Specification

18 AWG (16/30) HOOK UP LEAD WIRE TC AWM 3340

Applications:

The lead hook up wire is an electrical wire developed for highly volatile explosive working conditions with high temperatures and now serve as motor lead wires, military wires, and electronics internal wiring. Lead cable has an impressive heat aging attributes and doubles up as a relatively low-cost system for light motors and is explosion-proof.

Lead wire AWM hook up cable complies with the CSA FT-2 specifications for fire compliance, UL 758 for 125°C/600V flexing cables, CSA CL for cables flexing at 150°C, and CSA AWM 600 Volts at 125°C. 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 piece enhanced with tinned copper. The set-up is put together in line with the specifications of ASTM B-33. Stranding makes the cable very flexible so that it can be folded for easy transportation and bent to fit into ducts 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.
