The document introduces irradiated PVC insulated hook-up wire, which has superior insulation properties compared to ordinary PVC. The irradiated PVC can withstand higher temperatures and solder iron heat, making it ideal for high reliability and high-density system wiring. The irradiated PVC insulation is tougher and provides improved abrasion and cut-through resistance.
Alpha provides MIL‑W‑16878E irradiated PVC insulated hook‑up wire in Type B (600 V MIL, 150 V UL/CSA) and Type C (1000 V MIL, 300 V UL/CSA). The in‑radiated PVC insulation resists solder‑iron heat, offers higher temperature tolerance, improved abrasion resistance, and superior cut‑through performance, making it suitable for high‑reliability, high‑density wiring.
The wire features stranded tinned copper conductors, color‑coded XLPVC insulation, and complies with UL, CSA and MIL standards as well as RoHS. Part numbers, AWG sizes, strand counts, dimensions and color codes are listed, with availability in 100 ft (30.5 m) and 1000 ft (305 m) spools. Contact information and a color chart are included for ordering.
