The M16878/11 (MIL-W-16878/11 / NEMA HP-4 Type K) is a medium-wall extruded FEP insulated wire with silver-plated copper conductors, purpose-built for applications where chemical resistance, temperature stability, and 600V capacity converge. FEP insulation delivers superior resistance to aggressive chemicals, UV radiation, and moisture, making it the go-to choice for marine electronics, chemical processing equipment, and outdoor industrial installations. The silver-plated copper conductor provides excellent conductivity and solderability, while tin-plated copper is also available as a cost-effective alternative for less demanding environments.
Superior Chemical & UV Resistance: FEP insulation withstands exposure to acids, alkalis, solvents, and prolonged UV radiation — ideal for chemical plants, outdoor installations, and marine environments.
600V Medium-Wall Rating: Perfectly suited for power distribution, motor leads, and control circuits in industrial machinery where 600V capacity is the standard requirement.
Silver-Plated Copper Standard: Excellent conductivity, solderability, and oxidation resistance for reliable terminations in demanding applications. Tin-plated copper available as a cost-effective option.
-60°C to +200°C Operating Range: Maintains flexibility and performance across extreme temperature cycles, suitable for both cryogenic and high-temperature industrial applications.
Flame Retardant & Self-Extinguishing: FEP material is inherently non-flammable, meeting critical fire safety requirements for industrial and marine wiring.
Excellent Moisture Barrier: The seamless extruded FEP insulation prevents moisture ingress, protecting conductor integrity in high-humidity or submerged environments.

Can the M16878/11 be used in submerged or underwater applications?
Yes. The seamless extruded FEP insulation provides excellent moisture barrier properties, and the silver-plated copper conductor resists corrosion in wet environments. The M16878/11 is suitable for submerged sensors, underwater instrumentation, and marine applications where long-term water exposure is expected.
What is the maximum continuous operating temperature for this wire?
The M16878/11 is rated for continuous operation at up to +200°C, with a low-temperature rating of -60°C. This makes it suitable for most industrial applications, though for temperatures above 200°C, consider the nickel-plated PTFE variants like M16878/25 or M16878/27.
Can I order this wire with tin-plated copper conductors?
Yes. While silver-plated copper is our standard configuration for optimal conductivity and solderability, we also offer tin-plated copper conductors as a cost-effective alternative for applications where extreme temperature performance is less critical.
