TE Connectivity (TE) Introduces the SWFR Single Wall, Heat Shrink Tubing

SWFR tubing from TE Connectivity (TE) is cost effective, highly flame-retardant; 2:1 shrink ratio tubing made irradiated, cross-linked polyolefin. It insulates and mechanically protects components, electrical connections, and terminations. SWFR is offered in two very flexible types. X2 is thin wall tubing, and X4 is very thin wall tubing. The thicker wall of the X2 offers better protection, while the space-saving thinner wall of the X4 permits denser packing of protected components and a faster shrink time to better protect against thermal damage of temperature-sensitive components. Both types are halogen free, permitting their use in enclosed spaces where toxic gasses from burning materials containing halogens is undesirable.

Features:

• Highly flame-retardant with UL VW-1 and CSA OFT flammability rating
• Environmentally friendly formula is essentially free of halogens, permitting use in enclosed areas where emission of toxic gasses from burning materials containing halogens is undesirable.

Benefits:

• Satisfy increasing demand for safety with highly flame-retardant UL VW-1 rating
• Acceptable for use in confined areas where halogenated materials are prohibited due to their emitting toxic or acidic gases when burned
• Enable electrical insulation and mechanical protection with irradiated polyolefin jacket
• Permit quick installation with low shrink temperature
• Allow for design flexibility with broad range of sizes and wall thicknesses

Applications:

• Household appliances
• Automotive
• Commercial electronics & communications
• Consumer products
• Industrial equipment
