Description
Heat shrink tubes for FPV drones
Heat shrink tubes are essential when building a drone: you slide them over a solder joint and, when heated, they shrink to half their diameter, leaving the joint insulated and protected. This set has 580 PVC tubes in several sizes and colours, organised in a box.
Having several diameters to hand lets you cover everything from a receiver’s thin wires to thick battery leads, and the colours help you tell positive, negative and signal wires apart.
Set specifications
- Quantity: 580 tubes
- Material: PVC
- Shrink ratio: 2:1
- Several diameters and colours, in a box with compartments
Besides insulating joints, heat shrink is useful for bundling wires, protecting antennas from rubbing on the frame and colour-marking batteries or leads so you can recognise them at a glance at the field.
How to use them
Pick a tube a little wider than the joint and slide it onto the wire before soldering. Then move it over the joint and heat it with a heat gun, or carefully with a lighter, turning it so it shrinks evenly.
Frequently asked questions about heat shrink tubes
How much do they shrink?
Down to half their original diameter, a 2:1 ratio.
