scope:
This Standards publication covers specific requirements for crosslinked, modified polyethylene insulated solid and stranded wire, designed to the internal wiring of high-reliability electrical and electronic equipment. This Standards publication addresses 600 V (Type L), 1000 V (Type LL), and 3000 V (Type LX) wire and permits continuous conductor temperature ratings of -65°C to +125°C with either tin-coated or silver-coated conductors. These types of hook-up wire are used when the following requirements are called for:
a. Moderate temperature resistance
b. Low temperature resistance
c. Moderate dielectric constant
d. Good flexibility and flex life when stranded conductors are used
e. Solder iron resistance for easier solder terminations without potential damage
f. Good fire resistance
