Product catalog summary
Overview: This document serves as a detailed guide to Alpha Wire's hook-up wires, designed for diverse applications ranging from control cabinets to high-temperature settings. The wires come in various insulations tailored to specific temperature, mechanical, and environmental needs.
Specifications: The hook-up wires feature both stranded and solid copper conductors, available in bare or tinned forms, with additional platings for specialized uses. They adhere to UL, CSA, and military specifications and are offered in lengths starting from 100 feet.
Insulation Options: The document outlines several insulation materials, each with distinct temperature ranges and characteristics:
  • PVC: Suitable for -55°C to +105°C, offering general-purpose use with good abrasion and flame resistance.
  • XL-PVC: Provides enhanced abrasion and temperature resistance, ideal for high-density wiring.
  • PTFE: Operates from -55°C to +200°C, known for high temperature tolerance, chemical inertness, and excellent electrical properties.
  • XLPE: Rated for -55°C to +125°C, offering a higher temperature rating than PVC.
  • Silicone: Suitable for -40°C to +150°C, known for high-voltage applications with excellent flexibility and dielectric strength.
  • PDVF: Operates from -40°C to +125°C, used in wire wrap applications.
  • MG (Mica Glass): Suitable for +450°C, designed for high-temperature applications like kilns and furnaces.
  • mPPE: Rated for -40°C to +105°C, environmentally friendly, lighter, and more durable than PVC.
Applications and Approvals: The document provides details on wire options based on voltage, insulation, and approvals, including UL, CSA, and military standards, covering a range of applications from general use to military and high-temperature environments.
EcoWire and EcoWire Plus: Part of the EcoGen family, these wires offer enhanced performance with reduced environmental impact. They are up to 45% smaller in diameter and 40% lighter than PVC wires, non-halogenated, and fully recyclable.
Availability: The wires are available in various lengths, including bulk options for high-volume needs, with a variety of color-coded insulations for easy circuit identification.
