Seal connectors against moisture and corrosion
Rayolon sealing sleeve is a re-usable, heavy-duty sleeve that offers the solution for sealing connectors and splices against moisture and corrosion
The rugged Raychem QFT kit comprises a high shrink ratio moulded sleeve, lined with hot melt adhesive, together with division clips, which are simply crimped into place, to configure the required geometry.
When shrunk down to create the transition or breakout, QFT has a low profile and simultaneously applies effective electrical insulation, mechanical protection and a permanent seal against moisture or chemical ingress.
It is easy to prepare, quick to install with a shrink temperature of just 60C and has an operating temperature range of -20 to +70C.
The special crimps allow it to be employed for 1:2, 1:3 and even 1:4 transitions and, because it has a high shrink ratio, almost any common transition requirement can be met from just three product sizes.
QFT configurable transitions are ideal for a wide variety of applications, from commercial vehicle manufacturing through to the IT network cabling in buildings.
They offer electrical contractors and design engineers a better cable management solution. Request a free brochure from Tyco Electronics - Wire, Harness and Protection ...
