insulation tape

Wire-wrapping sticky strip

Insulation tape is a pressure-sensitive tape used to insulate electrical wires and other conductive materials.

It's typically made of vinyl or rubber and stretches slightly to wrap tightly around connections, preventing short circuits and protecting against electrical shock.

Also called electrical tape.

Wrap the exposed wire with insulation tape.
