3049 BK001

Single Conductor Cables (Hook-Up Wire) are a versatile and cost-effective way to carry electric current to electronic components. A number of options exist which depend upon the load, installation environment, and desired flexibility. Of these, 3049 BK001 is a wire designed for 3-phase and 4-wire loads that require flexibility. This type of wire is a great choice for industrial and commercial applications, such as motors, fans, pumps, and solenoid valves.

3049 BK001 Single Conductor Cable is a single-core stranded wire that can be used for both low- and high-voltage applications. It is UL recognized and RoHS compliant. This hook-up cable has a wide range of applications, including motor control, machine tools, small machines, instrumentation, and any other application whose wiring system requires flexibility and reliability. Its conductive core is made of 99.9% pure oxygen free copper with up to 20 strands.

The 3049 BK001 hook-up wire is an American Wire Gage (AWG) identified, which indicates that it has greater conductor flexibility than other cables of the same size. This is because the AWG measurements are larger in diameter, allowing the strands of the wire to distribute the load more such that it avoids the high current stress that can occur in more tightly wound cable constructions. This helps prolong the life of the wire’s insulation, making it suitable for use in high vibration areas that experience frequent flexing.

The insulation for the 3049 BK001 wire is composed of a thermoplastic elastomer material that is highly resistant to oil, grease, gasoline, and weathering. It also has high tear strength and low cold flow phenomena. Because it is flame retardant, it is suitable for use in hazardous areas. It has a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and a broad frequency range of 25-150 MHz, enabling it to withstand electrical load impulses with no degradation of the insulation.

To ensure that the 3049 BK001 hook-up wire performs to specifications, it is subjected to several rigorous electrical tests, including voltage testing and temperature cycling. Voltage testing is used to evaluate the insulation properties and temperature cycling tests the temperature endurance properties of the conductors. All tests are performed in accordance with UL and IEC standards.

The 3049 BK001 single conductor cable is designed to meet the requirements of applications where flexibility coupled with perfect electrical conductivity is needed. Its wide range of available configurations, excellent insulation properties, and ease of use make it a great choice for industrial and commercial applications. Its superior flexibility and reliability, combined with its competitive price, make it an excellent choice for any project.
