Why Choose the Partex ECHS224BLACK 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS224BLACK is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, wire identification, cable protection and professional cable management. Supplied in black, this heat shrink sleeve has a nominal supplied diameter of 2.4 mm and a fully recovered diameter of 1.2 mm, making it suitable for small-diameter wires, conductors and electrical connections.
Designed for dependable electrical installation and cable management, the ECHS224BLACK contracts when heated, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible cables and components. Its 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can reduce to approximately half its original internal diameter, helping provide a neat and secure finish for electrical wiring and cable assemblies.
With a 2.4/1.2 mm diameter specification and a generous 150 m pack length, the Partex ECHS224BLACK is particularly suitable for electrical panel builders, wiring harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and OEM production environments. The black colour provides a discreet, professional appearance for cable insulation and protection, while the long supply length is convenient for repeated cutting and installation.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Cable Protection
Heat shrink tubing provides a practical method of insulating, identifying and protecting electrical wires and cable assemblies. The Partex ECHS224BLACK is designed to shrink when heat is applied, allowing the sleeve to conform closely to compatible conductors and components. Its 2:1 shrink ratio makes it useful for applications requiring a compact, tidy and professional cable finish.
The ECHS224BLACK is particularly suitable for electrical panel builders, automation engineers and wiring harness manufacturers working with small-diameter conductors. Its black finish provides a consistent appearance within electrical installations, while the 150 m supply length supports efficient preparation of multiple cable assemblies. For best results, the tubing should be selected according to the component diameter and heated evenly using a suitable heat gun, following the manufacturer's installation guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex ECHS224BLACK used for?
The Partex ECHS224BLACK is black heat shrink tubing used for electrical insulation, cable protection, wire identification and the finishing of compatible electrical cable assemblies.
What does the 2:1 shrink ratio mean?
A 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can shrink to approximately half its original internal diameter when fully recovered. The ECHS224BLACK has a nominal supplied diameter of 2.4 mm and a fully recovered diameter of 1.2 mm.
What size cable is the ECHS224BLACK suitable for?
The tubing has a nominal starting diameter of 2.4 mm and a recovered diameter of 1.2 mm. It is intended for suitably sized small-diameter cables and components. The tubing must fit over the component before heating and be capable of shrinking sufficiently to provide the required fit.
How is the Partex ECHS224BLACK installed?
Cut the tubing to the required length, slide it over the cable or component and apply controlled heat using a suitable heat gun. The tubing contracts around the component as it heats. Follow the manufacturer's recommended installation conditions and avoid overheating.
How much heat shrink tubing is supplied in one pack?
The Partex ECHS224BLACK is supplied in a 150 m pack, making it suitable for electrical workshops, control panel assembly, wiring harness production and repeated maintenance applications.
