MIL-DTL-81381
wire
MIL-DTL-81381
wires have stranded conductors of copper or high-strength copper alloy, and insulation
of FEP/polyimide tape with a polyimide coating (or polyamide braid) for enhanced abrasion resistance.
All are rated at 600 volts.
Conductors are available with silver plating (40 µ" minimum), nickel plating (50µ" minimum), or tin plating
(per ASTM B 33).
Although these wires were designed for aerospace use, they are ideal for commercial applications which
can benefit from their high temperature rating and resistance to abrasions and solvents.

MIL-DTL-81381/7, /8
wire—light weight
MIL-DTL-81381/7 and /8
wires have two layers of
FEP/polyimide/FEP tape insulation with a polyimide
hard coat for increased cut-through and abrasion
resistance.
Originally designed for aerospace use, these wires
are ideal for other applications requiring excellent
thermal stability, tight dimensional tolerances, and
high reliability.
These wires are especially well-suited in applications
where smoke emission, overload stability, and
flammability are major concerns.
Performance:
Voltage rating:
600V.
Temperature rating:
-55 to 200˚ C.
Construction Details
Insulation:
Two layers of FEP/polyimide/FEP tape with
modified aromatic polyimide coating.
Conductor:
/7: Silver-plated copper;
/8: Nickel-plated copper.
Colors:
Color coded to MIL-STD-104 (see page 57
for details ).
Identification:
to MIL-DTL-81381.

MIL-DTL-81381/13, /14
wire—medium weight—high strength conductor
MIL-DTL-81381/13 and /14
wires have two layers of
FEP/polyimide/FEP tape insulation (three layers for
28 AWG) with a polyimide hard coat for increased
cut-through and abrasion resistance, and a high-
strength copper alloy conductor for greater break
strength.
Originally designed for aerospace use, these wires
are ideal for other applications requiring excellent
thermal stability, tight dimensional tolerances, and
high reliability.
These wires are especially well-suited in applications
where smoke emission, overload stability, and
flammability are major concerns.
Performance:
Voltage rating:
600V.
Temperature rating:
-55 to 200˚ C.
Construction Details
Insulation:
(26 AWG and larger):
First layer: Polyimide/FEP tape;
Second layer: FEP/polyimide/FEP tape;
Third (outer) layer: modified aromatic
polyimide coating.
(28 AWG):
Three layers of FEP/polyimide/FEP tape with
modified aromatic polyimide coating.
Conductor:
/13: Silver-plated high-strength copper alloy;
/14: Nickel-plated high-strength copper alloy.
Colors:
Color coded to MIL-STD-104 (see page 57
for details.
Identification:
to MIL-DTL-81381.
