scope:
This standards publication covers specific requirements for cross-linked, modified polyethylene insulated solid and stranded wire designed to the internal wiring of high reliability electrical and electronic equipment. This document 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 silvercoated conductors. These types of hook-up wire are used when the following requirements are called for:
- Moderate temperature resistance
- Low temperature resistance
- Moderate dielectric constant
- Good flexibility and flex life when stranded conductors are used
- Solder iron resistance for easier solder terminations without potential damage
- Good fire resistance
