RE:Stranded wire spec

(OP)
I need to buy 24awg and 30awg stranded wire for military hardware(re-engineering project),the wire is teflon type.What military spec covers this type of wire? I did fin a mil spec for solid wire to be MIL-W-76, but need to know about stranded wire specs.

RE: RE:Stranded wire spec

I think you may be looking for MIL-W-22759 (for single conductor wire) or MIL-DTL-27500 (for multi conductor wire).

RE: RE:Stranded wire spec

fastfred:

This entire website is outstanding.  I discovered it just before Christmas last year, and I am constantly enjoying reading (and learning from) the forums.  I intend to be a long time reader and occasional contributor (when I have something of value to offer).

As for the specs, before you thank me make sure that's really what you need!  I appreciate the gratitude but I would hope I truly provided you information of value.

Something you should be aware of when using these two specs:  The numbers I gave you are the basic specs.  For each specific wire type under that main spec, there is a unique specification.  For example, under MIL-W-22759x (where x is the revision letter), there will be unique specifications of the format MIL-W-22759/16, MIL-W-22759/41, MIL-W-22759/43. etc.  These are just examples, there are many such unique specifications.  The same is true for MIL-DTL-27500.

So you will want both the basic spec, and then the unique specification for the wire you choose to use to be able define ALL it's properties.

Best regards,

Craig
