Methode Electronics, Inc. has released new medical grade shrinkMate™ heat-shrink tubing, which provides easy-to-apply shielding at the cable-to-connector joint, a common point of leakage.
Made of clear medical grade polyester, the lightweight tubing shrinks when heat is applied to firm a conductive seal around an object, providing EMI, RFI and ESD shielding without the use of solder.
The conductive tubing shrinks with a heat gun, oven, or any other conventional heat source, and when the tubing is set, the inner conductive layer provides an electrical connection between the outside surfaces of the objects that are joined by the tubing. Connections can easily be made between components of various sizes and shapes, and between solderable and non-solderabale surfaces.
Methode Electronics’ shrinkMate™ cable shielding tubing is also available in MIl-I-23053/5 polyolefin tubing. All shrinkMate™ products are RoHS and REACH compliant.
