SCL-3/8-0-STK TE Connectivity size 3/8" (9.5/3.4mm) Semi-rigid Encapsulation Tubing
Raychem TE Connectivity SCL is designed to provide one-step moisture-proof encapsulation of a wide variety of electrical parts including wire splices, breakouts, and electronic components. The encapsulant melts and flows to fill surface irregularities of the substrate.
Encapsulates components, splices, and terminations where moisture resistance and mechanical protection are required. The encapsulant melts and flows to fill surface irregularities of the substrate. While still hot, the tubing can be blocked to form a wire breakout.
Raychem TE Connectivity SCL is designed to provide one-step moisture-proof encapsulation of a wide variety of electrical parts including wire splices, breakouts, and electronic components.
Manufactured from radiation cross-linked polyolefins, SCL has an inner wall, which melts at 100°C, and is forced into the crevices and interstices by the shrinking action of the outer tubing. When cooled, the entire mass becomes a rigid, tough, homogeneous covering with controlled wall thickness. SCL shrinks between 17% and 40% of its supplied diameter according to size and therefore few sizes are required to cover a range of irregular shapes with widely varying dimensions.
Unaffected by most solvents and chemicals and non-corrosive in contact with electrical joints, SCL also has high dielectric strength.
Other sizes are available upon request.
Features and Benefits:
3:1 Shrink Ratio
TE Connectivity
RoSH Compliant
Excellent strain relief and insulation of weak points
Rugged protection against abrasion, vibration, and flexing
Splash-resistant, moisture-resistant covering; not intended for use where immersion in fluids is required
SCL is used for encapsulating and protecting delicate electronic components
It is semi-rigid which helps to provide support while allowing flexibility for routing
It can be used for insulating connections, splices, and terminations in both indoor and outdoor environments
The tubing is resistant to vibration, moisture, and temperature changes and can be used in automotive applications to shield and insulate electrical wires, connections, and other components
