PRODUCT CODE: NY/NY

Our customers have grown to expect only the highest quality products from PMC A Division of R-SCC. The nylon/nylon design incorporates both ruggedness and compactness, while allowing for reduced amounts of insulation thus providing a miniaturized construction. The individual conductors are insulated with extruded nylon, laid parallel, and jacketed with extruded nylon. This construction provides a tough product with high tensile, impact and flexural resistance. It has excellent resistance to abrasion and is unaffected by most alkalis, oil, grease, dilute mineral acids and most organic acids. It is inert to most organic solvents including hydraulic fluid and aviation oil.

Nylon was introduce by Dupont in the 1930's and is the generic name for a family of polyamide resins with similar but not identical chemical compositions. Nylon burns slowly when exposed to direct flame but is self extinguishing when the ignitions source is removed. As a class, nylons will absorb water until the reach equilibrium condition with the operational environment. Because this can be temporarily modify certain mechanical and electrical characteristics until the nylon dries out, we do not recommend this construction for high moisture applications. Nylon resin can be made to provide several properties; from the standpoint of chemical, physical, and electrical characteristics, each represents a compromise. Therefore, PMC formulates its insulations to give optimum or required values to the critical properties, without permitting less critical properties to fall to unacceptable levels.

The thermocouple grade products shown are used to form temperature sensors and the extension grade products become the interconnecting link in the temperature sensing systems.

Suggested operating range is -85°F to 248°F (-65°C to 120°C). The insulations are color coded to ANSI standards. A clear jacket is then applied for quick identification of conductors and calibration.

You will find our qualified sales and engineering staff eager to assist in selecting a design to meet the requirements of your specific application.

NOTE: Percent limits apply directly to temperature in °C units, but for °F equivalents are applied to the numbers of °F above or below the ice point (+32°F).
(i.e. Limit (°F) = (Temp. °F-32°F) x Percentage)
Thermocouple wire cannot be expected to meet the limits of error at temperatures below the ice point unless specified at time of purchase.
