Product Information

Specification

16 AWG 26 Strands MTW UL 1015 Tinned Copper Machine Tool Wire

Applications:

The lead hook up wire is an electrical wire developed for use in the internal wiring for electrical appliances and equipment, serving both in the indoor and outdoor applications in the domestic set up. Due to its exceptional electrical conductivity, the cable is also used in the panels and meters internal wiring, as well as point to point wiring. The lead wire is flame retardant and has a high temperature rating of about 105ºC (at 600V/1000V), which implies that this electrical cable can work efficiently in harsh climatic conditions.

Construction

Conductors:

This hook up wire conductor is made up of copper wire. It comes in two different conductor types; stranded or solid. Some of the conductors are bare while others are tinned. Since copper is highly reactive, it is appropriate to use tinned copper wire in areas where there are more chemical reactions. Stranded conductor serves you right in applications which need more flexibility while solid wire is good for systems where cable strength is top requirement.

Insulation:

The hook up cable has a color-coded Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) material that serves as the insulation material for the MTW-UL 1015 stranded tinned copper hook up wire. This PVC has ultra-high strength and durability, providing reliable security to the conductors.
