Seal and protect with molded boots
TE's Raychem heat-shrinkable boots and molded shapes fit the needs of nearly every electrical interconnect design and completes the bridge between sealed cable assemblies and connectors. Our heat shrink molded boots with adhesive coating form a watertight seal, helping protect cable from corrosion and mechanical abuse while providing excellent electrical insulating properties. Molded boots are available in bulbous and slim-line shapes and meet requirements for most mass-transit, military and commercial marine applications.

INSTALITE Molded Boots
Instalite
Light Weight Molded Boot
Instalite boots are a lighter weight alternative of our -25 heat-shrink boots. Utilizing our expertise in fluid-resistant, modified elastomers. We have created semi-rigid, abrasion-resistant boots that are up to 30% lighter than our standard -25 boots. Instalite boots offer the same balance of high-temperature fluid resistance and long-term heat resistance.
