Thermosets are curable two-part epoxies or crosslinked elastomers. Thermoplastics are hot-melt adhesives that flow when heated and set when cooled. They reflow when reheated to simplify component repair. Tyco Electronics also manufactures Raychem products that include a thermoplastic adhesive or a mastic-type sealant for water holdout applications. The sealants adhere to nonoily substrates and can be removed where reentry is necessary. 5 Adhesives Selection Guide To determine the adhesive or sealant most compatible with a Raychem part, you must know the part’s product type. Use the Adhesive/Sealant Selection Table on page 5-4 to determine a Raychem part’s product type and the adhesive/sealant compatible with that type. Note: Users should independently evaluate the suitability of the product for their application. Before ordering, check with Tyco Electronics for most current data. Use the Adhesive/Sealant Product Characteristics Table (pages 5-2 and 5-3) to be sure the adhesive or sealant has the product characteristics your application requires. To use the Selection Table, follow these four steps: 1. Under “Substrate Category,” find the product material and product name/part number for the Raychem part. 4. See the Adhesive/ Sealant Product Characteristics Table to verify the characteristics of the adhesive/sealant you selected. 2. Across the top of the table, find the part’s product type and dash number. 3. At the intersection of the substrate category (product material/name/part number) and the product type (by designated dash number) you will find the part number for the most compatible adhesive for the Raychem part. 5-1 Catalog 1654025 Revised 12-04 www.tycoelectronics.com Dimensions are in millimeters and inches unless otherwise specified.

Following are two preparation procedures. The first applies to plated metals and adapters; the second applies to polymer molded parts, cable jackets, and tubing materials. Plated Metals and Adapters Thoroughly degrease the surface with a clean cloth or paper wipe dampened with a solvent. The cloth or paper should not be saturated with the solvent. Allow the part to stand for a minute or two to allow complete evaporation of the solvent. Carefully and evenly abrade the surface with #320 emery cloth. Wipe contaminants and abraded particles away with a clean cloth or paper wipe dampened with a solvent. The cloth or paper should not be saturated with the solvent. Allow the part to stand for a minute or two to allow complete evaporation of the solvent. Note: n Avoid contamination of the prepared surface. If using primer, apply it according to the manufacturer’s instructions and allow it to dry. n Epoxy adhesives may cause skin and eye irritation. Be sure to observe the handling instructions. n When using hot-melt adhesives on substrates with high heat-sink capacity (such as connector backshells), preheat the substrate until it is hot to touch, then apply the adhesive tape and shrink the molded part in place. The use of cleaning solvent is described in the preparation of various components for adhesive bonding. Please observe the solvent manufacturer’s safety recommendations. Several Raychem epoxy adhesives and solvent base primers are also described in some cases. For specific handling precautions, please consult the appropriate Raychem material safety data sheet for the adhesive being used. Installation Procedures The three sets of installation instructions that follow are based on the type and/or form of adhesive or sealant to be used. Select the set of instructions that applies to your application. Tape Adhesives and Sealants Connector Boot 1. Degrease the area of the adapter to which the boot will be bonded, using appropriate solvent on a paper tissue or clean cloth. Do not abrade the adapter. 2. Lightly abrade the bonding area of the cable jacket with #320 emery cloth, then wipe off loose particles with a tissue or clean cloth dampened with a solvent. 3. Lightly abrade and wipe 25.4 [1.0] back inside each end of the boot. 4. When using primer, apply a thin, uniform coating to the bonding surface and let it air dry (15–20 minutes). 5. Double-wrap the adhesive tape around the cleaned area of the adapter, placing slight tension on the tape as you wrap. Tack the ends in place with a soldering iron or hot tool. 6. Double-wrap adhesive tape around the cable jacket where the end of the boot is to be located. 7. Position the boot on the adapter and the cable. Apply heat, starting at the connector end. 8. Recover the connector end of the boot onto the adapter and continue heating until the area is fully recovered and the adhesive tape is properly melted. 9. Complete the recovery of the boot, continuing toward the cable end. Heat the cable end of the boot where the adhesive is placed, until the part is fully recovered and the tape has properly melted or flowed. The tape should appear wet, form a bead or fillet between the cable and boot, and show no definition between the layers of tape. 5 Adhesives Molded Parts, Cable Jackets, and Tubing Materials Caution: 10. Where oven curing is required to complete adhesive bonding, heat the assembled harness in a preheated oven according to the following schedule: S-1255-02: 2 hours at 155°C [311°F] S-1124: 90 minutes at 150°C [302°F] Transition 1. Lightly abrade the bonding area of the cable jacket with #320 emery cloth, then wipe off loose particles with a tissue or clean cloth dampened with a solvent. 2. Abrade and wipe the inside of each transition opening. 3. When using primer, apply a thin, uniform coating to the bonding surface and let it air dry (15–20 minutes). 5-5 Catalog 1654025 Revised 12-04 www.tycoelectronics.com Dimensions are in millimeters and inches unless otherwise specified.

Double-wrap the tape around the abraded areas of the cable, placing slight tension on the tape as you wrap. Tack the ends in place with a soldering iron or hot tool. 5. Center the molded part over the transition area. When properly positioned, the part should not fit tightly in the “branched” area of the breakout. A tight fit may cause the part to crease or wrinkle as it recovers. The tape should extend slightly beyond the end of the transition. 6. Apply heat to the center of the transition. Recover one leg of the transition, moving heat from the center of the transition to the adhesive opening of the leg. Repeat the procedure on each leg of the transition. 7. Continue heating each end of the transition until the part is fully recovered and the adhesive tape has properly melted or flowed. The tape should now appear wet, form a bead or fillet between the cable and transition, and show no definition between the layers of tape. Thermosets Transition Connector Boot 1.
