The M27500 WC and WE cables are high-performance, shielded multi-conductor cables engineered for mission-critical applications where weight reduction and extreme temperature resistance are paramount. Constructed to strictly comply with MIL-DTL-22759/81 (Type WC) and MIL-DTL-22759/82 (Type WE) standards, these cables utilize a sophisticated construction of high-strength copper alloy conductors and a lightweight composite insulation.
Featuring a durable FEP/Polyimide tape jacket and a nickel-plated copper braid shield, the M27500 series delivers superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and harsh environmental factors. With a voltage rating of 600V and an operating temperature range of -55°C to 200°C, this cable is the definitive choice for reliable power and signal transmission in aerospace and defense systems.
-
Q: What is the difference between M27500 WC and WE cable types?
A: The primary difference lies in the conductor plating. Type WC (per MIL-DTL-22759/81) features silver-plated conductors, while Type WE (per MIL-DTL-22759/82) features nickel-plated conductors, which offer higher temperature resistance.
-
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature?
A: These cables are rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 200°C, making them ideal for high-heat environments like engine nacelles.
-
Q: What materials make up the jacket and insulation?
A: The insulation is a lightweight composite of PTFE/Polyimide/PTFE tape. The outer jacket consists of an inner layer of FEP/Polyimide tape and an outer layer of PTFE tape.
-
Q: What is the shielding coverage for this multi-core power cable?
A: The multi-core power cables feature a nickel-plated copper braid shield with 85% coverage, providing excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
-
Q: Can I get custom cable assemblies made with these M27500 WC and WE cables?
A: Yes. We offer full customization services, including cutting to length, stripping, tinning, and installing mili-tary standard connectors to meet your specific system requirements.
-
Q: Is this cable lightweight?
A: Yes, the use of high-strength copper alloy conductors and thin-wall composite insulation significantly reduces weight compared to standard copper cables, which is critical for aerospace applications.
-
Q: What is the voltage rating?
A: The M27500 WC and WE cables have a voltage rating of 600V.
-
Q: Does this product meet mili-tary specifications?
A: Yes, these cables are manufactured to meet MIL-DTL-22759/81 and MIL-DTL-22759/82 standards and NEMA WC 27500.
