Kapton
Insulated Thermocouple Wire

Duplex
Insulated
|
Fused
Kapton tape applied to conductors and jackets. Excellent moisture
and abrasion resistance, high dielectric strength (7 kV/mil)
retains much physical integrity after gamma radiation. FEP is
used as adhesive binding agent (melts at approx. 500°F)

Note:
Kapton wire is not ANSI color coded
NEWPORT will cover any insulated wire in our handbook with metal overbraiding
to protect against wear and abrasion. Overbraiding adds durability
and electrical shielding for improved performance.
