Electronic Hookup Wire
Vinyl Primary Insulation -
Nominal .015" Wall
Nylon Secondary Jacket -
Nominal Wall .003"
-54ºC to +105ºC
1000 Volts. R.M.S. (working)
Meets UL Styles 1008, 1009, 1010, CSA TR-64 with nylon except where noted.
For internal wiring of meters, panels and electronic equipment . Formerly "Type CN"

For Mil-DTL-16878 type wire, NWC takes exception to the identification printing requirement in paragraph 3.7

Standard basic insulation color numbers are: Black: 0, Brown: 1, Red: 2, Orange: 3, Yellow: 4, Green: 5, Blue: 6, Violet: 7, Gray: 8, White: 9. The insulation color code number, may be 1, 2 or 3 digits depending on the number or absence of stripes. The 1st number is color of Insulation, 2nd number is color of first stripe; 3rd number is color of the second stripe. Example: White wire(9) + Red stripe(2) + Black stripe(0) makes a color code number of "9-2-0". That color number, "9-2-0" is appended to the part number. Sample part number might be "xxxxxx-xxx-9-2-0"
