To select the correct size SCL for you project, you want the tightest fit that will fit on your harness before it’s recovered. So if your harness is 5.8mm in diameter, choose 1\4″ (6.4mm) so the SCL will recover very tightly on your harness. Don’t choose a size so tight you need to force it on, the glue will mark your harness and not stay in the tube.
To get the best result consider the following
The best tip though, make a test piece! Get your process and heat source dialed in. The small investment in some wire offcuts and 3cm of SCL will be worth it before your spoil your project!
SCL is encapsulant-lined, heat shrinkable tubing that provides moisture resistance, strain relief, and electrical insulation for electrical splices, terminations, breakouts, and mechanical connections. SCL is constructed as a dual-wall tubing. The outer wall is a semirigid, crosslinked polyolefin, while the inner wall is a melt able polyolefin that flows with the application of heat. Heating SCL shrinks the outer jacket and melts the inner “encapsulant” wall to flow and fill surface irregularities. While still hot, the tubing can be pinched and blocked
to form a wire breakout. SCL provides a splash-resistant, moisture-resistant covering suitable for many applications. SCL also performs satisfactorily if briefly exposed to common solvents or chemicals. The installed tubing provides rugged protection against abrasion, vibration, and flexing. A wide range of applications can be accommodated with only a few sizes of SCL tubing.
