CABLE CHARACTERISTICS :

VOLTAGE RATING: 1000 V rms

TEMPERATURE RATING: -75°°C to +190°°C for SILVER plated copper conductors

-75°°C to +260°°C for NICKEL plated copper conductors

PTFE is unaffected by oils, lubricants, hydraulic fluids and aircraft fuel. The material is non flammable, resistant to
solder iron damage and is highly flexible. Although widely used for high performance aerospace applications, PTFE
wires are used in environments where the demands, whether thermal, electrical or mechanical, are severe.
Available in 11 basic colours Black, Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Grey, White, Pink
(plus natural) along with bi- and tri- colour combinations.
PTFE Insulation is applied either by extrusion, or by spiral lapping and sintering.

All extruded wire sizes/colours are RoHS compliant
