Alpha Wire Hookup Wire TEFLON Series Violet PTFE Equipment Wire, 20 AWG, 19 x 0.20 mm, 0.20 mm core strands, 30 m,

Belden Hookup Wire TEFLON Series PTFE Equipment Wire, 0.62mm² Cross Sectional Area, Violet Jacket - 5856 VI005

This PTFE equipment wire is a violet-insulated hookup conductor designed for demanding electrical and electronic installations. It combines a silver-plated copper core with polytetrafluoroethylene insulation to perform reliably across a wide temperature span and in environments where chemical resistance and electrical integrity are required.

Features & Benefits

• Silver-plated copper conductor reduces contact resistance and corrosion
  VW-1 flame rating provides vertical flame-retardant performance
  600Vrms rating enables use in many control and power circuits
  Temperature range −60 to 200°C supports high-temperature routing
  19-strand construction improves flexibility for tight routing
  RoHS and REACH conformity minimises restricted substances in assemblies

**Applications**

• Suitable for high-temperature sensor and probe cabling in automation
  Ideal for wiring inside industrial control panels and enclosures
  Used with precision electronic instruments requiring low-resistance conductors
  Can be used for military-spec retrofit and repair tasks requiring Type E wire
  Suitable for harnesses where chemical resistance and thin insulation matter

What is the conductor cross-sectional area and how does that affect current capacity?

The conductor area is 0.62 mm²
this limited cross-section suits signal and low-current control circuits rather than heavy power distribution.

How flexible is the cable for routing in confined assemblies?

The conductor comprises 19 strands which increase pliability, aiding installation through bends and around components while maintaining conductor integrity.

What insulation characteristics support long-term performance in elevated temperatures?

The insulation is PTFE (TFE) with a maximum continuous operating temperature of 200°C, providing thermal stability and chemical resistance in demanding environments.

How is the product packaged for field use and storage?

It is available on spools including continuous 100 ft lengths and 1000 ft flange packs with minimum piece lengths for the larger put-up.

Which standards and approvals are applicable for regulated projects?

The wire meets military MIL‑W‑16878/4 Type E, UL AWM/STYLE 1213, NEMA HP3‑EXBGE and complies with California Proposition 65, RoHS and REACH requirements.
