TINNED COPPER WIRE & CABLE APPLICATIONS

Tinned copper wire is particularly useful in underground subway systems, and projects exposed to excess oil, gas, or water. Tinned bare copper is frequently used in utility projects in the Northeast and environments exposed to excess sodium-chloride salts (seawater).

Benefits of Tinned Copper:

• Protects Against Corrosion
• Extends the Life of the Cable
• Easy to Solder
• Same Conductivity as Bare Copper

Standards:

• ASTM Standards: B-3 (soft or annealed), B-8 (concentric lay stranded),
• B-33 (tinned), B-787 (combination strand)
• UL 44
• ICEA S-95-658/NEMA WC-70
• Federal Spec. A-A-59544
• Flame Rated: VW-1 (all sizes), CT Use/IEEE1202 (1/0 AWG and larger),
•  FT-4 (1/0 AWG and larger)
• Temperature Rated at 90°C Wet/Dry, Cold Temperature Rated at -40°C
• Sunlight Resistant (#6 AWG and larger), Gasoline and Oil Resistant II
• Appliance Wiring Material: Style 3578
• RoHS Compliant
