Distributor for small pieces of Teflon insulating tubing?
Can anyone recommend a distributor for short lengths of Teflon
insulating tubing? (As in for 18, 22, etc. gauge wire). Mouser lists it but min order is 1000 feet... I only need a foot or two of each size. Tim. |

Allelectronics has #20 in 4 foot lengths for 60 cents. http://www.allelectronics.com/ This supplier will sell you small rolls (20 to 65 feet, depending on gauge) in #12 through #26 at $7.95 per roll: http://www.action-electronics.com/teflontube.htm Ed |

Some dispensing measurement methods 'flatten' the material, so that it will never again easily assume full diameter. RL |

I've had luck using silicone tubing as a high temp insulator in the past. Get it from old sections of spark plug wiring. Just pull out the core(carbon conductor with nylon weave jacketing.) with a pair of needle nose pliers.(For cores that are sticky spray a bit of silicone lubricant in between the silicone sleeve and the nylon jacketing.) Advantage is it's a good high temp insulator and can be gotten on the cheap. If you've got to have the teflon try a local plastics supply house in your area, or a plastics fabricator shop. They'll have odd bits that you could get cheaply. |
