8523-BLK-100 is a low-temperature plastic lead wire designed for general-purpose electrical applications requiring reliable insulation and conductivity. The wire features 20 AWG (7R28) tinned copper conductor with PVC polyvinyl chloride insulation, meeting MIL-W-76C military specifications for type MWP applications. It is rated for 1000V with a maximum operating temperature of 80°C and an operating range from -40°C to +80°C, delivering a nominal conductor DC resistance of 9 Ohm/1000ft and supporting a maximum recommended current of 12 amps in free air at 30°C ambient. The wire is supplied on a reel in 100 ft length and weighs approximately 5 lbs per 1000 ft, making it suitable for instrumentation, control circuits, and low-voltage power distribution where cost-effective, durable insulation is required.
