Additional Details
The RW-175 tubing has a shrink ratio of 2:1, meaning it will shrink to half its original diameter when heated. The "3/64" in the part number indicates the initial inner diameter of the tubing before shrinking, expressed in inches. The "X" likely indicates a specific color (consult TE Connectivity documentation for color codes). The flame-retardant properties of the tubing prevent the spread of fire in the event of a short circuit or other electrical fault. It is compliant with various industry standards, including UL and CSA. Proper heating tools, such as a heat gun, should be used to shrink the tubing evenly and avoid overheating or damaging the material. Consult the manufacturer's datasheet for detailed specifications, temperature ratings, and application guidelines.
