2916 SL001

Single Conductor Cables (Hook-Up Wire)

2916 SL001 is an industry standard for a specific type of single conductor cables also known as hook-up wire. These cables are used for various applications such as instruments, temperature sensor control, low voltage power control, chassis wiring, and general purpose ducting. This type of hook-up wire is made with UL Category B strands that are composed of stranded bare copper wires insulated with a thin film of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) thermoplastic.

Typical applications of hook-up wires include wiring of components, wires for appliance service cords, wiring of meters, control circuits, telephone and sound systems. This type of hook-up wire is also widely used in the computer industry due to its flexibility, durability and high temperature resistance. It provides protection in all applications from high voltage shocks and short circuits.

Application Field

2916 SL001 is suitable for various applications. It’s used in environments that require a high degree of flexibility and a low electrical resistance. These features make this type of hook up wires suitable for use in machines, electronic components, instruments, meters, switchboards, control boards, relays, and transformers.

The flexibility of this wire allows it to be terminated in tight spaces such as in computers, circuit boards or electrical junction boxes, as well as in production areas.

It can also be used in automotive applications for its excellent electrical and mechanical characteristics, as well as its resistance to high temperatures and high humidity environments. This makes it ideal for applications such as car ignition systems, wiring, and audio systems.

In addition, 2916 SL001 hook-up wires are also used in the telecommunications sector for wiring, testing, and troubleshooting telephones and computers.

Working Principle

The working principle behind the 2916 SL001 hook-up wire is that it is composed of a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulated copper conductor that is stranded together with many individual copper wires. This type of cable is designed for higher current rating, higher operating temperatures, and resistance to mechanical damage.

The individual copper strands are coated with PVC insulation which gives it the flexibility and the electrical insulation to operate over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies. The characteristic impedance of the wire is also affected by the use of PVC.

These components offer a low-resistance connection for electrical wiring purposes. They also offer the flexibility and strength to ensure secure connections even in high-vibration applications. This type of hook up wires is designed to pass the UL® (Underwriters Laboratories) 93 standard, making it safe and reliable.

In conclusion, the 2916 SL001 is an industry standard for a specific type of single conductor cables also known as hook-up wires. These cables are used in various applications, from machines to telecommunications applications, due to its electrical characteristics, flexibility, durability and high temperature resistance.
