8522-YEL-1000 is a low-temperature plastic lead wire designed for general-purpose electrical applications requiring reliable insulation and conductivity. The wire features 18 AWG (16x30 stranding) tinned copper conductor with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation, conforming to MIL-W-76C specifications. It is rated for 1000V RMS with a maximum operating temperature of 80°C and a minimum of -40°C, supporting a maximum recommended current of 16 amps in free air at 30°C ambient. The conductor exhibits a nominal DC resistance of 6.35 ohm/1000ft, and the complete wire assembly weighs 7 lbs per 1000 feet. This wire is commonly used in industrial control systems, appliances, and equipment where cost-effective, durable insulation and compliance with military standards are required.
