TE Connectivity Introduces Instalite Braid

July 28, 2015

TE Connectivity (TE) announced its new Raychem Instalite lightweight braid system that offers up to 50 percent weight savings over traditional copper braids. Made from a nickel-plated copper alloy, the RoHS-compliant pull-on braid provides low-frequency performance. 

“Electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection is an ever-increasing requirement in the aerospace industry, especially as system functionality is increasing with higher signal speeds,” said Doug Jones, product manager, global aerospace, defense and marine, TE. “The Instalite lightweight braid has the ability to save weight while providing a high level of EMI screening across a wide frequency range. Its economical price makes it an attractive option for designers.”
