High-Temperature Wire (MIL Specification)
Heat-resistant cable engineered to MIL-W, MIL-DTL, and NEMA HP standards
Overview
WIPE hotwire's MIL specification high-temperature wire range is engineered for demanding electronic, aerospace, and military applications where standard wiring cannot withstand sustained thermal and electrical stress. As a high-temperature electrical cable built to MIL-W-16878, MIL-DTL-22759, and MIL-DTL-16878 standards, this range covers hook-up wire, motor and transformer leads, computer back panel wiring, and aircraft electrical systems. Available in PTFE, FEP, ETFE, and PVC insulation, this high-temperature cable range is rated from 105°C to 260°C, giving engineers a specification for every thermal class their application demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this wire suitable for MIL-spec high-temperature applications?
This wire is constructed with PTFE, FEP, or ETFE insulation, materials chosen for excellent dielectric properties, low weight, and strong thermal and cryogenic performance. ETFE-insulated variants are considered self-extinguishing and non-burning in both horizontal and vertical flammability tests, making them well suited to aerospace and military equipment.
What is the maximum temperature rating available?
Depending on configuration, this range is rated from 105°C up to 260°C, with FEP and PTFE variants covering the higher end of that range.
What is the difference between the jacket types offered?
Some constructions are supplied without an outer jacket (insulation only), while others include a Nylon jacket for added mechanical protection, commonly specified for aircraft electrical systems.
What voltage ratings are available?
Voltage grades range from 250V to 3000V across the wire range, allowing selection based on the specific circuit and application requirement.
