Miniature, High-Temperature Hook Up & Lead Wire
Ultra-High Temperature
300-1000ºC+ working temperatures depending on construction, working environment, lifetimes, etc.
Small Diameters
Up to 0.25 mm or 0.01 inches, for applications requiring low-profiles
Lightweight
The minimal yet robust construction allows for a far lighter wire than comparable MICA tape or Fiberglass Insulated lead wires
Material Construction
Composite Insulation
1) Fiberglass/ quartz fiber sleeve 2) Extruded SiO2 insulation
3rd Layer of insulation, to improve the insulation performance between inner conductor and stainless steel jacket
Fiberglass or Quartz fiber sleeve
A very thin layer (0.05mm/ 0.002 inches) of braided material which serves as a second layer of insulation and additional protection for the ceramic layer.
Ceramic-Coated conductor
Conducting material (nickel-plated copper, pure nickel, pure silver, pure copper, and other alloys) coated with the same ceramic used in our high-temperature ceramic-coated wire, giving the wire excellent high temperature insulation performance
Stainless Steel Jacket (OPTIONAL)
A stainless steel (0.1 mm/ 0.04 inches) jacket which protects the inside components from abrasion, impacts, moisture, and other outside forces.
Without Stainless Steel Sheath, Single Conductor
With Stainless Steel Sheath, Single Conductor

T-Axel Lead Wire Compared to Alternatives
Working temperatures are similar across T-Axel's hook up and lead wire and mica tape/ fiberglass braided wire. The primary difference are listed below.
T-Axel's hook up and lead wire -
-
Is more specialized towards extremely low-profile and lightweight requirements. Traditional mica tape and fiberglass braided lead wires cannot achieve this size.
-
has higher voltage withstand relative to the small wire diameter
-
are more suited in specialized applications such as in aerospace, nuclear, satellites, ect. rather than commercial applications.
-
will be more reliable and have a longer operating lifetime than mica tape/fiberglass braid lead wires
-
If using the stainless steel outer jacket, will be better protected from environmental factors such as moisture and will allow it to withstand high vibration levels, impact shock, and can provide higher tensile strength.
