Raychem RBK-ILS Heat Shrink Tubing – Reliable Protection for Electrical Connections in Automotive Applications
The Raychem RBK-ILS heat shrink tubing from TE Connectivity is a dual-wall, shrinkable tubing specifically designed to encapsulate electrical connections in automotive environments, providing moisture resistance. In this industry, protection against moisture is crucial, as moisture can infiltrate the connection area through capillary action between individual wires, leading to corrosion and connection failure.
Optimal Protection Against Moisture and Corrosion
The RBK-ILS heat shrink tubing is carefully placed over the connection area. When heated, the adhesive melts and tightly presses around the wires, where they are either shrunk or welded. This creates a reliable moisture seal that protects against corrosion and other environmental factors. In addition to moisture protection, the tubing provides mechanical protection against bending, abrasion, and cutting, while also ensuring electrical insulation for the connections. Moreover, the outer layer is flame-retardant, adding an extra layer of safety for demanding environments.
The RBK-ILS heat shrink tubing comes in five different sizes, suitable for a variety of connection profiles, and can cover up to seven wires per side. The sleeves are labeled with the size (e.g., RBK-1), making it easy to select the right size for your specific application.
