The 1557-RD005 is a single-conductor hookup wire designed for general-purpose electrical applications requiring reliable insulation and conductivity. It features a 16 AWG (26/30) tinned copper conductor with a nominal 0.016" wall PVC insulation, providing an overall diameter of 0.092 ± 0.002 inches. The wire is rated for 1000 V RMS at 80°C and complies with MIL-W-76B specifications (Types MW and MN). It operates reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C, with a maximum pull tension of 20.4 lbs and a minimum bend radius of 10 times the cable diameter. The wire exhibits a nominal conductor DC resistance of 4.4 O/1000 ft at 20°C and an inductance of 0.04 µH/ft. Available in multiple colors including solid colors and striped variants, this hookup wire is commonly used in control panels, instrumentation, and general wiring applications where durability and compliance with military standards are required.
