RW-175-1/2-X-STK

RW-175
Thin-wall, semirigid, fluoropolymer
heat-shrinkable tubing
RW-175 heat-shrinkable tubing is a
tough, semirigid, very-thin-wall
insulation. It is especially suitable for
applications requiring high-temperature
performance, outstanding abrasion
and cut-through resistance, or superior
chemical and solvent properties.
The translucent polyvinylidene fluoride
material permits visual inspection of
covered components.
RW-175 tubing provides
electrical insulation and strain
relief of multipin connectors and
solder joints. It is also widely
used as insulation for high-
temperature components and
heater leads. With its thin-wall
construction, RW-175 is ideal for
applications that require dense
packing of components.
RW-175 provides protection from
most industrial solvents, fuels,
and chemicals – including JP-8,
oxidants, and strong acids. It is
UL-recognized and CSA-certified at
150°C, 600 V, with VW-1 and OFT
flame-retardancy ratings.
Temperature rating
Full recovery temperature: 175°C
Continuous operating temperature: 55°C to 175°C
Recommended maximum temperature for use as a primary insulator: 135°C
