Molded Parts
Applications
TE molded parts in -3
material are designed for
use in general harnessing
applications where tough-
ness is required and
systems are occasionally
exposed to fluids or heat.
The adhesive-lined parts
provide excellent sealing
and strain relief at connec-
tor-cable terminations and
transitions. A wide range of
shapes are available in this
material. The standard color
is black.
Installation
-3 molded parts will shrink
on the application of heat
above 125°C [257°F].
Recommended installation
temperature: 150°C [302°F]
Operating Temperature Range
-55°C to 135°C
[-67°F to 275°F]
