16 AWG UL 1330 FEP High Temp Wire - 200°C

This 16 AWG UL 1330 high-temperature lead wire is a precision-engineered solution for industrial applications requiring reliable power delivery in extreme thermal zones. Utilizing Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) insulation, this wire maintains its mechanical toughness and electrical integrity at continuous temperatures up to 200°C, making it a superior choice for high-heat environments where standard insulations would melt or degrade.

Key Features of 16 AWG UL 1330

• Exceptional Thermal Stability: Rated for a continuous operating temperature of 200°C. It is specifically designed for the internal wiring of industrial appliances, commercial ovens, and high-performance motor leads.

• FEP Insulation (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene): FEP provides a unique combination of high dielectric strength and extreme chemical resistance. It is virtually unaffected by most solvents, acids, and fuels, ensuring long-term reliability in corrosive environments.

• Corrosion-Resistant Conductors: The 16 AWG stranded conductor typically features silver-plated or nickel-plated copper strands, which prevent oxidation and maintain high conductivity even after prolonged exposure to extreme heat.

• Tough & Compact Profile: FEP is a "thin-wall" insulation that is much tougher and more abrasion-resistant than silicone rubber. Its low-friction surface allows for easier pulling through conduit and a smaller overall footprint in dense electrical panels.

Common Applications

• Industrial Heating Equipment: Internal wiring for commercial ovens, kilns, and heat-treating systems.

• High-Performance Motors: Lead wires for heavy-duty motors and transformers operating under high thermal stress.

• Chemical & Refining Equipment: Internal wiring for sensors and power components in chemical processing plants and refineries.

• Laboratory Equipment: Used in heating mantles, sterilizers, and other high-heat scientific instruments.

Technical Note: Because FEP insulation is stiffer than silicone rubber, ensure that your bend radius calculations account for the higher modulus of the material to prevent stress on termination points. When stripping 16 AWG FEP, specialized stripping tools are recommended to avoid damaging the plating on the copper strands.
