Heatshrink
Heavy Wall Strain Relief Sleeves
AHW
Description
AHW is a non flame retardant heavy wall heatshrink sleeving designed for strain relief of heavy connectors, where flexing of cable at the cable/connector interface can lead to damage of the conductor and ultimately failure. AHW addresses this problem by dissipating the bending force over a larger radius and away from the connector/cable interface.
Features
- Shrink Ratio 2 : 1 and 3 : 1
- Operating temperature – 35 to 125°C
- High chemical resistance
- Excellent mechanical and abrasion resistance
- Colours — Black and neutral
- Minimum shrink temperature 120°C
Applications
- Mechanical strain relief at cable/connector interface
