MIL-SPEC Wire & Cable

The outstanding electrical and mechanical properties of PTFE over a broad range of temperatures and frequencies make these cables the standard for a wide range of military and commercial applications.

M22759 (SAE AS22759) wires are high-performance, medium- and high-temperature hookup wires with extruded PTFE or ETFE, or PTFE/polyimide tape insulators, and stranded conductors.

MIL-W-81822 (SAE AS81822) wires have solid conductors for wire-wrap termination, with extruded insulation of PTFE, PTFE with polyimide hardcoat, or ETFE. Each insulation type is available with a choice of three silver-plated conductor materials. All are rated at 300 volts.

MIL-DTL-27500 (NEMA WC27500) cables incorporate from one to fifteen M22759, MIL-W-25038, or MIL-DTL-81381 wires, plus a single or double shield and a single or double jacket. MIL-DTL-27500 part numbering system provides for many combinations of cable construction characteristics.

Although designed for aerospace use, these wires are ideal for commercial applications which can benefit from their high temperature rating and resistance to abrasions and solvents.

MIL-W-16878 wires (or NEMA HP3 and HP4 spec) are general-purpose, medium and high-temperature hookup wires, with PTFE or FEP insulation. Each insulation type is available in thin, medium, or heavy wall thickness, for voltage ratings from 250 to 1,000 volts. Conductor choices within MIL-W-16878 are solid or stranded copper, high-strength copper alloy, or copper-covered steel; with silver, nickel, or tin plating.

These wires are designed for critical circuit applications where wires must operate in extremely harsh environments, under vibration, and with direct flame exposure.

Amphenol CIT Seamless-T™ product line meets the enhanced “seamless” insulation and enhanced requirements of AS22759/180-/192, once again raising the bar for outstanding performance.
