Heat Shrink tubing: An alternative to tape for performance, durability and safety in high voltage electric vehicle applications.

Manufacturers and operators of systems with complex electrical infrastructures need reliable, proven
options to insulate components against heat and electric current, provide strain relief for connectors
and joints/splices, and protect and seal electric cables, wiring and components against water ingress,
exposure to chemicals and damage from abrasion or bending.

Today, heat shrink tubing and components
offer a versatile, reliable and cost-effective option to address these operational challenges.

Most recently, the electrification of vehicles is one of the key drivers of the heat shrink tubing industry. Electric vehicles (EVs) and Hybrids require the use of high-voltage cables and wiring for power transmission. These cables need to be protected from heat, moisture, and mechanical stress.

This paper provides an in-depth look at the inherent advantages that can result when heat shrink components and accessories are selected to terminate and connect electrical cables and connections, to maximize system reliability, reduce unplanned downtime, streamline field installation, and simplify the management of spare parts inventories to support routine maintenance and operation.
