Kapton®/ Nomex® End Caps, non-shrinking, class H (180 °C)

0,00

 

End Caps, non-shrinking, for insulation in varnish-impregnated electric motors of temperature class H.

 

  • Available with inner diameters from 2.00 mm and with wall thicknesses from 0.0350
  • Five-layer composite of DuPont™ Nomex® 411 and Kapton® results in high dielectric strength and high mechanical stability.
  • The materials are UL recognized
  • Suitable for use in temperature class H up to 180 °C.

 

The multi-layer, non-shrink End Caps made of DuPont™ Kapton® film and Nomex® are designed for use in paint-soaked electric motors. Two layers of Nomex® type 411 form a composite with a protective layer of three layers of Kapton®. The non-calendered, inner insulation takes on the properties of the impregnating varnish during impregnation, thus increasing the dielectric strength and mechanical stability of the End Caps. The penetrated impregnating varnish also secures the End Caps in position. The End Caps retain their mechanical and electrical properties even at high temperatures. The ultrasonic welding of the End Caps is chemically resistant and contributes to the robustness of the Products. These non-shrink End Caps are very suitable for use in series production where easy processing is required. They are mainly used in electric motors, aviation and the automotive industry.
