Raychem RBK-VWS Shrink Sleeve – Reliable Protection for Electrical Connections in the Automotive Sector
The Raychem RBK-VWS shrink sleeve from TE Connectivity is a dual-wall, heat-shrinkable sleeve specifically designed to provide an environmental seal for electrical connections in automotive environments. Moisture can enter the connection area directly or indirectly via capillary action between the wires, leading to corrosion. This effect is accelerated by temperature variations, making moisture protection crucial in the automotive sector.
Superior Moisture Protection for Electrical Connections
The RBK-VWS shrink sleeve is carefully placed over the connection area. When heated, the adhesive melts and is pressed firmly around the shrunk or welded wires. This creates a reliable moisture seal, offering protection against corrosion and other environmental factors. In addition to moisture protection, the shrink sleeve provides mechanical protection against bending, wear, and abrasion, while also ensuring electrical insulation. The sleeve is available in four different sizes, suitable for various connection profiles, making it a versatile solution for a range of automotive applications.
