More Information

In this section materials for cabling and connection can be found that withstand higher than normal temperatures.

  • high temperature connectors
  • kettle plugs and sockets
  • multi-pin connectors for moulds and hotrunners
  • braiding, sleeving, sprague tubing for insulation
  • nickel wire
  • nickel lugs

Accessories for heating applications

Conventional plugs, sockets, connectors, cables and insulations are not suitable for applications where heat is generated or cabling is run in areas of excessive temperatures. Many connectors and normal cable insulations are made of PVC which will be melting and degrading from around 100°C onward.
It should also be noted that copper becomes brittle if subjected to higher temperatures. Many breakdowns in industry are due to copper cabling and plated copper lugs being used to connect heating elements.
In these cases only nickel wire and nickel lugs should be used - specifically so, because production machinery generates vibration through motors and movement, leading to failures on copper connections.
