MIL-W-16878/6
(Type ET) wire—thin-wall extruded PTFE insulation
MIL-W-16878/6 (type ET)
wires have extruded PTFE
insulation (thin wall thickness) for high-temperature
applications and light weight. PTFE insulation offers
high reliability with excellent thermal stability and
chemical resistance.
Construction Details
Insulation:

Conductor:
Silver-plated copper.
Colors:
Color coded to MIL-STD-104 (See page 26).
Options:
Nickel-plated copper conductor; silver or nickel-
plated high-strength copper alloy conductor;
sodium napthalene etched insulation for
bondability. Also available to NEMA HP-3-ETX.
For medium-wall (type E) versions of these wires,
see M16878/4 (page 27); for heavy-wall (type EE)
versions, see M16878/5 (previous page).
Performance:
Voltage rating:
250V.
Temperature rating:
Silver-plated conductor: -55 to 200˚ C;
Nickel-plated conductor: -55 to 260˚ C.
Ordering Information:
Specify Thermax part number, M16878 number, and color.
To order with optional conductor materials:
For silver-plated high-strength copper conductor, change
MT
in Thermax part number to
MTTF.
For nickel-plated copper conductor, change
MT
in Thermax part number to
MTN.
For nickel-plated high-strength copper conductor, change
MT
in Thermax part number to
MTTFN.

MIL-W-16878/11
(Type K)
equivalent
wire—extruded FEP insulation
MIL-W-16878/11 (type K)
equivalent
wires have
extruded FEP insulation (medium wall thickness) for
high-temperature applications. These wires have tin-
plated copper conductors for economy. MIL-spec
versions (silver-plated conductors) are also available.
For heavy-wall (type KK) versions of these wires,
see M16878/12 equivalent (following page); for
thin-wall (type KT) versions, see M16878/13
equivalent (page 32).
Performance:
Voltage rating:
600V.
Temperature rating:
Tin-plated conductor: -55 to 150˚ C;
Silver-plated conductor: -55 to 200˚ C;
Nickel-plated conductor: -55 to 200˚ C.
Construction Details
Insulation:
Extruded FEP, wall thickness .010 (.25 mm).
Conductor:
Tin-plated copper.
Colors:
Color coded to MIL-STD-104 (See page 26).
Options:
Silver- or nickel-plated copper conductor;
silver or nickel-plated high-strength copper alloy
conductor; sodium napthalene etched insulation
for bondability. Also available to NEMA HP-4-K.
Ordering Information:
Specify Thermax part number and color.
To order with optional conductor materials:
For silver-plated copper conductor, change
DXZ
in Thermax part number to
DX.
For silver-plated high-strength copper conductor, change
DXZ
in Thermax part number to
DXTF.
For nickel-plated copper conductor, change
DXZ
in Thermax part number to
DXN.
For nickel-plated high-strength copper conductor, change
DXZ
in Thermax part number to
DXTFN.
