Summary

Gore manufactures a variety of standard and custom PTFE insulated wire for any hook-up application. Standard products meet popular military standards. Custom versions can meet mil specifi cations while offering reduced diameter and weight. As the industry’s only vertically integrated supplier, Gore’s proprietary PTFE tape wrap material is produced free of pinholes and with the highest uniformity, making us the leader in high performance hook-up wire.

  • Type ET: MIL-W-16878/20, 250 Volts
  • Type E: MIL-W-16878/21, 600 Volts
  • Type EE: MIL-W-16878/22, 1000 Volts

Gore extends the mil standard series into a subminiature range of products as small as 42 AWG.

 

Hook-Up Wire Volts

All varieties benefi t from Gore’s 40 years of vertical integration of fl uoropolymer material development and highly evolved tape wrap process.

  • Rated for temperature extremes
  • Non-fl ammable, non-outgassing materials
  • High uniformity and concentricity

 

Properties of GORE PTFE Hook-up Wire

Construction Conductors are helically wrapped with overlapping PTFE resin tapes which are then sintered into a homogeneous mass conforming to MIL-W-16878
Temperature rating

–65°C to 200°C SPC Conductors

–65°C to 200°C NPC Conductors per MIL-W- 16878
Conductors Silver-plated copper conductors are standard. Special conductors such as nickel-plated copper, stainless steel strands, high-strength copper alloys, silver, pure nickel, copperweld, berylium copper, etc.are also available.
Color coding Standard hook-up wire is supplied in solid colors to MIL-STD-104. Striping is also available upon request.
