letting the cold shrink tube contract to fit snugly over the cable. Heat shrink requires a heat source, usually a torch, to shrink it over the splice or termination. Heat shrink also requires more ...

Interference fits can be achieved in two ways: via the application of force, or by exploiting thermal expansion and contraction effects in a process known as shrink fitting. Creating an interference ...

Shrink-fitting achieves an interference fit between tool and holder by creating a temperature difference between the two before assembly. Once everything returns to temperature, the two parts may ...
