http://www.te.com TE Connectivity Heat Shrink Tubing/Harness Components News Feed <p>DARMSTADT, Germany -- March 28, 2011 -- TE Connectivity (TE) is pleased to announce the launch of a new low fire hazard, heat-shrinkable continuous identification tubing for industrial, rail & mass transit, aerospace & defense, as well as marine applications. HXCT continuous tubing is a flattened, heat-shrinkable tubing, providing superb print quality for crisp clear wire and cable harness identification. The tubing offers several cost and labour benefits during a print run: as it comes on continuous 50m or 100m spools, it minimises the number of spool changes. In addition, sleeves can be printed at a typical print speed of 75mm per second, which increases production speeds. Stock holding can be reduced as the length of the sleeve can be changed to individual requirements, so one part can be used instead of multiple assembled sleeves. Also, there is a flexibility to either cut or perforate the sleeve, with the latter saving manual cutting.</p> http://www.te.com/AboutUs/news/prodnews.asp?ID=1874 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 00:00:00 GMT <p>HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan 4, 2011 -- A new cold-applied splice from Tyco Electronics (TE) provides both wire termination and environmental sealing in a single step. Sealing is provided without the need for adhesives, tapes, grommets or other methods traditionally used in aerospace and defense applications. Because no heat is needed, the splice can be applied in potentially hazardous places such as in fueled aircraft.</p> http://www.te.com/AboutUs/news/prodnews.asp?ID=1857 Thu, 06 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT
