Typical Applications   Coils and Relays   Lighting Ballast transformers   Motors   Torroidal Coils   Ignition Coils Product Description Thermal Class:    155° Solderable without prior insulation removal. Polyamide (Nylon) overcoat provides excellent mechanical protection during winding and insertion. Excellent dereeling and windability on high speed and/or automated winding machines. Produces compact coils and windings. Self-fluxing providing excellent soldered connections with solder temperatures as low as 360°C. Exceptional film flexibility and adhesion. Extremely resistant to a variety of solvents, including most varnishes and hardener catalysts.   GENERAL INFORMATION References Are Provided for Comparative Purposes:   ROUND       NEMA: MW 80-C, MW 80-A       UL: E37683 Standard Color:   Red Availability:   Round       Copper       Single 10 - 38 AWG       Heavy 10 - 31 AWG       Aluminum       Single 10 - 24 AWG       Heavy 10 - 24 AWG Typical Properties This data is typical of 18 AWG copper, heavy build insulation only.
