EXRAD® 150A MIL-PLUS “15”

EXRAD 150A MIL-Plus is specifically designed to address Commercial & Military Vehicles and Equipment. This product meets MIL-DTL 16878/15, NEMA HP 5 “LL” and SAE J1128 TXL requirements. It is a high performance wire built to handle the increasingly brutal environment. It is an irradiation cross-linked polyolefin with impressive properties. It significantly reduces wire and harness routing headaches because it is more heat resistant, tougher and more fluid resistant than TXL.

EXRAD 150A MIL-Plus is rated at 150°C, but it survives temperatures to 240°C and higher. It is safer in overload conditions because it will not melt.

EXRAD 150A MIL-Plus creates opportunities to eliminate unnecessary and expensive convolute tubing, tapes and heat shields that protect inferior wire systems. EXRAD 150A MIL-Plus has a life expectancy over 10,000 hours at 125°C.

EXRAD 150A MIL-Plus processes very well on automated high speed cut and strip equipment. The end result is Vehicle and Equipment wire ideally suited to applications where heat protection, long life and less expensive wiring harnesses are required.

  • High Temperature Rating: 150°C
  • Low Temperature Rating: -40°C
  • Voltage Rating: 1000V
