Protect from Abrasion, Corrosion, and Noise
TE Connectivity (TE) heat shrink tubing provides electrical insulation, mechanical protection, environmental sealing, and strain relief for applications such as back-end connector sealing, breakouts, and connector-to-cable transitions. It is a solid alternative to taping, molding or potting. When heated, it conforms to the size and shape of the substrate beneath, enabling quick and easy installation. Its high expansion ratio makes it possible to repair most damaged cable jackets without removing connectors. Available in a wide range of materials, colors, and sizes, heat shrink tubing is delivered in forms such as spools, 1.2 m lengths, and cut pieces. Clear types permit inspection of covered components and offer excellent transmittance of light.

- Products by Type
- Products by Applications
Single Wall - Insulate and protect quickly
Gain superior insulation, strain relief, and protection against mechanical damage through the use of single wall tubing.
Single wall heat shrink tubing insulates, provides strain relief, and protects against mechanical damage and abrasion. Our heat shrink tubing offers a high-performance alternative to standard approaches for insulation, such as taping and molding in place. The tubing comes in a wide range of sizes, colors, and materials. When heated, it shrinks to conform to the size and shape of the underlying material - making installation fast and easy.
Dual Wall - Resist moisture while insulating, protecting
Protects against moisture and corrosive environments, while providing electrical insulation and mechanical protection using engineered adhesives.
When corrosion protection and sealing are required, use TE's heat shrink dual wall tubing. Dual wall tubing products consist of a crosslinked outer jacket and an inner layer of adhesive or encapsulant. During installation, the adhesive or encapsulant lining melts and flows, creating a moisture-resistant protective barrier. Benefits of this type of tubing include controlled amounts of adhesive and consistent results; compliance with AMS-DTL-23053 standards; UL recognition/CSA certification; and RoHS Compliant.
Heavy Duty - Protect with heavy duty tubing
When an application requires more robust protection, heavy duty heat-shrinkable tubing is the cost-effective solution for optimizing insulation and protection.
When an application requires more robust protection, heavy duty heat shrink tubing provides cost-effective solutions. Heavy duty tubing offers toughness, durability, excellent insulation, abrasion protection, mechanical abuse reliability, and resistance to chemicals, moisture and oils when industry standards require rugged tubings. The thick wall insulates and protects. Benefits of this type of tubing include controlled amounts of adhesive and consistent results, compliance with AMS-DTL-23053 standards, and multiple products offered in flame-retardant (FR) versions.
Harnessing Tubing - Engineered for Fluid Resistance and Flexibility
Our high-performance heat shrinkable tubing products are designed to meet harsh environments required by most ruggedized harness designs. For more than 50 years, our general-purpose Raychem harnessing tubing have been designed to withstand exposure to temperatures in excess of 200°C. The use of Raychem harnessing tubing allows simple design and cost effective custom harnesses. This product is specifically designed for aerospace and military platforms.

Auto & Truck Harnessing - Heat Shrink Tubing for Automotive, Truck, Bus, and Off-Road Vehicles
Designed for demanding environments, TE's heat shrink tubing products provide long-term protection against moisture ingress, corrosion, mechanical damage, and extreme temperature.
TE provides a complete solution for heat shrink tubing products, including services for installation equipment, application engineering support, and training. TE’s Raychem heat shrink tubing products are made from uniquely formulated materials that have been enhanced by radiation cross-linking, a technology that TE has pioneered. Our product design provides a repeatable, reliable, shrink to fit installation compatible with many manufacturing processes. TE's single wall tubing products can be used wherever reliable insulation, strain relief, and protection from mechanical abrasion and chemical abuse is needed. These are an ideal way to identify or code components, or simply use them to enhance aesthetics. TE's adhesive-lined product range shows its strength where sealing and encapsulation are critical requirements, as well as demonstrating many of the features of the single wall products. The inner adhesive can deliver a true seal against moisture and fluid ingress.
