    Interference-Shielding Expandable Wire Sleeving

    Protect wire and cable from signal distortion caused by nearby equipment and devices. Expandable, this sleeving stretches to fit over items for easy installation, then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. The braided construction permits heat and moisture to dissipate. This sleeving is also used to insulate and organize wire and cable. Cut to size with sheet metal snips.
    Aluminum
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Sleeving. Interference-Shielding Expandable Wire Sleeving, Aluminum.
    Aluminum sleeving is about one-third the weight and reflects more heat away from its contents than copper sleeving. However, it doesn’t resist as much signal interference.

    Aramid Fabric with Tin-Plated Copper Shield
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Sleeving. Interference-Shielding Expandable Wire Sleeving, Aramid Fabric with Tin-Plated Copper Shield.
    Aramid fabric sleeving combines the benefits of copper and aluminum sleeving. It’s shielded with copper foil to resist high amounts of signal interference, while the aramid fabric weighs half as much and reflects more heat than copper alone.

    These braids have a flux core for lead-free and electrical solder applications. Place a braid and a hot iron tip over unwanted solder and the braid absorbs the molten solder. All have an ESD (electrostatic discharge) safe spool that won’t create ESD to protect sensitive components.
    Rosin Flux—Braids with rosin flux are quick acting with strong cleaning action but leave residue.
    No-Clean Flux—Braids with no-clean flux leave minimal residue so there is no cleanup after application.
    Lead-Free Flux—Braids with lead-free flux are designed to remove high temperature lead-free solder.
