RW-175-1/8-X-STK

RW-175 Thin-wall, semirigid, fluoropolymer heat-shrinkable tubing RW-175 heat-shrinkable tubing is a tough, semirigid, very-thin-wall insulation. It is especially suitable for applications requiring high-temperature performance, outstanding abrasion and cut-through resistance, or superior chemical and solvent properties. The translucent polyvinylidene fluoride material permits visual inspection of covered components. RW-175 tubing provides electrical insulation and strain relief of multipin connectors and solder joints. It is also widely used as insulation for hightemperature components and heater leads. With its thin-wall construction, RW-175 is ideal for applications that require dense packing of components. RW-175 provides protection from most industrial solvents, fuels, and chemicals – including JP-8, oxidants, and strong acids. It is UL-recognized and CSA-certified at 150°C, 600 V, with VW-1 and OFT flame-retardancy ratings. Temperature rating Full recovery temperature: 175°C Continuous operating temperature: –55°C to 175°C Recommended maximum temperature for use as a primary insulator: 135°C Specifications* ®  Type RW-175 Raychem RW-3029/2 Military AMS-DTL-23053/8 UL E35586 VW-1 CSA LR31929 OFT *When ordering, always specify latest issue.
