Military Cable

MIL-W-25038/3

Application and Description:

These PTFE insulated single-core MIL-W-25038/3 cables are used in such aerospace applications as engine

compartments, fire detection circuits, flight-critical circuits, and fly-by-wire systems. MIL-W-25038/3 (Thermazone

IIIK) wires are designed for critical circuit applications where wires must operate in extremely harsh

environments, under vibration, and with direct flame exposure. MIL-W-25038/3(Thermazone IIIG) wires also

meet or exceed the requirements of MIL-W-25083/3, but provide this performance at a lower cost through the

use of an innovative insulation system.
