Single-core FEP wire, resistant to high temperatures HELUFLON®-FEP-6Y 1x16 mm² other color, conductor: silver-plated copper 20368

Single-core FEP wire – reliability in extreme conditions

This single-core wire with FEP fluoropolymer insulation is a solution for demanding applications where standard wires fail. It is characterized by exceptional resistance to high temperatures, chemicals and harsh environmental conditions. Ideal for both industrial installations and building switchgear cabinets. Made of silver-plated copper, it provides excellent conductivity and long-lasting reliability.

Construction and properties

The HELUFLON®-FEP-6Y wire stands out with its careful construction. The core is made of silver-plated copper, which minimizes corrosion and increases resistance to oxidation, thereby extending the wire's lifespan. The FEP fluoropolymer insulation provides not only high thermal resistance (up to +205°C, briefly up to +230°C) but also chemical resistance to acids, bases, oils and gasoline. Additionally, this material is flame retardant and resistant to microorganisms and fungal growth.

The wire has a cross-section of 16 mm², making it suitable for transmitting larger currents. Its approximate outer diameter is 7 mm. The flexible construction makes it easy to install even in tight spaces – the minimum bending radius is 10x the cable diameter for flexible bending and 4x the cable diameter for stationary bending. The insulation resistance is at least 2 GOhm/km, which guarantees safe use.

Applications and benefits

This wire finds wide application in:

• Chemical industry: thanks to its resistance to aggressive chemicals.
• Furnaces, brickyards and heating devices: due to its high thermal resistance.
• Kitchen and measuring devices: where reliability in difficult conditions is required.
• Construction of switchgear cabinets: as an element ensuring safe and durable electrical connections.
• Applications requiring radiation resistance: thanks to resistance up to 1 x 10⁶ cJ/kg (up to 1 Mrad).

By choosing this wire, you gain:

• Exceptional durability: thanks to the use of high-quality materials and precise construction.
• Safety: confirmed by tests in accordance with DIN VDE 0482-332-1-2, DIN EN 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-1 (equivalent to DIN VDE 0472 part 804 test method B).
• Versatility: possibility of use in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
• Resistance to external factors: protection against the influence of moisture, ozone and the development of microorganisms.
