Coaxial cables: Properties and Applications
Within GREMCO’s wide product portfolio of wires and cables, coaxial cables represent a specialty. Accordingly, these are bipolar cables, consisting of an inner and an outer conductor. The construction of the product is concentric. Consequently, the inner conductor, sometimes called the “core”, is surrounded by the hollow-cylindrical outer conductor at a constant distance. In this[…]

FITCOTUBE® shrink tubing: medium and thick wall versions
Medium- and thick-wall FITCOTUBE® shrink tubing made of polyolefin with and without adhesive coating is characterized by consistent, high-ratio shrinkage. Compared to thin-wall shrink tubing, the significantly higher wall thickness ensures optimum electrical and mechanical insulation, pressure-tight sealing, and excellent protection against moisture. In addition, the aforementioned GREMCO products are self-extinguishing as well as resistant[…]

ePTFE membranes in battery vents: Quality assurance tests
Particularly to ensure safe, long-term use of lithium-ion batteries in motorized vehicles, functional venting systems are essential to compensate for temperature and pressure fluctuations. Battery housings sealed to protect against external influences are highly susceptible to pressure or temperature changes due to the lack of replaceability options. If these are not compensated for, damage to[…]

Solder and crimp splices: Variants and application
Solder and crimp splices provide the electrical connection of cables and wires; solder splices may also be used to terminate shielding. Soldering is a conventional method for reliable electrical connection of solderable metals. This solder moistens the metals without, however, fusing them. A distinction can be made between brazing and soft soldering. In brazing, temperatures[…]
