Applications
Connect It
Raychem electrical interconnect products offer reliable, more cost-effective alternatives to traditional
connection methods—such as hand soldering, or crimping and then insulating by taping or overmolding.
With our electrical interconnect products, you start with
a precisely engineered,
fluxed solder preform inside
a transparent, heat-shrinkable sleeve. When the
product is heated, the
solder preform melts, and
the sleeve shrinks to create
a connection that is fully
insulated and strainrelieved.
This ease of use expands
your options even as it
enhances the quality of your
end product, as in these
applications:
n

In applications where flexibility or flex life are important, Raychem products meet the need—many
performing even at low temperatures.
n
n
NT tubing, which is
widely used for insulation,
strain relief, and abrasion
protection on cable
harnesses and wire
bundles, remains flexible
at low temperatures (as
low as -70°C [-94°])
without cracking.
Hi-Flex heat-shrinkable
tubing was developed
specifically for sealed
cable-jacketing applications where cable flexibility is an important concern.
It is also ideal for situations where the cable is
subject to motion, such
as in industrial machinery,
transportation equipment,
robotics, and welding.

For applications where a
flexible 90° bend right
after the connector is
desired, Uniboot molded
parts can provide the
perfect fit.
DynaLink wire and cable
is designed specifically
for applications where
flex life is critical: in the
robotics industry; in lifts,
typing machines, and
sewer inspection equipment; and on ships where
wire must be capable of
unwinding from a large
cable reel and then
retracting smoothly
without strain.

Harness Design
A Raychem molded part provides strain relief on the back end of a connector.
Tyco Electronics offers a
range of Raychem components for wiring harnesses
and cable assemblies in
commercial, industrial,
automotive, and defense
and allied industries. Our

to widely recognized
standards (UL, CSA, CE,
SAE) and to the military
specifications of various
governments.
A variety of component
material systems can be
used to design a rugged,
reliable, repairable,
shielded, and environmentally sealed harness. We
also offer individual components that can be used
independently to meet a
specific sealing, insulation,
strain relief, protection,
identification, or electrical
interconnection need.

Electrical Interconnection System Design
Harness Design (Continued)
The front or joining end of
the connector is designed
to mate only with a connector having the right configuration. The back end of the
connector is where the
wires are terminated to the
metal contacts.
The checklist on page 2-4
covers some of the factors
to consider in the design of
a harness.
Wires
Harness Components
Connectors and wires are
the two basic components
of a harness that need to be
specified. Once they have
been chosen, compatible
protection, shielding and
identification follow.
Connectors
Connectors come in two
opposite types: plugs and
receptacles. Both contain
contacts, usually made of
plated copper. The
contacts, called pins or
sockets, are joined to the
conductors and are
designed to mate or join
with contacts of the
opposite type.
Connectors for indoor or
internal use are generally
not designed to resist moisture. Connectors that will be
exposed to moisture are
generally sealed to meet a
specific requirement.
In this discussion, a wire is
defined as an insulated
conductor and a cable is
defined as two or more
wires with or without a
common jacket or shield.
Conductors are usually
made from copper.
A copper conductor can be
solid or, when flexibility is
important, can consist of
smaller strands of copper
wire twisted together. The
strands can be coated with
tin, nickel, or silver to make
them easier to terminate or
more resistant to corrosion.
Conductors are sized in
metric units (mm2) or by
AWG (American Wire
Gauge), a holdover from
the days when wire was
made of steel in steel mills.
The AWG refers to the
number of passes it takes to
draw the wire down to the
required size - the larger the
AWG, the smaller the wire.
Making a 26 AWG wire, for
example, requires more
passes through reduction
dies than are required for a
4 AWG wire.

to choose from this catalog
the right components for an
integrated military or highperformance industrial

Protection
Once the connectors and
wires have been specified,
the method of protection
must be considered.
Various jacket materials are
available to protect the
wires and these can be
extruded or heat-shrink.
Jacket material formulations
are compounded to meet a
wide range of environmental
demands.
Similarly, protection for the
wire termination must be
considered. In general, the
wires will be terminated to
connector contacts.
Protection products must
protect the joints from damage caused by mechanical
stress such as flex, torque
and tensile load, and corrosion or electrical breakdown
from fluid ingress, while
retaining the ability to be
repaired. All these influ-
ences and more must be
considered when choosing
the termination protection
method.
Shielding and Shield
Termination
Step 3 of the component
selection process discussed later in this section
gives advice on choosing
the appropriate shielding
products for the gross
shield. Consideration must
also be given to the individual cable shield terminations. Can they be pigtailed
together with a common
termination to a contact or
to earth, or should they have
individual terminations?
If using a solder device, the
correct choice is based,
not only on size, but also
temperature rating or
compatibility with the cable
braid.
Identification
Circuit identification is
important, both in manufacture, where an assembly
operator must ensure
correct wire to contact
termination, and in repair,
where a damaged
connector may need
replacing in difficult
circumstances and contact
positions have to be easily
identified. Individual wire
markers help with these
two circumstances. Where
a cable is severed and
access to the ends is
prevented, unique identification on the wires, or wire
color coding aids repair.
speed up plugging,
particularly for multiconnector harnesses.
It is also good practice to
label the harness with its
part numbers and other
relevant information for
traceability purposes.
The Tyco Electronics
Identification Products
Group offers a variety of
products that are compatible to the HarnWare software design process.
For complete information
regarding these products

Consideration given to the
identification of harness
legs is also important.

Protection of Harness Components
A salt deposit can be seen beneath
the end of this 18-AWG, 19-strand
wire. The other end of the wire has
been immersed in salt water for 24
hours.
Harness components are
vulnerable to corrosion,
stress, strain, and electromagnetic interference
(EMI).
Corrosion
Humidity, moisture, salt, and
corrosive fluids can corrode
conductors and contacts.
What is worse, the corrosion
can take place well beyond
the point of penetration
because of the small tubelike voids—capillaries—
between the individual
strands of copper that make
up the conductor. Called
“capillary action,” the penetration of a fluid can “wick”
many feet in a relatively
short time (see photo
above), depending on the
specific characteristics of
the affected wire. As the
copper in the conductor is
depleted by corrosion, the
conductor can no longer
sustain mechanical or electrical loads and the metal
will fail. Mechanical failure
can thus occur anywhere in
the wiring system.
Even before mechanical
failure occurs, electrical
If a chemical solution
contacting the electrical
connection is itself conductive it can cause a short
circuit between conductors.
Pure water, not itself a
conductor, can also
facilitate a short circuit by
providing a medium into
which conductive salts can
dissolve. These salts may
be the by-products of
corrosion or the result of
earlier contamination.
High humidity and
temperature cycling in
some situations cause
condensation, the accumulation of which can also
result in a short circuit.
Depending on circumstances, the resulting short
circuit may be intermittent,
significantly complicating
the process of identifying
the underlying cause.
To prevent corrosion,
sealing may have to meet
the performance requirements of applicable military
specifications or the
International Protection
(IP) Code.
Stress and Strain
Wires that are attached to
the connector pins need
help to withstand stresses
and strain from the cable,
which could break the wires
from the pins. It is almost
always necessary to prevent strain from occurring in
a weak spot, such as where
the wire is attached to the
contact. This is called strain
relief and can be provided
in a variety of ways, from
mechanical devices, such
as adapters, to molded
boots and heat-shrinkable
tubings.
2
Electrical Interconnection System Design
performance can be
adversely affected by the
presence of nonconductive
by-products from galvanic
or aqueous corrosion.
Moisture within a connector
body may cause an impedance mismatch, increase
noise in a signal circuit, or
modify the waveform. Even
small amounts of corrosion
or other contaminants can
have a significant impact on
contact surfaces and the
efficiency with which signals
flow through them.
EMI (Electromagnetic
Interference)
EMI is similar to the noise
heard on an AM radio when
the radio is close to highvoltage lines. EMI causes
the wire or cable to act like
an antenna and pick up
electrical signals, which
interfere with the signals
on the wire and can cause
malfunctions in sensitive
electronic circuits.
Wiring systems are susceptible to two types of EMI:
n
n
Radiated emissions (the
electromagnetic energy a
wiring system radiates to
its surrounding environment), such as the EMI a
high-voltage line radiates
to its surroundings.
(There are regulations on
the amount of radiated
energy a circuit is allowed
to produce.)
External radiated
emissions (the electromagnetic energy in the
environment), such as the
EMI an AM radio picks up
from a high-voltage line,
causing distortions in the
conducted signal.
Conducted EMI is noise
carried by the cable into
the receiving circuit and
needs to be filtered.
To reduce susceptibility to
radiated emissions from the
cable or from external
sources, the harness must
be grounded, shielded,
and/or filtered, depending
on the sensitivity of the
equipment and the strength
and frequency of the EMI.

Originally developed for
use by our own harness
designers it is now offered
to our customers so they
can benefit from this
powerful tool.
From a simple input of
geometry, dimensions,
connector and wiring
details, HarnWare software
can suggest a design
sequence and help with
many aspects of wiring
harness design (see
diagram).
HarnWare software is used
interactively by harness
design engineers. The
choices and calculations
made by the system can
always be modified to suit
specific requirements.
Design data is saved with
each shape in the harness
drawing. This data can be
reviewed simply by moving
the mouse over the parts
listed in the Design Wizard.
It is, therefore, very easy
to incorporate design
changes, modify design
constraints or analyze
alternative design solutions.
Moreover a design checker
can be used to search

encoded in the HarnWare
software and database. If
the wire selected is a nonpreferred option, alternative
types and colors can be
identified which may also
suit the design requirements and be available on
shorter delivery times.

All the parts in a harness
can be specified. The key
steps in selecting parts
include:
n
n
Clicking a shape in the
harness drawing or the
design wizard.
HarnWare software
automatically obtains
design data and dimensions from the shape and
from mating parts in the
harness assembly drawing. In the case of a
Raychem boot, for example, HarnWare software
extracts the required style
of boot from the shape
and the diameters from
the mating harness leg
and adapter.
n
The database is searched
for parts suited to the
dimensional constraints.
The choice is further
refined by the service
conditions which determine the best materials,
finishes and adhesives.
When alternative parts
are found in the database, HarnWare software
offers the best option first,
which the designer can
compare with the other
alternatives. The on-line
help systems contain
details and advice on the
various types of parts,
materials and finishes
and their suitability to different service conditions.
Among the parts that
HarnWare software helps
to select are:
n Adapters
n Braid
n Connectors
n Databus couplers, etc.
n Feedthroughs
n Heat-shrinkable tubing
n Marker sleeves*
n Molded parts
n Adhesives

Raychem integrated
harness systems have been
developed for a wide range
of defense and industrial
applications. Each system
consists of compatible
components, including
cable jackets, heatshrinkable components,
and adhesives. Performance of these parts is
assured because all
components are tested
separately and as part of
an assembled system
(see photo top left).
1. Primary wire and cable
2. Heat-shrinkable tubing
3. Backshell adapter
4. Molded part
5. Adhesive
6. Cable jacket
7. Marker sleeve*

Step 3. Determine the
Level of EMI Shielding
Required.
Tyco Electronics offer
several methods and
technologies for controlling
electromagnetic interference (EMI) and noise in
cable harnesses. Developed
in response to well-established threats in military and
other harsh environments,
these technologies can be
employed in compatible
shielding (screening)
systems to achieve the level
of shielding required for a
harness system. Table 5 on
page 2-22 outlines the
shielding requirements for
various types of threat and
levels of interference.
Introduction
This section is intended as a
guide for the use of harness
designers who are required
to achieve a level of EMI
control in their design practices. It is not intended that
it should be a definitive
statement on all aspects of
EMI control for harnesses.
In case of difficulty contact
us for further clarification or
consultancy.
For well-designed EMI
control of electrical systems
it is essential that a detailed
knowledge of the system
requirements and susceptibility be obtained. The
chosen level of shielding
will be dependent on the:
n
n
n
n
n
Susceptibility of electrical
system.
For the most cost effective
design of harnesses, which
offer a long-term stability in
performance, the system
should be designed to
achieve a balance of component characteristics.
Components should only
be used if they are qualified
to a minimum level of EMI
performance and the performance and test method
should be applicable to
the design technique
being used.
For quality assurance
purposes minimum EMI
characteristics should
always be specified and
for critical harnesses the
complete performance
should be measured. The
technique to be adopted
should always be specified.
Finally the inter-relationship
between harnesses and the
protection, termination and
grounding of equipment
boxes is vital for good system performance against
EMI. All components form
part of the external shield
on the system and therefore
should be considered in the
overall EMI design process.

Harness Types
Harnesses are divided into
two types, point-to-point
and branched. The advantages and disadvantages of
each from an EMI control
standpoint are described
below. No attempt has been
made to analyze their relative merits in mechanical or
installation terms.
Point To Point:
The three major components of this type of harness
are: connectors, cable, and
connector accessories.
Connectors
There are many different
types of circular military
connectors. However, for a
well-shielded harness only
those connectors having a
guaranteed performance
level should be used e.g.
MIL-C-26482 Series II and
MIL-C-38999 series 1 and
2, and series 3 and 4.
Cable
Cable used in this type
of harness is generally
machine made. Hand laid
cables may also be used
but generally the shields
incorporated in these
harnesses vary in consistency of performance. In
the case of machine made
cables all shields should be
designed for optimum
shielding effectiveness at
radio frequency.

Transitions
Connector accessories,
such as Raychem adapters,
are available in many styles
and therefore their performance varies with construction. For a level of consistency in performance it
is essential that, as with
connectors, a guarantee
in performance level be
achieved. Fittings not specified in this way may significantly degrade the overall
system performance.
Transitions, as with accessories, are very susceptible
to performance variability
with construction type.
Branched
In addition to those components described above,
branched harnesses
include transitions. This
type of harness is usually
made by hand and it is
therefore difficult to incorporate accurately made
machine fabricated shields.
The implications of this are:
Shields
Cable shields may be put
on by hand or by feeding
through a braiding machine.
However, as braid optimization depends on all the constructional parameters of
the braid being accurately
specified, unless braid is
well constructed the shielding performance can suffer
dramatically. Reductions in
shield performance of 20-40
dB have been measured on
badly made branched harnesses. The alternative
method is to use pull on
braids. If the cable bundle
diameter is known the braid
may be designed for optimized performance.
For high performance harnesses these components
should also have a guaranteed performance.
In general the use of techniques such as hand soldering or the use of butted
tape wraps are not recommended except where only
a low performance of less
that 40dB is required.
Shield performance is
specified in two ways,
either as a power relationship in decibels (dB) or as
an absolute measurement
of the shield performance in
terms of the surface transfer
impedance. Except for very
specific low frequency
problems it is general to
specify the performance at
frequencies in the range
0.1MHz to 100MHz.

To specify the overall
requirements of a complete
electronic system in terms
of its EMI characteristics it
is necessary to consider the
performance of the individual components parts. The
harnesses form one of the
major entry points for interference and this as such
can degrade a complete
system performance by a
significant amount. In general terms, assuming that a

used, with the available

Safety Margins
Connectors
As with all designs EMI system design should not be
performed to the “limit of
performance safety margin
should always be incorporated when determining the
minimum shielding level
appropriate for consistent
operation of the system.
A study of those connector
specifications having an
EMI test shows that they are
generally specified in the
frequency band 100MHz to
1GHz. For an assessment at
lower frequencies the low
frequency performance
as dictated by the d.c.
resistance of the connector
is required. These two
parameters enable the EMI
characteristic to be made
of the complete connector
performance. Typical values
for standard connectors are
65dB (MIL-C-26482 Series II)
and 90dB (MIL-C-38999
Series III) connectors.
The inter-relationship of
shielding effectiveness
measured in decibels and
the surface transfer impedance in ohms presents the
designer with a conversion
difficulty. External harness
circuits vary, as do the coupling characteristics and it
is therefore only possible to
give an approximate conversion. The normal conversion from decibels to ohms
and vice versa is to a reasonable approximation:
Screening Effectiveness
(dB) = 36 – 20 log 10 (ZT (Ohms))
The constant term is developed from the expressions
for the characteristic impedance of the line formed by
the harness shield and the
ground plane and the internal characteristic impedance of the inside of the
harness. The translation
from shielding effectiveness
to surface transfer impedance is shown below in
Table 5 for S.E. from 20 to
105dB.

Connector Accessories and
Transitions
In constructional terms the
performance of the connector accessory includes both
the resistive terminations to
the cable shield and the
connector. However, it is
most unusual to specify
the performance of an
accessory and this is a
distinct weakness in the
design of harnesses. The
reason is that the performance is extremely variable
as accessories have to fit a
variety of different cable
sizes and shapes. Where
specified at all the relationship between the test
method and the coupling
mechanism for the EMI
must be considered.

In accordance with most

the shielding performance
of a cable is specified at
30MHz. It is also well into
the band where inductive
leakage is the primary penetration characteristic. For
frequencies above or below

for connectors, must be
made. It should be noted
that the performance specified at 30MHz in Table 6 for

Complete Harness
When considering the complete harness the coupling
calculations are relatively
simple. In general terms
they are the addition of all
the individual leakages
within the system from
connector to connector. The
analysis route is therefore
as follows:
1. Convert all decibel
values at the desired
frequency to surface
transfer impedance.
2. Choose components for
a ‘balanced’ system, i.e.
the components should
have approximately the
same performance.
3. Add the values determined for surface
transfer impedance of
the components at the
frequency chosen.
4. Reconvert to decibels if
necessary. (Table 5 can
be used for this purpose)
As a guide to the shielding
performance that can be
expected from a harness
that is constructed using
Raychem components,
Table 7 on the next page
has been compiled to help
in the product selection
process.
For branched harnesses it
is necessary to determine
whether every branch has
the same susceptibility
requirements or carries the
same signals of power. The
performance requirement
of each branch is then
determined and the matrix
for the harness established.
This is a more complex
subject and not discussed
here. System improvements
may be achieved by changing either the connectors or
cable. In general terms
changing from a single to a
double optimized braid
improves the performance
of that component by 20-25
dB. A similar advantage is
achieved by changing from
MIL-C-26482 Series II to
MIL-C-38999 Series I
connectors. However, the
relative significance, as
part of the system, of each
component must be considered to determine the true
weighting effect. For the
optimum in system design
a balance of component
performances should be
achieved wherever possible
such that each of the
components is of similar
performance level.
General Considerations
Although cables and harnesses are considered to
be the most significant in
terms of coupling into systems the construction of
equipment boxes can play
an important part in the
overall EMI performance of
a system. With the increasing use of high speed digital
circuits and the generation of
harmonics having high
energy content relatively
short printed circuit board
tracks can radiate or pick
up energy as efficiently as
cables. If the boxes themselves are not adequately
protected these circuits
may constitute an EMI
threat. There is a further
area of significance in the
EMI protection of the boxes
and this is the connector/
box interface. The junction
may be considered to be a
part of the harness system
and any degradation in it
may cause an overall
harness degradation.

Applications
Building on over 20 years of
experience and continuous
improvement in data bus,
including pioneering
in-line microcouplers,
Tyco Electronics introduces
a new family of ultra lightweight In-line Raychem
Microcouplers, available in
1- through 6-stub
configurations.
These couplers offer the
same high performance
and reliability as Raychem
current microcouplers, but
their weight is further
reduced. They are available
in configurations up to 6stub, and minimize weight
there is no option with a
mounting eyelet.
Combined with Raychem
24 AWG data bus cables,
these ultra light couplers
allow designers to significantly reduce weight. An
unfilled flat braid cable is
available for additional
weight savings.
They are also available
assembled with other
customer specified components into a complete
factory-built and tested
data bus harness.

High Performance Wire and Cable
SPEC 44 (Continued)
Physical Characteristics
Small Size
General Handling
Lengths
SPEC 44 equipment wire,
600 volt rated has a 0.19
[.008] nominal wall thickness compared to 0.25
[.010] and 0.38 [.015] for
equivalent PTFE and PVC
wires in MIL-W-16878, MILW-22759 or BS G210.
The flexibility of SPEC 44
and the ease with which it
takes a 'set' makes it one of
the easiest of the 'high
performance' wires to
install. Stripping is done
with conventional die blade
strippers.
SPEC 44 is available in long
continuous lengths and can
be supplied for use on automatic cut and strip wire
preparation machines.
Light Weight
For details of appropriate
tools see separate wire handling guide. The tin-plated
conductor usually specified
is easily soldered or
crimped. The insulation may
be hot stamp marked or
printed and does not need
etching before potting.
Because of the thin wall and
low density of the insulation
materials considerable
weight savings are made
over similarly rated PTFE
wires, eg:- 44A0111-22AWG
equipment wire 4.62

Insulation System
Applications
SPEC 55 wire is insulated
with modified radiation
cross-linked ETFE polymer.
It has a temperature rating
of -65°C to 200°C [-85°F to
392°F] continuous using a
silver plated copper conductor, and combines the
easy handling of a flexible
wire with excellent scrape
abrasion and cut-through
characteristics.
Available in:
Americas
Europe
Asia Pacific

The dual wall airframe construction of SPEC 55 wire is
currently used on numerous
aircraft programs. It has a
choice of two total wall
thicknesses, 0.25 [.010]
(55A08XX 10 mil) and 0.2
[.008] (55A02XX 8 mil).
Both have a contrasting
core color to act as a damage indicator. Chosen for its
balance of properties,
SPEC 55 wire has outstanding resistance to chemicals
and solvents, excellent
electrical arc track resistance, and is not susceptible
to UV and moisture degradation. Single wall equipment wire constructions
are available in 0.10 [.004]
(55/03XX 4 mil) and 0.15
[.006] (6 mil) wall thicknesses
for use inside black boxes
where flexibility and solderiron resistance make it a
wire which is very easy to
install reliably.
Both single and dual wall
insulated wires are available
in twisted pairs, triples, etc.,
and as shielded and jacketed cables.
Physical Characteristics
Size and Weight
SPEC 55 wire provides one
of the most comprehensive
wiring product ranges for
aerospace users, with a
wide choice of conductor
sizes and insulation wall
thicknesses.The dual wall
airframe wire has an insulation wall thickness of either
0.2 [.008] or 0.25 [.010] for
robustness in unprotected
harnesses and has excellent wire to wire abrasion
properties.
The single wall equipment
wire has a 0.15 [.006] wall
thickness for use inside
equipment and protected
harnesses. For high density,
interconnect wiring, the 450
volt 55M041X series of
equipment wire has a nominal 0.1 [.004] wall and provides considerable weight
and size savings over other
comparable wires.
This product was originally
developed to meet Boeing’s
material standard BMS1348 for the 777 airliner.
SPEC 55PC provides lightweight, compact insulation
that matches the proven
performance of our
SPEC 55 wire. Today, 55PC
is specified and utilized on
the majority of aerospace
platforms worldwide.
Tyco Electronics’ rigorous,
statistical-process-controlled manufacturing has
produced Raychem wiring
that is rugged and versatile
enough for a wide range of
commercial and defense
aerospace applications,
including electronic hookups in harsh, open airframe
environments.
SPEC 55PC wire and cable
systems feature an 8-mil airframe wire that is lighter and
smaller than typical 10-mil
wire, with little reduction in
key mechanical performance features. SPEC 55PC
wire offers flame resistance
superior to FAA standards
and also resists scrape
abrasion, notch, propagation, cut-through, and
electrical arc tracking.

Handling
The excellent flexibility
and handleability makes
SPEC 55 the ideal wire to
install, both in new aircraft
and equipment and for
maintenance purposes. The
wire is easily stripped with
conventional tooling. The
insulation is readily marked
