High Performance Wire and Cable SPEC 55 by hot stamp, ink jet or laser, and can be potted without pre-etching. Product Facts Resistant to electrical arc tracking in wet or dry conditions ■ Single or dual wall constructions ■ Small size, ultra light weight ■ Exceptional chemical resistance ■ -65°C to 200°C [-85°F to 392°F] ■ SPEC 55PC Wire and Cable Insulation System Applications SPEC 55 wire is insulated with modified radiation cross-linked ETFE polymer. It has a temperature rating of -65°C to 200°C [-85°F to 392°F] continuous using a silver plated copper conductor, and combines the easy handling of a flexible wire with excellent scrape abrasion and cut-through characteristics. Available in: Americas Europe Asia Pacific ■ ■ ■ The dual wall airframe construction of SPEC 55 wire is currently used on numerous aircraft programs. It has a choice of two total wall thicknesses, 0.25 [.010] (55A08XX 10 mil) and 0.2 [.008] (55A02XX 8 mil). Both have a contrasting core color to act as a damage indicator. Chosen for its balance of properties, SPEC 55 wire has outstanding resistance to chemicals and solvents, excellent electrical arc track resistance, and is not susceptible to UV and moisture degradation. Single wall equipment wire constructions are available in 0.10 [.004] (55/03XX 4 mil) and 0.15 [.006] (6 mil) wall thicknesses for use inside black boxes where flexibility and solderiron resistance make it a wire which is very easy to install reliably. Both single and dual wall insulated wires are available in twisted pairs, triples, etc., and as shielded and jacketed cables. Physical Characteristics Size and Weight SPEC 55 wire provides one of the most comprehensive wiring product ranges for aerospace users, with a wide choice of conductor sizes and insulation wall thicknesses.The dual wall airframe wire has an insulation wall thickness of either 0.2 [.008] or 0.25 [.010] for robustness in unprotected harnesses and has excellent wire to wire abrasion properties. The single wall equipment wire has a 0.15 [.006] wall thickness for use inside equipment and protected harnesses. For high density, interconnect wiring, the 450 volt 55M041X series of equipment wire has a nominal 0.1 [.004] wall and provides considerable weight and size savings over other comparable wires. This product was originally developed to meet Boeing’s material standard BMS1348 for the 777 airliner. SPEC 55PC provides lightweight, compact insulation that matches the proven performance of our SPEC 55 wire. Today, 55PC is specified and utilized on the majority of aerospace platforms worldwide. TE’s rigorous, statisticalprocess-controlled manufacturing has produced wiring that is rugged and versatile enough for a wide range of commercial and defense aerospace applications, including electronic hook-ups in harsh, open airframe environments. SPEC 55PC wire and cable systems feature an 8-mil airframe wire that is lighter and smaller than typical 10-mil wire, with little reduction in key mechanical performance features. SPEC 55PC wire offers flame resistance superior to FAA standards and also resists scrape abrasion, notch, propagation, cut-through, and electrical arc tracking. ■ Meets Boeing material standard BMS 13-48. ■ Exceeds FAR 25 test requirements for flame resistance and smoke density. Handling The excellent flexibility and handleability makes SPEC 55 the ideal wire to install, both in new aircraft and equipment and for maintenance purposes. The wire is easily stripped with conventional tooling. The insulation is readily marked 9-10 Catalog 1654025 Revised 5-12 www.te.com Dimensions are shown for reference purposes only.
