Silicone Rubber Extruded Fiberglass Sleeving
Turbo™ 117E - Silicone Rubber Extruded Fiberglass Sleeving
- Thermal Class: 200 ° C
- NEMA: TF-1, TYPE 5
- MIL-I-3190/6, MIL-P-18057 (grade A)
- UL FILE: E123956 (grade A)
Description
TURBO™ 117E is comprised of specially formulated high temperature silicone rubber extruded onto premium electrical grade braided fiberglass sleeving. The extrusion process results in a higher density coating that is more homogeneous, has better concentricity and yields longer continuous lengths than the typical liquid dipped products common to the industry.
Recomended Use
TURBO™117E is used for insulation of leads and connections in electrical and electronic components ( transformers, coils, relays, solenoids etc.) where temperature extremes from -70°C through 200°C are encountered. Silicone rubber coated glass sleeving is the only flexible insulating material which remains useful for continuous service in ambient temperatures from -70°C through +200°C.
Physical Properties
- Thermal:
TURBO™ 117E is rated Class H by IEEE standards, acceptable for continuous service from -70°C through 200°C. Operation at temperatures up to 315°C is tolerated for short durations. TURBOT'" 117Eexceeds all requirements of UL Subject 224 for 200°C, 600-volt operation. It also exceeds the requirements of MIL-I-3190, MILP-18057, and ASTM D372.
- Environmental:
TURBO™ 117E is resistant to moisture, corona, ozone, radiation, compression set, fungus, most chemicals and solvents, weathering, flexure fatigue and heat degradation.
- Flammability:
TURBO™ 117E burns slowly. The coating maintains its electrical integrity - even undersevere fire conditions- by forming a non-conductive ash.
