Class A - Standard insulation
Type 3 Insulated duplex, stranded conductor (7 ohms per 50 feet)
Class A - Standard insulation
Type 4 Insulated duplex, stranded conductor (7 ohms per 100 feet)
Class A - Standard insulation
The military part number shall consist of the letter "M", the basic number of the specification, and an assigned dash number as shown below. Information to be inserted shall be derived from 1.2 and Table I.
intended Use:
Type 1, classes A, B, C, D, and E wire are intended for fabricating thermocouples.
