Product Overview

MIL-W-16878/27 is a 260°C high temperature wire rated for 1000V AC, featuring extruded PTFE insulation and a nickel-plated copper conductor. Compliant with NEMA HP-3 Type EE, this heavy-wall cable delivers superior abrasion resistance and moisture protection through its monolithic insulation wall — making it the go-to industrial equipment wiring solution for oil & gas, power generation, and harsh process environments where dielectric integrity must be maintained over decades.
Available in 32–10 AWG with solid and stranded conductor options, M16878/27 combines the voltage headroom of a 1000V class with the thermal endurance of nickel plating, filling a critical niche between 600V medium-wall types and lower-rated mili-tary specifications.

Key Features

260°C high-temperature rating — nickel-plated copper conductor remains stable at temperatures where silver plating oxidizes and degrades

1000V AC heavy-wall dielectric strength — extruded PTFE provides robust insulation for high-voltage power distribution and instrument wiring

Monolithic extruded wall — seamless insulation layer delivers superior abrasion resistance and a continuous moisture barrier, outperforming tape-wrapped constructions in rugged environments

Solder-iron resistant — PTFE insulation survives soldering temperatures without melting, shrinking, or losing dielectric strength for reliable field terminations

Chemical inertness — resistant to drilling fluids, hydraulic oils, fuels, acids, solvents, and hydrocarbons commonly found in energy sector and industrial applications

Broad AWG range — 32–10 AWG covers everything from delicate sensor leads to high-current power feeds, with multi-strand configurations available

M16878/27 vs M16878/28:Selection Guide

Both types share the same nickel-plated copper conductor, 260°C rating, 1000V class, and heavy-wall profile — the insulation method determines which one fits your application:

Selection Factor M16878/27 (Extruded) M16878/28 (Tape-Wrapped)
Insulation Build Extruded PTFE (monolithic) PTFE tape-wrapped & sintered
Flexibility Moderate — stiffer profile Excellent — conforms to tight bends
Bend Recovery Fair — retains bend shape Superior — springs back after flexing
Abrasion Resistance Excellent — solid wall shields conductor Good — layered construction
Moisture Barrier Superior — monolithic seal Effective — sintered tape barrier
Vibration Tolerance Good — rigid wall High — layers dampen mechanical energy
Ideal Use Case Fixed installs, abrasive environments, subsea Dynamic routing, tight spaces, vibration-heavy

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is MIL-W-16878/27 wire used for?A: MIL-W-16878/27 is a 260°C high temperature wire with extruded PTFE insulation and nickel-plated copper conductor, rated for 1000V AC. Equivalent to NEMA HP-3 Type EE, it is designed for high-voltage, high-temperature applications in oil & gas, power generation, and industrial processing where abrasion resistance and moisture protection are critical.
Q: How does M16878/27 differ from M16878/28?A: Both are 1000V heavy-wall types with nickel-plated copper conductors and 260°C ratings. The difference is insulation method: M16878/27 uses extruded PTFE (better abrasion resistance, superior moisture barrier, stiffer), while M16878/28 uses tape-wrapped PTFE (better flexibility, superior bend recovery, more vibration resistant). Select based on your mechanical routing requirements.
Q: Can M16878/27 replace M16878/25?A: Both use nickel-plated copper conductors and extruded PTFE insulation at 260°C. However, M16878/27 is heavy-wall rated for 1000V, while M16878/25 is medium-wall rated for 600V. They serve different voltage classes and are not direct substitutes unless your system voltage is 600V or below.
Q: What AWG sizes are available for M16878/27?A: MIL-W-16878/27 is available in 32–10 AWG with solid and stranded conductor options, including specialized multi-strand constructions such as 37/26 for the 10 AWG size. Specific strand configurations can be quoted on request.
Q: Can I solder terminations directly to M16878/27?A: Yes. The extruded PTFE insulation withstands soldering iron temperatures without melting, shrinking, or deforming, ensuring clean and reliable terminations even in remote field conditions.
Q: What makes nickel-plated copper better than silver-plated copper for high temperature?A: Nickel plating remains stable at temperatures up to 260°C, whereas silver plating can degrade, oxidize, or migrate at elevated temperatures, leading to increased contact resistance and potential failure. For applications running above 200°C, nickel plating is the preferred conductor finish.
Q: Is M16878/27 RoHS compliant?A: RoHS-compliant options are available. Please confirm your requirement when requesting a quote.
