The 3M™ Heat Shrink Thin-Wall Tubing FP-301 is a high-quality, versatile product designed to provide excellent protection from moisture, chemicals, corrosion, and other environmental factors. Its primary use is in electronics applications where electrical insulation and component protection are essential.
-
How long is each stick of tubing?
Each stick of tubing measures approximately 48 inches (122 cm). This length makes it easy to cut the tubing down to the exact size needed for your specific application.
-
How many pieces come in a case of 3M™ Heat Shrink Thin-Wall Tubing FP-301?
Each case contains 250 pieces of tubing. This means that you have an ample supply on hand and can use this product for multiple applications over time.
-
Is the yellow color important or just aesthetic?
The yellow coloration serves both practical and aesthetic purposes. It helps provide visibility so that technicians using fiber optics can easily identify different types of cables throughout their installation. Additionally, certain industries such as aerospace may require specific colors be used to meet regulations about color-coding standards among materials employed in manufacturing or assembly processes
-
.What diameter does this particular shrink tube fit onto?
The diameter matches exactly with its code "FP -301 -3/16" which indicates it will shrink down to a final inner dimension around 0.094". This size corresponds fairly well with external diameters slightly larger than three sixteenths inch (just under .1875").
3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing FP-301 is a versatile product that is designed to provide quick and easy identification of wires. The tubing is color coded, making it easy to identify the wire that it is covering. This split resistant and flame retardant tubing is used as shrink fit, electrical insulation over cable splices or terminations. The high expansion ratio tubing is mechanically tough, easily markable and resists cold flow.
The product is ideal for a variety of applications, including lightweight wire harness covering, fire-resistant covering, wire marking, wire bundling, and component packaging. It can withstand temperatures ranging from 67 to 275 degrees F (55 to 135 degrees C), making it suitable for use in a wide range of environments.
The 3M™ Heat Shrink Tubing FP-301 is UL Listed, SAE AS23053/5, Class 1, CSA Certified, and RoHS 2011/65/EU Compliant. This means that it meets the highest standards of quality and safety, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of applications.
