Used extensively for both electrical and electronic equipment, Hook- Up Wires are required to perform in increasingly critical environments.  Cost-effective production methods necessitate uniform wire handling characteristics:  strippability, strand uniformity, precise dimensions, and permanent colors and markings.  Industry trends such as miniaturization, plus new environmental and product liability considerations require improved Insulation materials.

So Alpha offers the highest quality Hook- Up Wires in a broader-than-ever range of Insulation materials, sizes, colors and packaging to quickly and efficiently meet the new demands in the marketplace.  All are available in ready-to-use form, from 100 feet to production requirements.

PVC Polyvinylchloride, sometimes referred to as PVC or vinyl, is the most widely used Insulation for wiring electrical or electronic equipment.  PVC is inherently flame-retardant and used in most normal environments and applications.

Irradiated PVC Special PVC treated with electron beam radiation to improve temperature and solder iron resistance.  Used extensively in high density wiring.

Irradiated Polyolefin Special radiation Cross-linked polyolefin Insulation for 125°C wiring.  Used as low-cost alternative to Teflon® where temperatures exceed the capabilities of PVC.

TFE Teflon® High-performance Insulation with temperature range of -65° to 200°C.  Teflon® is chemically inert and unaffected by solvents, making it the ideal Insulation for extreme temperature or chemical environments.

It's easy to find the exact Hook- Up Wire Insulation you need - it's listed in the chart below.

This section contains a complete listing of Alpha hook-up wires, laid out by type of Insulation materials.  Within each type of Insulation material, products are listed in the order of ascending Temperature Rating, and within Temperature Rating, ascending voltage. Simply find the product that fits your needs.
