TE Connectivity INSTALITE Molded Boots with Rayaten Shielding

TE Connectivity (TE) now offers the Rayaten family of high performance, rugged, versatile, heat-shrinkable molded boots, that offer lightweight screening capability of 70 db of attenuation up to 1 Ghz. When looking for high reliability, excellent strain relief and enhanced EMI performance, in a small, rugged, environmentally sealed product, you can count on the Rayaten family of molded parts. Rayaten molded parts are available in standard -25 (System 25) compound, and -100 (System 100) Zero Halogen, low fire hazard compound. This next generation Rayaten product provides the same level of shielding and performance as the original Rayaten series, with improved installation properties, making it easier to use.

When you look for products that can withstand the harsh environment of aerospace, defense, and marine applications, you probably think of protecting against shock and vibration, corrosive fluids, and other physical threats. But there are also invisible threats, specifically EMI. TE Connectivity’s INSTALITE Molded Boots with Rayaten Shielding address the gap between cables and their connectors, providing high performance EMI shielding from the braid through the backshell.

Rayaten molded parts offer 70 dB of attenuation up to 1 GHz, and they can withstand the physical extremes of their intended applications, as they’re resistant to abrasion and most fuels, oils, and greases. They’re lightweight and fit most circular connectors and backshells, with D Subminiature options for rectangular connectors. Rayaten molded parts are available in straight, right-angle, and transitional shapes, have an approximately 2:1 shrink ratio, and are available in two compounds: the standard System 25 compound and the zero halogen, low fire hazard System 100 compound.
