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.
