TE Connectivity INSTALITE Molded Boots with Rayaten Shielding

TE Connectivity INSTALITE Molded Boots with Rayaten Shielding provide lightweight screening capability with 70dB of attenuation up to 1GHz. The INSTALITE Molded Boots are designed for high reliability, excellent strain relief, and enhanced EMI performance in a compact, rugged, and environmentally sealed format. These molded boots come in both the standard -25 (System 25) compound and the -100 (System 100) zero halogen, low fire hazard compound. Typical applications include radar systems, naval shipboard, and flight control systems.

Features

  • Approximate shrink ratio of 2:1
  • Available in straight, right-angled, and transitional shapes
  • Compatible with most circular connectors and backshells
  • Ensures EMI continuity from harness braid through the backshell
  • Options available for rectangular connector backshells, including D Subminiature
  • Provides 70dB of attenuation up to 1GHz
  • Resistant to abrasion
  • Resistant to common military fuels, oils, and greases

Applications

  • C4ISR systems
  • Flight control systems
  • Military ground vehicles
  • Missile and missile launchers
  • Naval shipboard
  • Radar systems

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.
