5 Minutes to Know Everything about Silicone Rubber Insulated Cable

In our daily work, we often encounter all kinds of electrical wires and cables, which are generally used in different environments and voltages. Usually, ordinary PVC insulated electronic wires are common used. However, there are also many silicone stranded wires and the prices are more highly when comparable to other cable. People don't know what the difference is, but heard that the high temperature silicone wire can be used in a high temperature environment. Let's learn about the high temperature silicone wire.

Environmentally friendly high-temperature silicone covered electronic wire is made of high-quality silica gel and high-purity tin-plated copper conductor, which has high and low temperature resistance, insulation and other properties.

Rated temperature: 150℃

Rated voltage: 600V

Test voltage: 2000V

Lead-free: Compliant with 2015-863-EU (RoHS2.0) standard

Certification: UL 3529

Features: Use standard thickness, easy to peel, cut off, with acid and alkali resistance, oil resistance, moisture resistance, anti-virus properties, very suitable for use in hot and humid environments, because it also has waterproof and pressure resistance properties, and is also convenient for peeling and cutting . What’s more the silicone rubber insulated cable needed to pass UL VW-1 and CSA Ft1 vertical flame test.

It can be seen that the environmentally friendly high temperature silicone jacket electronic wire is indeed different from the ordinary hook up electronic wire. Let's take a look at the difference between the ordinary hook up stranded wire and high temperature silicone cable.

The difference between silicone stranded wire and hook up electronic wire

Silicone covered wires are very different from ordinary hook up electronic wires. First of all, covered silicone rubber sheath will not melt. It can withstand high temperatures of 150 degrees to 200 degrees and low temperatures of 60 degrees; ordinary hook up wires, such as the UL1005 or UL1017 are thermoplastic and can only reach high temperatures of 105 degrees at most, and if the temperature is higher, it will be the same as plastic. just melted. Secondly, the properties of silica gel are relatively soft, wear-resistant, tensile and oil-resistant, and the conditions are much better than ordinary hook up electronic wires in all aspects. If there is nothing special about the environment in which your device is used, you can use ordinary electrical wires, because the price of silicone rubber insulated cable is a little higher.

Therefore, environmentally friendly high-temperature silicone stranded electronic wires are very suitable for various household appliances, and microwave ovens are a typical example. In addition, metallurgy, chemical industry, and power stations are also widely used.
