MIL-W-16878/6 Type ET Wire
Application and Description
These PTFE insulated single-core MIL-W-16878/6 (Type ET) wires are used for MIL-Spec, power supply
lead wire, appliance wiring and medical electronics. The thin wall PTFE insulation offers high reliability
and excellent thermal stability. It resists chemicals, ultra-violet radiation, and mold growth and is nontoxic
and safe for the environment. The MIL Spec wire has excellent resistance to thermal aging, solder
iron damage, flame, and moisture. PTFE also resists solvents, greases, ozone and most other chemicals.
These wires are easy to install due to their small size and slippery surface.
