"The flexible choice for industrial motor leads and high-heat appliances—engineered with premium silicone rubber and a protective glass braid for maximum reliability up to 150°C."

Why Professionals Choose SRML Motor Lead High Temp Wire

The 16 AWG SRML wire is designed for environments where extreme heat and constant vibration are present. It is the primary choice for industrial motor leads, commercial ovens, and high-intensity lighting fixtures. The silicone rubber insulation provides exceptional flexibility, while the outer fiberglass braid protects the core from mechanical abrasion and heat damage.

  • 150°C Heat Resistance: Rated for continuous use in extreme thermal environments from -60°C up to 150°C for UL applications, and capable of withstanding 200°C in specific industrial environments.

  • Extreme Flexibility: The silicone core and stranded tinned copper allow the wire to be snaked through tight motor housings without cracking or kinking.

  • Fiberglass Braid Protection: Features a heavy-duty glass braid treated with a high-temp finish impregnated with a moisture, heat, and flame-resistant compound.

  • Tinned Copper Conductor: Features a tin coating over the stranded copper to prevent corrosion and ensure high conductivity per ASTM B-33.

SRML stands for Silicone Rubber Motor Lead wire. It is specifically designed for the harsh, high-vibration, and high-heat conditions found inside industrial motors and commercial heating appliances.

SRML wire is dual-rated for temperature performance. It carries a 150°C (302°F) rating for UL-certified applications (such as UL 3070 or UL 3231).

SRML is primarily used for motor lead wire, lighting fixtures, and high wattage units like sun lamps. Because of its flexibility and heat resistance, it is also the standard choice for control and power circuits in abrasive or high-temperature industrial environments.

The main difference is Temperature and Material. SRML is rated for 150°C-200°C and uses a soft silicone rubber insulation, making it very flexible. TGGT is rated for 250°C and uses Teflon and glass tapes, making it better for extreme oven heat but slightly less flexible than the rubbery SRML.

SRML is significantly more flexible than standard THHN or SIS wire. Because it uses a high-strand copper core and a soft silicone jacket, it is "limp" and does not have "memory." This allows it to be snaked through tight motor housings or around heating elements where stiffer wires would kink or crack.

Yes. The silicone rubber insulation is suitable for moisture, UV, and ozone exposure. Additionally, the fiberglass jacket is impregnated with a moisture-resistant compound to enhance durability in damp settings.
