Radix DDS16C026, DuraFlex 550 16 AWG 600V Mica Glass Fiberglass
Description
Part Number: DDS16C026
Radix DDS16C026 DuraFlex 550 leadwire is built for extreme-heat applications, featuring a 550 Degrees Centigrade (1022 F) Temperature Rating and a durable mica-based Insulation system. Its 16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) NICKEL PLATED COPPER Conductor is designed for dependable performance where standard MGT constructions may fall short. The modified silicone Jacket helps reduce handling irritation while improving resistance to braid fray, mechanical abuse, and braid pushback. It also offers strong cutting and stripping characteristics for efficient, high-volume manufacturing and assembly.
