Single-core PTFE wire HELUFLON®-PTFE-5Y 1xAWG18/7 (0.90 mm²) black, 600 V 25221

HELUFLON-PTFE-5Y Cable – Reliability in Extreme Conditions

This high-quality single-core cable with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) insulation is an ideal solution for applications requiring resistance to extreme temperatures, aggressive chemicals and harsh environmental conditions. The HELUFLON-PTFE-5Y cable is characterized by exceptional durability and reliability, making it an excellent choice for both professional installers and end-users.

Construction and application

This cable is designed to operate in a wide temperature range – from -190°C to +260°C (short-term up to +300°C). The silver-plated copper core ensures excellent conductivity, and the PTFE insulation guarantees exceptional chemical and electrical resistance. This makes the cable suitable for installations and construction of control panels operating in extreme conditions, such as furnaces, brickworks, kitchen appliances or measuring devices. It is also indispensable in the chemical industry, where it is exposed to flames, acids, alkalis, solvents, oils and gasoline. It meets the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU (CE marking).

Key features and benefits

• Exceptional thermal resistance: The cable retains its properties at very low and high temperatures, allowing it to be used in demanding applications.
• Excellent chemical resistance: PTFE insulation is resistant to most chemicals, ensuring long-lasting and reliable operation in an aggressive environment.
• High insulation: PTFE is characterized by high insulation resistance (min. 1 GOhm x km), which minimizes energy losses and ensures safe use.
• Low electrical losses: Thanks to high-quality materials, the cable minimizes energy losses during power transmission.
• Radiation resistance: The cable is resistant to radiation up to 1 x 10⁵ cJ/kg (up to 1 Mrad), which expands the range of its applications.
• Safety: Self-extinguishing and flame-retardant material, tested in accordance with DIN VDE 0482-332-1-2, DIN EN 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-1 standards.
• Flexibility: Minimum bending radius is 10 x cable diameter, which facilitates installation and routing of cables in tight spaces.

Additional information: available in black (standard), as well as other colors by adding the appropriate symbol to the catalog number (1 = black, 2 = red, etc.). The core can be supplied bare or tinned/nickel-plated on request. The core cross-section is 0.9 mm², and the outer diameter is approximately 1.94 mm.
