shrinkMate

Methode developed the shrinkMate® tubing system by integrating our conductive ink formulation and electronic assembly shielding expertise with EMI, RFI and ESD requirements. shrinkMate connectors consist of R-46846 polyolefin shrink tubing coated, on the inner surface, with Methode's conductive silver ink formulation. When heat is applied from a typical heat gun, the tubing shrinks without causing the inner conductive coating to fracture or buckle, maintaining conductivity and creating an electrical connection between the outside surfaces of the objects joined by the tubing.
