How are the specifications of Nylon Cable Tie divided?
Nylon Cable Tie is a long strip made of nylon material with a locking device at one end. The width and length specifications are varied to meet different bundling needs. Nylon has the advantages of high strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and good insulation, which makes it suitable for use in various environments, including indoors and outdoors, high and low temperature environments, and it is flexible and not easy to break. When using, pass the cable tie through the object, insert the head into the lock and tighten it, and the lock will firmly lock the head. Nylon cable ties are widely used in electronics, electrical, communications, automobiles, aerospace and other fields, and are used to bundle wires, cables, pipes, wiring harnesses and other items to play a role in sorting, fixing and protecting.
The specifications of Nylon Cable Tie are mainly divided by the following aspects:
1. Width
The width of Nylon Cable Tie has a variety of specifications, and the common widths are 2.5 mm, 3.6 mm, 4.8 mm, 7.6 mm, etc. Narrower nylon cable ties are suitable for bundling thinner items, such as small wires and data cables; wider nylon cable ties can be used to bundle thicker items, such as cables and pipes.
2. Length
Length is also an important indicator of Nylon Cable Tie specifications. The length ranges from tens of millimeters to hundreds of millimeters, such as 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm, 300 mm, etc. Choosing the right length of nylon cable tie mainly depends on the circumference of the items to be bundled and the reserved length of the tie to ensure that the items can be firmly tied and will not be too long to affect the appearance and use.
3. Thickness
The thickness of Nylon Cable Tie is generally between 0.5 mm and 2 mm. Thicker cable ties usually have higher strength and durability, and are suitable for bundling heavier items or items that need to withstand greater tension; while thinner cable ties may be more suitable for some application scenarios with weight and space restrictions.
4. Lock type
Standard lock: This is the most common type of lock. After the cable tie head is inserted into the lock, the lock will tightly lock the head to prevent it from loosening. This lock is suitable for most conventional bundling needs.
Releasable lock: The lock of this Nylon Cable Tie can be loosened when needed, which is convenient for adjusting or reusing the cable tie. It is suitable for some situations where the bundled items need to be adjusted or replaced frequently.
Double lock: It has a double locking mechanism, providing higher security and stability to prevent accidental loosening. It is often used in some occasions with very strict bundling requirements, such as aerospace, automobile and other fields.
5. Color
Although color usually does not directly affect the performance of Nylon Cable Tie, different colors can be used to distinguish different uses or lines. Common colors are white, black, yellow, blue, green, etc. For example, in electrical wiring, Nylon Cable Tie of different colors can be used to distinguish different wires or cables.
6. Temperature resistance level
Depending on the different application environments, the temperature resistance of Nylon Cable Tie is also different. Generally divided into ordinary type and high temperature resistant type. The temperature range of ordinary Nylon Cable Tie is usually around -20℃ to 85℃; high temperature resistant Nylon Cable Tie can be used at higher temperatures, such as -40℃ to 150℃ or even higher. High temperature resistant Nylon Cable Tie usually uses special nylon materials or adds high temperature resistant additives to meet the requirements of use in high temperature environments.
