Overview
The Raychem 202K132-25-0 is a modified elastomeric heat shrink boot from TE Connectivity’s established Raychem line, engineered for critical strain relief and sealing applications in harsh environments. This straight-lipped boot protects wire and cable terminations against fluid exposure, thermal cycling, and mechanical stress in military vehicle cables, aerospace harnesses, and industrial connector systems.
Key Features
- Molded elastomer construction with fluid-resistant properties for long-term performance in high-temperature and fluid-exposed environments
- 2.3:1 shrink ratio provides secure, uniform coverage on connector-cable transitions and cable-to-cable joints
- Straight-lipped design for precise positioning and professional appearance at termination points
- Operating temperature range of −75°C to +150°C meets military vehicle and aerospace reliability standards
- Compatible with Raychem grooved adapters and standard circular connector systems
Technical Specifications
The boot features black elastomer construction with the following dimensional and performance parameters:
- Unshrunk I.D.: 30 mm (1.18 in.)
- Recovered Minimum I.D.: 5.9 mm (0.23 in.)
- Total Length (unshrunk): 55 mm (2.17 in.)
- Shrink Ratio: 2.3:1
- Material: Fluid-resistant elastomer
- Configuration: Straight with lip
- Shrink Temperature: 135°C
- Operating Temperature Min/Max: −75°C to +150°C
Typical Applications
The 202K132-25-0 is specified for sealing and strain relief at connector-cable terminations and cable-to-cable transitions in demanding environments. Common applications include military vehicle harness systems, aerospace cable assemblies, naval equipment, and industrial automated machinery where fluid resistance and thermal cycling stability are critical.
