MIL-W-16878/21 PTFE insulated equipment wire is a 600V, tape-wrapped aerospace hook-up wire built to MIL-W-16878/21 and NEMA HP-3 TYPE E. It uses a silver-plated copper stranded conductor with sintered PTFE tape insulation, delivering medium-wall construction, high dielectric strength, and reliable performance in demanding internal wiring applications.
For engineers comparing options in the MIL-W-16878 family, M16878/21 wire sits between thin-wall and extruded constructions. It offers higher voltage capability than M16878/20 and greater flexibility than extruded M16878/4, making it a practical choice when 600V rating and routability both matter.
600V AC rating: Medium-wall PTFE insulation supports higher voltage equipment wiring.
-60°C to +200°C operation: Suitable for continuous high-temperature use, with short-term tolerance up to 300°C.
Tape-wrapped PTFE construction: More flexible than extruded PTFE, easier to route in dense harnesses.
Silver-plated copper conductor: Provides good conductivity, solderability, and high-temperature performance.
Self-extinguishing insulation: PTFE does not melt or drip in flame and supports safer equipment design.
Strong chemical and moisture resistance: Resists acids, alkalis, solvents, UV, ozone, and humidity.
Stable electrical performance: High dielectric strength, low dielectric loss, and high volume resistivity.

A: MIL-W-16878/21 is a 600V PTFE insulated equipment wire with tape-wrapped insulation and a silver-plated copper stranded conductor. It is widely used for aerospace, industrial, and high-reliability equipment wiring.
A: Yes. M16878/21 is the common short designation for MIL-W-16878/21.
A: M16878/21 is rated for 600V AC, making it suitable for equipment wiring that requires higher voltage capability than thin-wall 250V types.
A: M16878/21 uses medium-wall tape-wrapped PTFE and is rated for 600V, while M16878/20 uses thin-wall tape-wrapped PTFE and is rated for 250V.
A: Both are 600V, but M16878/21 is tape-wrapped and generally more flexible, while M16878/4 is extruded PTFE with a more uniform wall.
A: Yes. The standard silver-plated copper version supports continuous operation from -60°C to +200°C.
A: Yes. PTFE tape-wrapped insulation resists soldering temperatures without melting or shrinking.
A: We typically supply 32–10 AWG. Custom strand constructions and other sizes can be quoted on request.
A: Yes. We support standard colors, custom color matching, striping, cut-to-length, and special packaging.
A: RoHS-compliant options are available. Please confirm your requirement when requesting a quote.
