222D285-4-32-0

Overview

The TE Connectivity 222D285-4-32-0 is a Thermofit 222D series heat shrink boot designed for circular connectors. It features a 90-degree angled configuration and is specified for Shell Size Insert 85. The component is manufactured in black color and constructed from materials that provide flame retardant, fluid resistant, and heat resistant properties. Key functional attributes include an integrated lip design and the inclusion of both potting (injection) ports and vent ports to facilitate secure sealing and pressure management during assembly.

Feature Summary

• Angled 90-degree boot geometry for directional cable routing
• Integrated lip structure for enhanced environmental sealing
• Dual port configuration supporting injection potting and ventilation

Applications

• Military aerospace connector assemblies
• Defense marine shipbuilding interconnects
• Harsh environment electronic system protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific shell size insert requirement (Insert 85) against the mating connector datasheet to ensure mechanical compatibility. Confirm that the material specifications meet the required flame retardant and fluid resistance standards for the target operational environment. Ensure the 90-degree orientation aligns with the physical layout constraints of the enclosure or panel mount application.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a directional 90-degree strain relief and environmental seal is required for large circular connectors. The presence of potting and vent ports makes it suitable for applications requiring conformal coating injection or pressure equalization. Verify that the ambient temperature range does not exceed the thermal limits of the heat shrink material.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Thermofit 222D series, which provides ruggedized interconnect solutions for the Aerospace, Defense, and Marine sectors. These boots are engineered to withstand harsh conditions, offering protection against fluids, heat, and flames while maintaining reliable electrical isolation and mechanical stability in mission-critical systems.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference M39016-6-109L as a potential equivalent specification. Verify dimensional compatibility with Shell Size Insert 85 before substitution.
