organization. Here’s a breakdown of its key features specific to the 6mm size and general properties of heat shrink tubing:

Material:

• Typically made from polyolefin materials like polyethylene or polypropylene. These materials offer good insulation properties, flexibility, and shrink ratios.
• For some applications, fluoropolymers (e.g., PTFE) might be used if higher temperature resistance or chemical resistance is required. However, these tend to be more expensive.

Properties:

• Diameter: 6 millimeters (un-shrunk inner diameter).
• Shrink Ratio: This depends on the specific tubing you choose. Common shrink ratios for heat shrink tubing in general are 2:1 (shrinks to half its original diameter, so for 6mm it would become 3mm) and 3:1 (shrinks to one-third its original diameter, so for 6mm it would become 2mm).
• Temperature Rating: The maximum temperature the tubing can withstand before melting. It’s crucial to choose a heat shrink tube with a temperature rating higher than the expected operating temperature in your application. Common temperature ratings range from 80°C (176°F) to 125°C (257°F) for general-purpose polyolefin tubing.
• Dielectric Strength: This indicates the tubing’s ability to resist electrical current leakage. It’s important for electrical insulation applications.
