TE Connectivity | Raychem High-performance Materials for Electrical, Industrial, and Aerospace Applications



Raychem (now part of TE Connectivity) produces a wide range of high-performance materials for electrical, industrial, and aerospace applications. Their core offerings span heat-shrink tubing, cable accessories, wire protection, and circuit protection systems.
1. Heat-Shrink Tubing & Sleeves
Raychem is widely known for pioneering heat-shrink technology. Their tubing covers a variety of industrial and commercial needs:
  • Single & Dual-Wall Tubing: Provides mechanical protection, strain relief, and moisture sealing.
  • Elastomeric Tubing: Flexible options resistant to abrasion and harsh fluids.
  • Solder Sleeves: Designed for soldered electrical terminations, wire splices, and shield grounding.
  • Molded Parts: Heat-shrinkable boots and end caps for cable sealing and breakouts.
2. Cable Accessories & Energy Products
Raychem produces reliable components for power grids and industrial networks:
  • Terminations & Joints: Heat-shrink and cold-shrink terminations (e.g., TKN XLPE Termination Kits) for up to 36kV, designed to withstand extreme temperatures and pollution.
  • Switchgear Connections: Insulated bushings, connectors, and adapters.
  • Insulation & Protection: Arc flash protection and wildlife/asset protection covers.
3. Wire & Cable
Engineered for rugged, high-performance environments (including aerospace and defense):
  • Hook-up Wire & Coaxial Cables: High-temperature, lightweight wires for demanding applications.
  • Shielded & Multiconductor Cables: Power and data cables utilizing radiation-linked jacketing for superior thermal durability.
4. Wire Identification & Protection
  • Marking Sleeves: Heat-shrinkable identification markers (e.g., HT-SCE series) designed to survive extreme temperatures and cleaning solvents.
  • Wire Management: Expandable braided sleevings, wraparound sleeves, and conduit systems for wire protection.
5. Circuit & Terminal Protection
  • Circuit Breakers & Fuses: Solutions for overcurrent and overtemperature protection.
  • Terminals & Splices: Heavy-duty terminals, butt splices, and parallel splices for secure wire connections.
(Note: For specific catalogs or design guides regarding high-voltage joints and terminations, you can consult technical references like this Raychem Catalog PDF for details on material performance and installation.)
