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 non-toxic 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.
