VERSAFIT-1/4-3-SP (4222674003) - Tyco Electronics

Versafit

Highly flame-retardant, low recovery

temperature, heat-shrinkable tubing

Versafit heat-shrinkable tubing is a

cost-effective choice for many

commercial and military applications.

Versafit tubing is made from a

specially formulated, crosslinked

polyolefin to provide high flame-

retardance (VW-1), excellent flexibility,

and a low shrink temperature (to

reduce installation time).

Versafit tubing performs a variety

of functions in commercial and

military applications:

■Electrically insulates and protects

in-line components, disconnect

terminals, and splices.

■Bundles wires for very flexible

light-duty harnesses.

■Identifies or color-codes wires,

cables, terminals, and components.

Versafit tubing hot-stamps

extremely well.

Compared to noncrosslinked

materials, Versafit tubing has a higher

temperature rating and exhibits better

the r ma l stability and resistance to

physical abuse.

Unlike other typical flame-retardant

tubings, Versafit tubing is free of

polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and

polybrominated biphenyl oxides and

ethers (PBBOs/PBBEs). In Europe,

these chemicals are classified as

environmentally hazardous

substances.
