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.
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.
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.
Conductor Size: 16 AWG
Conductor Material: Stranded Silver-Plated or Nickel-Plated Copper
Insulation Material: FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene)
Voltage Rating: 600V
Temperature Rating: 200°C
UL Style: 1330
Flame Rating: Passes UL VW-1 Flame Test
Compliance: RoHS Compliant, CSA Approved
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.

The 16 AWG UL 1330 FEP High-Temp Wire is a premium, single-conductor lead wire engineered for internal appliance and electronic wiring where space is limited and extreme heat is a factor. It features a robust 16-gauge tinned copper core insulated with a thin layer of Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP). This specific construction allows the wire to handle up to 600V and continuous temperatures of 200°C (392°F), making it ideal for harsh thermal and chemical environments.
This high-temperature hook-up wire is widely used for the internal wiring of commercial appliances, industrial ovens, and control panels. Because FEP insulation is completely immune to oil, gasoline, and solvents, it is also highly favored for automotive sensor wiring, fuel cell systems, and chemical processing equipment. Additionally, 16 AWG is the standard "workhorse" size for aircraft wiring, lighting ballasts, and custom thermal assemblies requiring high power density in tight physical spaces.
If you are searching for this high-temperature wire nearby, the fastest and most reliable option is to order through our online store. Rather than hoping a local hardware store has specialized 200°C industrial wiring in stock, you can purchase directly from us. We fulfill orders immediately with an estimated standard shipping time of 2-4 days, and we offer expedited shipping options at checkout if you are working against a tight project deadline or need emergency replacement wire.
Yes. Because it is rated for 200°C (392°F), it is perfectly safe to use for internal wiring repair on ovens, commercial grills, and smokers. However, you should always route it along the frame rather than wrapping it directly around a glowing heating element, which can far exceed 400°F.
