It is also great for general 600V electronics projects where the wire may periodically be exposed to higher temperature elements such as soldering irons, heat guns, or a component/winding baking process. The chemically cross-linked polyethylene jacket provides excellent cut-through and impact resistance, protects the wire against gasoline, chemicals, oils, & solvents, and additionally does not soften or burn when heated. The stranded conductor inside the jacket is made of tinned copper to provide good electrical connectivity. This wire conforms to UL and CSA specifications and provides excellent uniformity for easy processing, stripping, and terminating.
