Alpha Wire Hookup Wire TEFLON Series Orange PTFE Equipment Wire, 16 AWG, 19, 30 m, Polytetrafluoroethylene, 5858 OR005

This PTFE equipment wire provides insulated interconnections for control, instrumentation and equipment wiring in demanding environments. Designed for continuous use across a wide thermal range, it suits applications where chemical inertness and flexible conductor performance are required. The construction combines a fine-stranded conductor with a thin fluoropolymer jacket to deliver electrically stable conductors for panel, harness and internal wiring tasks.

• Silver-plated copper conductor reduces contact resistance and improves solderability
• 19-core fine-strand construction enhances flexibility and vibration resistance
• PTFE insulation enables operation from -60 to 200°C for thermal resilience
• 600Vrms rating supports higher-voltage internal wiring and control circuits
• VW-1 flame test performance lowers flame propagation risk in confined spaces

• Suitable for wiring in automated assembly equipment and enclosures
• Ideal for sensor and actuator connections in industrial control systems
• Used for interconnects in high-temperature test rigs and ovens
• Can be used for internal harnesses in medical and analytical instruments
• Used for avionics and military wiring where size and temperature matter

The conductor is a fine-stranded silver-plated copper with a 19-strand core and a cross-sectional area of 1.23 mm².

The nominal PTFE wall is 0.012 in, providing a slim overall diameter that facilitates routing through Compact harnesses while retaining dielectric strength.

Maximum pull tension is 19.1 lb and the recommended bend radius is 10 times the cable diameter to avoid conductor damage.

It conforms to UL AWM/Style 1213, MIL‑W‑16878/4 Type E, VW‑1 flame criteria, NEMA HP3‑EXBJE, REACH and RoHS, and meets California Proposition 65 surface material requirements.

Typical packaging options include continuous 100 ft spools and larger 500 ft or 1000 ft put‑ups with specified spool dimensions and minimum piece lengths.
