Wire Protection Materials
- Heat Shrink Tubing: Seals and insulates wires; shrinks when heated.
- Sleeving (Braided): Provides abrasion resistance and bundle management.
- Conduit (Flexible): Plastic or metal tubing for mechanical protection.
- Tape (Electrical, Vinyl): Insulation and minor protection.
- Spring Covers: Metal spirals for high-flex and cut resistance.
- Potting Compounds: Epoxy or silicone to encapsulate wire joints.
- Corrugated Tubing: Ribbed plastic for routing and crush protection.
Select based on environment: temperature, moisture, flex, and mechanical stress.
