Specification

12 AWG HOOK-UP LEAD EPDM UL 3340/3374 TINNED COPPER WIRE

Applications:

The lead hook up wire is an electrical wire developed for use with high temperatures. The maximum temperature is 125°C (flex) or 150°C (no flex) for continuous use at 600V for UL style and 125°C at 600V for CSA style. If you are looking where to buy hook up wire as your electrical cable of choice, Nassau National Cable is among the leading lead wire suppliers with a wide hook up wire assortment.

Construction

Conductors:

This lead wire conductor is a stranded tinned copper conductor. The size of the conductor dictates the application and the type of installation the cable will use, as well as its totaling weight; the bigger the conductor the higher the electrical resistivity. Copper has good electrical properties, which improve the voltage distribution of the hook up, as it will not succumb to deformations. 

The cable is also tinned for maximum performance. Tinning reduces friction build up as it makes the surface of the conductors smoother. This offers a free strip from the insulation, reducing the termination time during installation.

Insulation:

The hook up cable has a color-coded Ethylene Propylene (EPDM). EPDM insulations are tough but highly flexible coatings for conductors. They don’t conduct current so you can handle the wire as it transmits power without worries over your safety. Moreover, it protects the underlying conductor from corrosion caused by moisture and industrial chemicals. It can’t be penetrated by UV light, water, or oil and can absorb damaging impacts of physical impacts to keep the conductor safe. It’s easy to terminate, twist, and fold without suffering wears and tears.
