- 100% Physical and Electrical testing (see below for test voltages )
- A minimum of 3 layers of PTFE tape, wrapped and sintered, provides balanced bi-axially oriented, concentrically placed insulation (for more details about advantages of TWS method, click here)
- Minimum shrinkage/deformation and no `run-away’ problem at soldering-iron temperatures
- Surface as good as extruded wire without the disadvantages of extruded PTFE insulation in fine-gauge thin-wall types
- Certified minimum BREAK DOWN VOLTAGE (on samples) to ensure higher, uniform and predictable performance
- Controlled tigher tolerance on weight, PTFE density and conductor resistance
- Test voltages for the three common working voltages are:
CAUTION
- Thin-wall insulation is not recommended for higher soldering iron temperatures and for gauges larger than AWG 20
- Stripping of Tape-Wrapped-Sintered (TWS) PTFE insulation is generally difficult on automatic high-speed machines, more so, for thin-wall finer sizes
