Features
■ F T W-203 tubing has been engineered to offer a low shrink temperature of 100°C (212°F). T h i s allows the tubing to shrink rapidly, and minimizes heat exposure and possible damage to temperature sensitive s u b s t r a t e s .
■ F T W-203 tubing meets the performance requirements of MIL-DTL23053/5 Class 1, and is ULR e c o g n i z e d (File No. E48398) for flame retardance. It is rated for continuous operation from -55°C (-67°F) to 135°C (275°F), and withstands elevated temperatures of 300°C (572°F) for brief periods. SFTW-203 Tubing 3:1 Very Flexible Polyolefin Data Sheet Typical Applications The extra flexibility and low shrink temperature of SFTW-203 tubing make it ideal for shrink-fit jacketing and insulation of flexible wire bundles and temperature sensitive components. T h e 3:1 shrink ratio makes SFTW-203 the insulation of choice for end terminations where the connector body is larger than the cable and for repair applications where the tubing must be slid over a c o n n e c t o r. SFTW-203 can also be used to insulate an oversized component in line to the wiring. Shrink Ratio
■ F T W-203 has a 3:1 shrink ratio. W h e n freely recovered, the tubing will shrink to 33% of its as-supplied internal diameter. The recovered wall thickness of the tubing is proportional to the degree of r e c o v e r y. Standard Colors B l a c k . Standard Packaging Boxes of four-foot lengths, or larg e spools.
