and shall be performed on every length of finished cable.
CHROMEL® and ALUMEL® are federally registered trademarks of Hoskins Manufacturing Company.
Alternative conductors, exhibiting the same performance characteristics, may be substituted for one
or both of the CHROMEL® and ALUMEL® conductors.
Users should evaluate the suitability of this product for their application. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Tyco Electronics also reserves the right to make changes in materials or processing, which do not affect compliance with any specification, without notification to Buyer.
1/ COLORS AND COLOR CODE DESIGNATORS SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH MIL-STD-681. HOWEVER, DUE TO LENGTH LIMITATIONS OF THE RAYCHEM PART NUMBER,
AN ALTERNATIVE COLOR CODE MAY REPLACE MIL-STD-681 COLOR CODE DESIGNATORS. (EXAMPLE: “901/902...” MAY BE REPLACED BY “Axxx”.) OTHER CODES AND
SUFFIXES MAY BE ADDED TO THE PART NUMBER, AS NECESSARY, TO CAPTURE ANY ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY THE PURCHASE ORDER.
