    About Wire and Cable
    industrial info icon

    Compare wire vs. cable and choose the right option based on gauge, number of conductors, insulation, and current rating.

    Chemical-Resistant Lead Wire

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lead Wire. Chemical-Resistant Lead Wire.
    Our most chemical-resistant wire—the PTFE insulation protects against most chemicals, solvents, and oil. The PTFE is slippery, so it withstands some abrasion. The wire has a silver-plated finish for corrosion resistance and strength. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. Rated MIL-W-16878/4-Type E, it meets stringent military specifications for material quality. Also known as hook-up wire.

    High-Temperature Thin-Insulation Lead Wire

    Image of Product. Side1 orientation. Lead Wire. High-Temperature Thin-Insulation Lead Wire.
    With a slim PFA plastic insulation, this wire has the same heat resistance as standard high-temperature wire but its diameter is one-third the size for use in tight spaces. It withstands water, sunlight, and chemicals, making it good for use in oil and gas applications. It’s also known as hook-up wire.
