99M0111-20-92 - TE CONNECTIVITY

Applications

Type 99M wire has a dual

wall construction of radia-

tion cross-linked modified

polyester. This combines

excellent mechanical per-

formance and chemical

resistance with a range of

enhanced fire hazard

properties. Type 99M wire

is designed to meet the

stringent low fire hazard

performance now being

specified by the UK Naval

Defense Standard Authority

for ship wiring and cabling.

During the 1980’s there

were major changes in the

demands of many wire and

cable specifications to

reduce the risks associated

with all aspects of fire

hazards. Specifications

such as Def Stan 61-12

Part 18, have been devel-

oped over the last decade

demanding improved

performance of wires

and cables under fire

conditions.

This has led to a tightening

of the requirements for

flammability, smoke genera-

tion, corrosive gas genera-

tion and hazardous fume

emission. Type 99M wire

achieves these improve-

ments in performance

whilst retaining small size,

light weight, flexibility,

handleability, resistance to

carbon arc tracking and

resistance to chemicals

and fluids.

Physical Characteristics

Handleability

Type 99M wire has been

designed to be compatible

with modern wiring and

harnessing techniques.

It is a flexible wire with virtu-

ally no springback once

set. It is easily stripped with

tools such as conventional

die-blade strippers.

Small Size

Type 99M equipment wire

has a nominal 0.2 mm insu-

lation wall thickness which

is comparable to other

established thin wall wires

such as SPEC 44 wire.

Light Weight

Type 99M wire is designed

to have the same weights

as SPEC 44 wire.
