GORE® High Performance Wires for Aerospace & Defense
Our wires deliver long-term stability, increase EV readiness and aircraft availability, improve safety and reduce total costs without adding size or weight.
Ensure Reliable Electrification with Gore Wire
GORE® High Performance Wires meet higher durability levels for electrical wires operating in extreme environments. Chemically inert and non-flammable, they won’t ever degrade after coming in contact with harsh chemicals or humidity. Our high-strength wires even resist chafing, abrasion and cut-through over wide temperatures.
Long-Term Durability & EWIS Reliability
Unlike common insulation materials, GORE High Performance Wires offer unique features that provide long-term stability against harsh environmental factors and operational conditions, including:
- low-permittivity, higher PDIV/PDEV material
- temperature-resistant, chemically inert, non-flammable materials
- abrasion- and cut-through resistant layers
- hydrophobic, non-hydrolyzing material
Our reliable power wires deliver numerous benefits that meet aerospace and defense electrification needs and requirements, like:
- reliable 600 Vrms rating based on Voltage Withstanding & PD performance at sea level
- high-strength insulation resists chafing, abrasion and cut-through over temperatures
- repel chemicals and fire for increased safety and improved system performance
- proven higher PDIV/PDEV and less voltage breakdown for improved electrical durability
- longer service life due to hydrophobic, non-hydrolyzing material with no degradation
- greater EWIS reliability, increased aircraft and vehicle availability, and reduced costs
- increased future-proofing with wires that can withstand higher voltage requirements
