SuperFlex

SUPERFLEXblk“Superflex” single conductor wire is commonly comprised of soft bare or tinned copper in basic sizes 36 AWG through 44 AWG which are configured into a high strand count of bunched or rope lay conductor. Typical strand configurations are outlined in the table below (or here for a PDF printable version), others are available if needed.
Specially formulated insulators, most often polyvinyl chloride or thermoplastic rubber, provide a soft and pliable insulation.

The combination of these characteristics results in an extremely limp and flaccid wire which will provide a high fatigue or flex life in applications subjected to a large number of bends or flexes.

For extremely severe flex-life, fatigue strength, or tensile strength requirements, Superflex may also be fabricated with high strength cadmium copper alloy (or RoHS compliant cadmium – free alloy) conductors. A wide range of Tinsel conductors are also available to use in selected (usually very low current) Superflex designs requiring the ultimate in flex-life and limpness.

Superflex can also be furnished in ripcord configuration of two or more wires, in shielded and jacketed cable, multi-conductor cable, retractile cords and other assemblies.
