Product overview

UL 1199 is the UL wire style for 600 V, 200 °C single-conductor wire with PTFE insulation. TEBAOFLEX makes it with an extruded PTFE wall over stranded silver-plated copper from 28 AWG to 8 AWG, with overall diameters from 1.47 mm at 28 AWG to 5.85 mm at 8 AWG.

The 200 °C rating gives headroom where a wire runs beside heaters, lamps, power resistors or transformer windings, or inside an enclosure that heats up in service. The PTFE wall also resists chemicals, oil and gasoline, as well as ozone, UV and humidity, so one wire type can serve both the hot and the contaminated parts of a machine.

Application & Features

UL 1199 is used for internal wiring where temperature is the limiting factor: heating and drying equipment, lighting fixtures, industrial machines, control cabinets that run warm, and electronic assemblies with hot components. Where a design uses a 150 °C wire and the measured conductor temperature leaves too little margin, UL 1199 keeps the 600 V rating and raises the limit to 200 °C.

Within the TEBAOFLEX PTFE range, compare UL 1198 for a 600 V PTFE wire over silver-plated copper rated 150 °C, UL 1180 for a 300 V, 200 °C PTFE wire, and UL 1570 for 600 V at 250 °C with mineral-filled PTFE over nickel-plated copper.

Construction

UL 1199 is a single-conductor wire with two layers: a stranded silver-plated copper conductor and one extruded PTFE wall.

  • Conductor: stranded copper: 7 strands at 28 AWG, 7 or 19 strands from 26 AWG to 20 AWG, 19 strands from 18 AWG to 12 AWG, 37 strands at 10 AWG and 133 strands at 8 AWG.
  • Plating: silver plating keeps the copper strands protected at the 200 °C rating.
  • Insulation: extruded PTFE, a non-flammable fluoropolymer that resists chemicals, oil, gasoline, ozone, UV and humidity.
  • Identification: insulation colour and UL or CSA surface marking are agreed with your order.

FAQ

What is UL 1199 wire?

UL 1199 is a UL wire style for single-conductor wire rated 600 V and 200 °C. The TEBAOFLEX version uses extruded PTFE insulation over stranded silver-plated copper, from 28 AWG to 8 AWG, for internal wiring of equipment that runs hot or is exposed to oil, gasoline and chemicals.

Should I choose UL 1199 or UL 1198?

Both are 600 V PTFE wires over silver-plated copper. UL 1198 is rated 150 °C and UL 1199 is rated 200 °C. Choose UL 1199 when the conductor may run above 150 °C or when you want margin in a hot enclosure; for 250 °C service, see UL 1570 with mineral-filled PTFE over nickel-plated copper.

Which sizes are available?

28 AWG to 8 AWG in 15 constructions, from 28/7 with a 1.47 mm overall diameter to 8/133 with 5.85 mm. The size table lists the copper weight and total weight of each construction in kg/km.

Raw Material Inspection

Every batch of copper rod, rubber compound and reinforcing material is checked before it reaches the line.

  • Copper: conductor resistance, elongation and surface condition on incoming rod and drawn wire
  • EPR, CPE, PUR and silicone compounds: hardness, tensile strength, elongation and ageing samples from each mix
  • Suppliers and batch numbers are recorded so every drum can be traced back to its materials

Manufacturing Process Control

Stranding, insulation extrusion, core assembly and sheathing run under recorded process parameters.

  • Class 5/6 stranding with lay length and tension monitored for trailing and reeling flexibility
  • Continuous-vulcanisation extrusion with wall thickness and spark tests logged on every length
  • Operators sign off each stage before the cable moves to the next machine
