3M™ Cold Shrink Silicone Insulators 8440 series is made of highly elastic Silicone rubber and is used both for the electrical insulation of polymeric or rubber-insulated cables up to 1 kV and for the protection and sealing of non-electrical applications. It also reliably protects connections between cables with different diameters.
3M™ 8440 Series Cold Shrink Silicone Insulator is an insulating sleeve that is specially formulated from high temperature silicone rubber for moisture protection. It maintains resiliency and pressure, even after years of aging and exposure. This insulator ensures top moisture sealing for medium voltage, air insulated connectors and lugs. It offers resistance against acids, alkalis, fluid splashes, ozone, ultraviolet light and fire. This insulator is ideal for use in sheath repairs and electrical aircraft cables and it provides insulation for inline conductor transition connectors. RoHS 2011/65/EU Compliant.
