(Heat Shrink Caps for Sacrifice Anode protection)

Product Data Sheet

Characteristics

This data sheet covers the requirements for heat shrinkable anode caps whose dimension will shrink to a predetermined size upon the application of heat above 125 deg. C. Color of the anode caps is black. The anode caps are pre-coated on the inside with butyl rubber based adhesive.

Typical Applications

Anode caps are used for protecting the anode ends where the lead wire is connected to the anode. Protection of the connection between anode and lead wire is important to prevent premature failure of the system due to corrosion causing lead wire to come out of the anode. The anode cap provides electrical insulation and stress relief to the connection. The special rubber based adhesive on the inside of the anode cap, provides a water-tight seal and protects the anode end from moisture. The application table gives the anode cap dimensions for each model.

The following application table gives the anode cap dimensions.
