UL3398 wire is an electrical hook-up wire known for its cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, providing excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress. It's commonly used for internal wiring in electronic devices and appliances due to its high temperature rating (150°C), low smoke emission, and halogen-free properties.
Conductor: Typically made of stranded, tinned copper.
Insulation: Irradiation-crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE). This process enhances the material's properties, making it more robust and resistant to melting.
Voltage Rating: 300V.Key Features:
High Temperature Resistance: Rated for 150°C, making it suitable for applications where heat is a factor.
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to various solvents, oils, acids, and other chemicals.
Flame Retardancy: High flame retardance prevents fire propagation.
Low Smoke and Halogen-Free: Reduces the amount of smoke and harmful gases emitted in case of fire.
Flexibility and Durability: Resistant to deformation, cut-through, and abrasion.
Water and Moisture Resistance: Withstands exposure to water and humidity.
Approvals: UL, CULApplications:
Internal wiring in electronic devices and appliances.
Connections in control panels and other electrical equipment.
Suitable for use in harsh environments due to its resistance to chemicals and high temperatures.Specification and Parameter
