Spec 55E
High temperature,
high performance
automotive wire
Spec 55E wire is insulated with a
modified radiation crosslinked
fluoropolymer. It has a temperature
rating of -40
°
C to +200
°
C continuous,
and combines the easy handling of a
flexible wire with excellent all round
performance.
The thin wall construction enables high
wiring densities to be achieved and
the high temperature rating enables
bundles to be routed through areas in
which conventional wires cannot be
used. Chosen for its balance of
properties, Spec 55E wire has
outstanding resistance to chemicals
and solvents.
The flame retarded flexible polymer is
easy to handle and install and can be
processed using standard lead
preparation equipment.

Specifications
Volkswagen VW 60306.
Conductors to DIN 72551.
Material Safety Data Sheet available on request.
55E Performance highlights
Suitable for direct routing through high temperature areas without use of additional protection
or heat-shields.
Minimal deterioration of performance due to exposure to fluids, and can be used in
applications where it is continually immersed.
Suitable for use in the coldest countries - the insulation will remain flexible and will resist
stone damage at low temperatures.
Tough enough to be used in harnesses without conventional secondary protection, giving
cost, size and weight savings.
Supplied in barrels (if required) for fast automatic handling and lead preparation using
standard equipment.
