M23053/1:
Intended for use on heavy duty cables or harness systems such as ground support.
/2 and /3:
Used for light-duty harnessing or wire bundling.
/4:
Used for one-step potting, encapsulation, or moisture sealing and corrosion protection of
electrical components or terminations.
/5:
Used for light-duty harness jackets, wire color coding, marking, or identification.
/6:
Used for wire identification, marking, or strain relief.
/7:
Used for light-duty wire identification and component covering.
/8:
Used for wire or termination strain relief at elevated temperatures.
/9:
Canceled.
/10:
Used for high-or low-temperature applications or where resistance to melting in high-blast
flame is required.
/11:
Used where strain relief is necessary at high temperatures.
/12:
Used at high temperatures where resistance to flame is important to protect high-
temperature cable, components, and terminations.
/13:
Used in elevated-temperature applications or where exposure to elevated-temperature
solvents is expected.
/14:
Used as component and electronic lead strain relief where low expansion ratios are
satisfactory. Operates over a fairly wide temperature range.
/15:
Used for repair of heavy duty cables and splice covers.
/16
Used on heavy duty cables or harness systems that are subjected to high levels of physical
abuse and exposure to fuels and oils coupled with high-and low- temperature extremes.
Tables 1-18 and 1-19 provide part numbers for two types of shrinkable tubing, M23053/5 and
M23053/4. These were chosen because of their wide range of sizes (M23053/5) and their abilities to
provide potting, encapsulating, or moisture sealing of electrical components (M23053/4).
