8 mm Heat Shrink Sleeve Tube (1 meter)

1. 8 mm Diameter: The heat shrink sleeve tube has an inner diameter of 8 mm when in its expanded state. This diameter is important because it determines the size of wires or components it can accommodate. When heated, the tubing shrinks down to a smaller size to provide a snug fit.

2. Length: 1 Meter: This heat shrink tubing is supplied in a length of 1 meter (approximately 3.28 feet). Having a longer length allows you to cut it into the desired sizes for your specific applications.

3. Heat Shrinkable: The key feature of this tubing is its ability to shrink when exposed to heat. When heated using a heat gun or other heat source, the tubing contracts in size and conforms tightly around the object it's covering. This provides insulation, protection, and strain relief.

4. Color: The color of the heat shrink tubing can vary, but it's often transparent or clear. This allows you to see the underlying wires or components and is useful when you want to maintain visibility of labels or markings on the covered items.

Applications:

• Wire Insulation: It's used to insulate and protect exposed wires and connections, reducing the risk of electrical shorts and improving safety.

• Cable Splicing: Heat shrink tubing can be used to splice wires together securely and insulate the connection.

• Component Protection: It's used to protect electronic components and connections from moisture, dust, and physical damage.

• Identification: Heat shrink tubing can also be used for labeling and color-coding wires and cables.

• Strain Relief: It provides strain relief by preventing wires from bending sharply near connectors, which can lead to wire fatigue and failure.
