This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Cold Shrink Tape, Tubing category on DigiKey.com
Cold Shrink Tubing are hollow pieces of plastic tubing with both ends open. The tubing remains expanded until the center core of the tubing is removed. The tubing then shrinks to seal the items inserted into the tubing. Cold Shrink Tape provides a covering without any adhesive or mastic. The tape material reacts with itself to form a protective layer.
