NEMA HP 5 Type “L” EXRAD is designed primarily for New Military Equipment and Applications. NEMA HP 5 Type “L” EXRAD replaces and improves the design of MIL-DTL 16878/14 requirements (specification rendered inactive). It is a high performance wire built to handle increasingly harsh, adverse environments. It is an irradiation cross-linked polyolefin with impressive properties. It significantly reduces wire and harness routing headaches because it is more heat resistant, installation & application tough with more fluid resistant than previous designs.

NEMA HP 5 Type “L” EXRAD is rated at 150°C, but it survives temperatures to 240°C and higher. It is safer in overload conditions as it will not melt or prematurely soften.

NEMA HP 5 Type “L” EXRAD creates opportunities to eliminate unnecessary and expensive convoluted tubing, tapes and heat shields that protect inferior wire systems.

NEMA HP 5 Type “L” EXRAD processes very well on automated high speed cut and strip equipment. This advantageous processing feature will provide ideally suited product for equipment and applications where heat protection, long life and less expensive wiring harnesses are required.
