PPM1230 YL002

Single conductor cables, or otherwise referred to as hook-up wires, are commonly used in an array of electrical, automotive, telecom, and industrial applications due to their simple, yet effective nature. Whether it be for connecting terminals, hooking up a machine, powering a device, shielding against interference, or otherwise, single conductor cables play an important role in the field where they are utilized. More specifically, the PPM1230 YL002 single conductor cable is an example of one of these cables that has defined characteristics and a special set of advantages to offer depending on its application.

Composition and Characteristics

The PPM1230 YL002 single conductor cable is made of a finely covered copper material that measures in at 22AWG. The insulation material consists of an extruded 0.015” PVC jacket, meaning this type of cable does not require the need for a grounding wire. It is available in both solid and stranded alloys. The recommended temperature range for the cable is anywhere from -20°C to 80°C. This cable is rated at 30 volts, making it suitable for environments with a maximum voltage of 408. The PPM1230 YL002 is suitable for optical digital interconnection cables, computer peripherals, and telecommunications equipment, and is UL-listed for control, signal, and data transmission up to 30 volts.

Application Field and Working Principle

Due to its simple design, significant flexibility, and electrical insulation properties, the PPM1230 YL002 single conductor cable has a wide range of applications. Its thin profile is particularly beneficial when it comes to wiring certain furniture, appliances, or HVAC systems due to its ability to easily fit into tight and narrow spaces. Additionally, its PVC insulation helps it to resists temperature changes and UV radiation. It is suitable for DC and AC applications up to 30 volts, making it one of the most popular and sought-after cables on the market. Furthermore, this type of cable has low noise emission, as well as improved mechanical and electrical characteristics compared to other hook-up wires. When installed properly, this cable can provide a secure connection and shield against electrical interference, rust, corona, and other environmental issues.

Due to its optimal size and composition, the PPM1230 YL002 is used as a conduit for connecting terminals, transmitting signals, and routing small-gauge wires between machines and other electronic devices. It is often used as a substitute for a ground wire, as the insulation material is self-extinguishing and highly resistant to abrasion. In essence, its functioning principle is its ability to provide a serviceable and protective voltage limit, allowing it to act as a barrier and shield electric currents from radios and other devices.
