UL Irradiated Wires

Our UL Irradiated Wires are engineered for applications demanding enhanced heat and mechanical durability. Through radiation cross-linking of the insulation (typically PVC), these wires gain thermoset properties that boost resistance to abrasion, soldering heat, and deformation. This makes them ideal for use in consumer electronics, industrial systems, appliances, and more.

UL Irradiated Wires

Key Features & Benefits

  • Thermoset Insulation: Radiation cross-linking converts standard PVC into a tougher, non-melting material.
  • Heat & Solder Resistance: Maintains insulation integrity under soldering operations without shrinking or flowing.
  • Abrasion & Cut-through Protection: Withstands mechanical wear better than conventional wires.
  • Fluid & Chemical Durability: Resists many oils, cleaning agents, and environmental agents.
  • Stable Electrical Properties: Reliable dielectric behavior across operating conditions.

Applications

Technical Specifications

  • Conductor: Tinned copper, stranded
  • Insulation: Irradiated, cross-linked PVC (XLPVC)
  • Temperature Rating: Common values (e.g. -55 °C to 105 °C or higher)
  • Voltage Rating: Often 300 V (appliance), may support 600 V (electronic use)
  • Gauge Options: Multiple AWG sizes
  • Certifications: UL recognized/material, possibly MIL compatibility

Why Choose UL Irradiated Wires?

  • Greater mechanical robustness compared to standard PVC wires
  • Better performance under soldering and rework
  • Long-term durability in challenging environments
  • A good choice when you want enhanced reliability without moving to high-end specialty insulation

Ordering & Availability

  • Supplied in reels, spools, or cut lengths
  • Multiple color and striping options for circuit identification
  • Complete test reports, certificates of conformity, and traceability
  • Custom options available (special gauges, insulation thickness, voltage classes)
