EXRAD® 150A MIL-PLUS “16”
EXRAD 150A MIL-Plus is a high performance battery cable designed specifically for Military Vehicles and Equipment. This product meets MIL-DTL16878/16, NEMA HP 5 “LX” and SAEJ1127 GXL requirements. As engine compartments grow smaller, operating temperatures get hotter and electronics proliferate under the hood, EXRAD 150A MIL-Plus battery cable fulfills these demands.
EXRAD 150A MIL-Plus battery cable has an irradiated cross-linked polyolefin insulation able to withstand temperatures of 240°C and higher. EXRAD 150A MIL-Plus can provide the solution to the complex demands of the current military environments. Thinner and lighter than other conventional battery cables, it is flexible enough for easy routing yet tough enough to withstand the roughest environments. The end result is a Military Vehicles and Equipment wire ideally suited to applications where a combination of flexibility, long life and performance is required.
- High Temperature Rating: 150°C
