Description

AWM UL2464 PVC Insulated Electronic Wire | 80°C 300V | VW-1/FT1 | 16-22AWG 2-10C

Product Overview:

The AWM Style 2464 is a UL-recognized multi-conductor cable designed for internal wiring and power connections within appliances and electronic equipment. Certified to UL Standard 2464 and compliant with UL VW-1 and CSA FT1 vertical flame tests, it provides reliable electrical performance and safety for basic power transmission and control circuits.

Featuring tinned copper conductors, color-coded PVC insulation, and a flame-retardant PVC jacket, this non-shielded cable offers cost-effective connectivity for applications not requiring EMI protection.

Conductor DC Resistance: Complies with UL 1581 Table 20.1 for stranded tinned copper.

Construction & Materials:

  1. Conductor: High-flexibility stranded tinned copper (16, 18, 20, or 22 AWG). Tinning enhances solderability and corrosion resistance.

  2. Insulation: Individual color-coded PVC insulation on each conductor for identification and electrical isolation.

  3. Core Assembly: Insulated conductors laid parallel (no twisting mentioned in spec).

  4. Jacket: Outer PVC jacket providing mechanical protection (abrasion, cut) and VW-1/FT1 flame retardancy.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Flame Safety: Meets critical UL VW-1 & CSA FT1 vertical flame tests.

  • Solderable & Durable: Tinned copper ensures excellent solderability and long-term conductivity.

  • High Flexibility: Fine-strand conductors allow routing in tight spaces.

  • Basic Protection: PVC insulation and jacket resist abrasion and cuts.

  • Easy Identification: Color-coded conductors simplify installation.

  • Cost-Effective: Economical solution for non-EMI-sensitive applications.

  • Certified Compliance: UL Recognized (Style 2464) and CSA certified for internal wiring.

Typical Applications:

Designed for non-shielded internal wiring in appliances and electronics:

  • Appliance Internal Wiring: Power supplies, control boards, switches, heaters (washers, dryers, ovens).

  • Electronics: Internal connections in printers, scanners, power adapters.

  • Lighting Systems: Wiring for LED drivers and fixtures.

  • Basic Control Circuits: Low-voltage control wiring without EMI concerns.

  • General Hook-up Wire: Point-to-point connections within enclosures.

Engineering Selection Guide:

  • Voltage: Max 300V AC/DC.

  • Temperature: Do not exceed +80°C conductor temperature.

  • Environment: Indoor use only within enclosures. Not for wet locations or UV exposure.

  • EMI Warning: No shielding – not suitable for noise-sensitive signal applications.
