Why Choose the Partex HSMB12CLEAR 2:1 Clear Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HSMB12CLEAR is a professional clear 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and the finishing of small-diameter wires and electrical connections. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 1.2 mm and a recovered diameter of 0.6 mm, this tubing contracts when heated to provide a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible conductors and electrical components.
Designed for precision wiring and electrical assembly applications, Partex heat shrink tubing is suitable for electronic equipment, industrial control panels, instrumentation wiring and electrical maintenance. Its transparent finish allows underlying cable identification, printed markings and conductor details to remain visible, making it particularly useful where electrical insulation and visual inspection are both important.
Supplied in a 20 m pack, the HSMB12CLEAR provides a practical solution for repeated wiring, cable identification and electrical assembly tasks. Its compact 1.2/0.6 mm nominal dimensions make it particularly suitable for fine wires, small electrical connections and precision cable management applications requiring a neat protective covering.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio allows the tubing to contract to approximately half its original nominal diameter.
- 1.2 mm supplied diameter suitable for fine wires and appropriately sized electrical connections.

Precision Wire Insulation and Identification for Electrical Systems
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors by contracting around wires and components when heat is applied. The Partex HSMB12CLEAR features a nominal 2:1 shrink ratio, allowing the tubing to reduce from approximately 1.2 mm to 0.6 mm in diameter when fully recovered. This makes it suitable for appropriately sized fine-wire connections, small conductor sections and precision electrical wiring assemblies.
The transparent finish is particularly useful in electronic equipment, instrumentation systems and industrial automation applications where underlying wire markings or identification details need to remain visible. The tubing can help protect conductor insulation and connection areas while supporting organised cable management. Installers should ensure that the tubing passes over the largest part of the connection before heating and recovers sufficiently around the underlying wire. Any required voltage rating, operating temperature or environmental protection classification should be confirmed against the applicable Partex technical documentation.
Typical Applications
- Fine-wire electrical insulation and conductor protection.
- Electronic equipment wiring and assembly.
- Instrumentation and signal wiring applications.
- Industrial control panel wiring and cable management.
- Protection of visible wire identification markings.
- Small electrical connections and conductor coverings.
- Precision wire harness assembly and cable organisation.
- Electrical maintenance, repair and workshop assembly tasks.
