Specialist connector distributor Lane Electronics, are a stocking distributor for the HellermannTyton range of high-quality heat shrink boots, shapes, tubing and adhesives for connectors and cable assemblies. Used to protect and provide insulation in many electrical and electronic applications, the components are found in a wide range of industries such as Aerospace, Defence, Automotive, Electrical and Electronics, Rail, Renewable Energy as well as Agricultural and Construction vehicles.

The moulded shapes are available as individual components, with adhesive lined and plain shapes held in stock, or as part of a complete connector solution assembled to order by Lane Electronics’ sister company Weald Electronics.

Heat-shrink boots are essential for providing dependable, leak-proof seals on connectors and cable assemblies, provide strain relief and ensuring connector solutions are fully protected for the environment they operate in. HellermannTyton heat shrink boots have all the advantages of quick and simple installation combined with high electric strength, mechanical toughness and superior chemical and environmental resistance.

In addition to connector boots, heat shrink moulded shapes such as transition shapes, breakout / multi-leg shapes and end caps are used to protect cable harness junctions and complex assemblies.  All HellermannTyton heat shrink products combine easy installation with high electrical strength, mechanical durability, flame retardancy (LSZH options), and superior chemical resistance, making them ideal for harsh operating environments.

Main Features include:

• Heat-shrinkable strain-relieving boots for connector backshell to cable transitions.
• Specialised shapes available in a wide range of sizes, materials and adhesive options
• Ultra compact size 01 heat shrink boots for Autosport / Motorsport connectors available exclusively from Lane Electronics / Lane Motorsport
• Heat-shrinkable SE28 2:1 series tubing available in several sizes from 3.2-1.6 to 101.5/51.0. High performance elastomeric heatshrink tubing resistant to fuel and most fluids used in motorsport.

Lane Electronics stocks a wide selection of industry-proven HellermannTyton moulded shapes, including:

• 150 Series – bottle-shaped, straight heat shrink boots with rib (VG style), ideal for strain relief and sealing
• 1100 Series – 90 degree / right-angle boots with rib (VG style), designed for compact harness routing
• 100 Series – straight, bottle-shaped boots with rib (MIL style), suitable for aerospace and defence applications

HellermannTyton moulded shapes are widely recognised as equivalents to TE Connectivity Raychem heat shrink boots, which are commonly specified in aerospace and defence applications. To simplify sourcing and specification, Lane Electronics provides a dedicated cross-reference tool that allows customers to quickly convert Raychem part numbers to HellermannTyton equivalents. Popular Raychem references include 202K, 222K and 222D boots

HellermannTyton SE28 Series heat-shrink tubing is being increasingly specified by designers across the higher-performance sectors. This heat shrink tubing is designed to protect cable and cable harnesses from mechanical damage such as abrasion. It also resists a wide range of destructive fluids including diesel and aviation fuels as well as those found in hydraulic systems. SE28 tubing is made from cross linked elastomer and has a very wide operating temperature range of -75ºC up to +150ºC.
