Highly flame retarded/non melting
Limited fire hazard
600V rated
Excellent fluid resistance
Flexible
Double insulation (for Class 2
equipment)
• Tough, thin wall
• Small size, light weight
FLT dual-wall wire combines flexibility
with tough thin wall insulation to enable
bundles to be routed through areas in
which conventional wires cannot be used.

Physical characteristics
Small Size
FLT equipment wire 600 volt rated has a 0.20 mm nominal wall thickness compared to 0.25mm and 0.38mm for equivalent PTFE and PVC wires in
MIL-W-16878, MIL-W-22759 or BS3G210.
Light weight
Due to the thin wall and low density of the insulation materials considerable weight savings are made over similarly rated PTFE wires.
For Example: FLT0111 - 0.35 equipment wire 4.38 grams/metre max
22 AWG PTFE equipment wire MIL-W-22759 5.54 grams/metre max
General Handling
The flexibility of FLT and the ease with which it takes a ‘set’ makes it one of the easiest of the ‘high performance’ wires to install. Stripping is done
with conventional die blade strippers. For details of appropriate tools see separate wire handling guide. The tin-plated copper conductor usually
specified is easily soldered or crimped.
Lengths
FLT is available in long continuous lengths and can be supplied for use on automatic cut and strip preparation machines.

Environmental performance
Temperature rating
FLT wire is rated for continuous operation from -65
°
C to + 150
°
C and for short periods at much higher temperatures.
Mechanical performance
Radiation crosslinking of the FLT insulation significantly improves the following mechanical characteristics; scrape (sharp edges), cut-through
resistance and creep resistance.
Solder iron/Overload resistance
Radiation crosslinking ensures that the insulation does not melt at high temperature. As a result FLT wire is resistant to hot solder irons and current
overloads which would melt most thermoplastic insulations.
