3M™ Cold Shrink Connector Insulators 8440 Series are open-ended, silicone rubber, tubular sleeves. The sleeves are factory expanded and assembled on a removable supporting plastic core.
Each rubber assembly is supplied for field installation in this pre-stretched condition. As the core is unwound, the insulating sleeve shrinks to form a tight seal. A variety of sizes of Cold Shrink Insulators cover terminal lug barrels and inline connectors. Collectively, the insulators have an application range of 7.6 mm (0.3") to 24.1 mm (0.95") for installations on #6 AWG to 3/0 AWG.
