Connector manufacturers are increasingly offering smaller high performance, rugged, micro circular connectors for use in wiring looms in both civilian and defense markets.
The TE Connectivity range of small heat-shrink molded shapes has evolved in order to cater for these requirements for smaller, lighter-weight products that still offer a great balance of protection properties at the connector-wire interface. Produced in a variety of shapes and materials, TE Connectivity's range of Raychem branded molded shapes are supplied in expanded form. On the application of heat they shrink to a pre-determined size and shape, providing a tough, protective covering for the components over which they are installed.
