Insulating electrical conductors in discrete circuits has been a necessary process since the inception of electricity. Many studies, developments and innovations in the wire industry have been made regarding thickness, physical characteristics, insulation material types — all with one goal. Safely and effectively insulating the electrical conductors carrying power. Using Heatshrink There are many implications for heatshrink tubing from safety and physcial reinforcement to identifying wire ends. Safety When a wire is stripped to reveal its inside conductors for crimping, soldering or connecting to an electrical system, there is often a need to re-cover the copper to protect the circuit …
The Evolution Of Wire Labelling Techniques: Has Quality Improved?
An older method of marking still in use today in many industries, but with caution in the commercial wire industry is Hot Stamping. This method of marking involves some type of heated die and a transfer foil. The foil is placed between the item being…
