Metal and Composite Piggyback Boot. Connector backshell and heat shrink boot assemblies. Heat shrink boot is pre-positioned and partially recovered onto the backshell / adapter. Piggyback boots improve boot sealing performance and reduce assembly time.
The recovery of shrink boots for environmental sealing and strain on all — land or air — vehicle interconnect cabling is a critical final step in the cable harness assembly process. This time-consuming task relies on each individual technician to correctly position and shrink boots on each of the many connectors found on the aircraft. Glenair composite or metal piggyback shrink boot connector adapters take all of the guesswork out of this time-consuming assembly task. Partially recovered boots, pre-attached to composite or metal adapters, take less than half the time to shrink in place, and are exactingly pre-positioned for optimal sealing and strain relief each and every time the task is completed.
Glenair PALS Approved Interconnect Technologies reduce assembly process-time and skilled labor requirements in EWIS applications.
