TE Connectivity Products Industries & Solutions Resources Sign In FAMILIES TE CONNECTIVITY (TE) TE's RAYCHEM OVERVIEW PRODUCTS (24,296) THE POWER OF A NAME For almost 60 years TE's Raychem has been synonymous with reliability in extreme environments and conditions. This family of products has been a global leader in material science, engineering, and manufacturing. TE's Raychem, originally located in Menlo Park, California, was the first company to develop products using the new area of science called "radiation chemistry". The founder, electrical engineer Paul Cook discovered the process of crosslinking would allow the material to be heated, expanded and cooled, and then be reheated to it's original size for superior insulation and protection.Resulting in the introduction of heat shrink tubing. A multitude of Raychem products were then engineered and produced to perfom in the field for 30 years and counting. Among TE's many offerings in the Raychem family of products in our line of heat shrink tubing. Inside TE's testing facility. Paul Cook, TE's Raychem founder.
