Teledyne Reynolds, Inc. (TRI) specializes in wire and cable for the Defense, Medical, Instrumentation, and Aerospace industries, designed for reliable operation at voltages up to 120 kVDC. With over six decades of experience, TRI produces superior products and focuses on designing high-performance cables that are lighter, smaller, and more flexible.
Wire products are used in HV Power Supplies, RADAR/LIDAR, Satellite Propulsion, Photomultiplier Tubes, High Energy Physics, Ordinance Systems, CRTs, Magnetrons, TWTs, Klystrons, Electronic Countermeasures, and Lasers.
Founded in 1948, Teledyne Reynolds expanded from a precision machine shop to high voltage connectors and cable assemblies in the 1960s, now including four U.S. product divisions and subsidiaries in Great Britain and Wales.
Products include high voltage connectors and cable assemblies, hybrid multi-pin connectors, instrumentation and control cable assemblies, ceramic-to-metal brazed connectors, high current vacuum switches, over voltage gas discharge tubes, high voltage capacitors, and LED aircraft lighting products.
Specifications for cable conductor sizes, stranding, and current ratings are provided, emphasizing the importance of selecting the appropriate conductor for specific applications.
Properties of insulation and jacket materials like FEP, PFA, PTFE, ETFE, and Silicone Rubber are outlined, highlighting their features and suitability for high voltage applications.
Specialized products like Micro FlexTM, Quiet LineTM, Semi/ConTM, and Hi/PureTM are designed for specific high-performance applications, such as reducing partial discharges or enhancing flexibility.
This option provides ultra-pure high voltage wires for high vacuum applications, with rigorous testing to ensure reliability in low pressure environments.
Designed to reduce electrical stress and improve reliability in high voltage applications, with a comparison of electrical stress between standard coax wire and Semi/ConTM wire.
To prevent dielectric failure, select wires with a higher operating temperature range and voltage rating than the expected environment. Connector insulation and assembly techniques are crucial for reliability, with unique fabrication methods and verification testing under aerospace conditions.
All products undergo a dielectric strength test, applying a voltage greater than the operating voltage, ensuring reliability across different altitudes and temperatures.
Concerns about corona should be addressed with Teledyne Reynolds' Engineering Department, known for expertise in corona detection and manufacturing products resistant to corona effects.
For FEP, PFA, and silicone rubber wires, the recommended operating temperature is -55° to 125°C, with testing available for reliability outside this range.
Avoid sharp bends to prevent stress and corona points, with bend radius formulas provided for different cable conditions.
A proprietary process for etching or coating FEP and PFA wires enables bonding with silicone rubber or epoxy materials, enhancing versatility for high voltage applications.
Products for space applications undergo stringent cleaning and testing, meeting outgassing requirements and offering Red Plague resistant conductors upon request.
Silicone rubber cables are incompatible with certain dielectric oils, which can cause swelling. Uncoated FEP or PFA cables are recommended in such environments.
Quiet Line™ cables are manufactured for RF attenuation, with engineers available for consultation.
Semi/Con™ cables offer resistance to electrical stress and minimal corona at rated voltage, eliminating air voids and distributing the electrostatic field evenly.
Various materials are compared for properties like dielectric strength, flexibility, and temperature range, with Teflon® noted for specific advantages.
- Flexible and lightweight design suitable for up to 18 kVDC operation.
- PFA insulation provides durability and reliability.
- Non-combustible with a low smoke rating.
- Operates in temperatures ranging from -55°C to 125°C.
Wires have undergone various tests according to MIL-W-22759 guidelines, including wrap test, life cycle, low temperature, insulation resistance, bend test, thermal shock, blocking, dielectric test, and humidity.
Used in helmet-mounted display CRT cabling, helmet tracker cabling, ejection safe quick disconnect connector cabling, transformer winding, communication cabling, high vibration aircraft cabling, medical instrumentation cabling, and flight line or automotive test equipment cabling.
Lists part numbers with specifications such as operating voltage, conductor plating, conductor diameter, and diameter over silicone coating.
- Silicone coated FEP wire attributes include a uniform silicone rubber coating for superior dielectric bonding.
- High voltage coaxial/shielded cables are used in military and industrial applications, with specific cables designed for controlled impedance, inductance, and capacitance.
Products are available in various colors, specified by adding a numeric designation to the part number.
- Pre-conditioning of wires is recommended to prevent shrinkage during temperature cycling.
Emphasizes the importance of contacting Teledyne Reynolds’ Engineering for custom designs and the most up-to-date product information.
