Thomas & Betts EZ-YHS34 Label Printers and Labels

No. The EZ-YHS34 cassettes fit the EZL-100 printer only. If you're running a different label printer, these cassettes won't load or feed, so you need media made for that machine instead.

Yes. Orders go in multiples of 5 cassettes. Each cassette is the inner package of 1 and the outer package is 5, so plan your count in fives even though the selling unit is listed as each.

The wire range on the EZ-YHS34 cassette is 2 to 4 AWG. The sleeve is a 3:1 shrink ratio polyolefin, so it slips over the conductor loose and pulls down tight with heat. For smaller conductors you'd want a narrower cassette, because an oversized sleeve won't shrink down enough to grip.

The sleeve material is flame retardant polyolefin and is chemical and solvent resistant, and the printed lettering is non-smudging. That combination is what makes it suitable for panel wiring, motor leads, and cable runs where a stick-on wrap label would lift or smear.

The EZ-YHS34 cassette is yellow. The same heat-shrink marker line is also offered in white and metallic, so if your spec calls for black-on-white identification you'd order a white cassette instead of this one.

A heat shrink sleeve goes on the conductor and shrinks to it permanently, so there is no adhesive edge to peel back in heat, oil, or after years of vibration. The trade-off is that the sleeve has to be slid onto a free conductor end, so it suits new pulls and terminations. Wrap-around labels are the choice when the wire is already terminated on both ends. These cassettes have a split-back, easy-peel design and are printed on the spot with the EZL-100.

Yes, the EZ-YHS34 heat shrink marker cassette is RoHS compliant, which is often what an institutional or government submittal asks for on wire identification media.
