UL3265 150 V 125 °C XLPE Hook-Up Wire

UL3265 is a XLPE-insulated hook-up wire manufactured by Xinya Electronic Co., Ltd. It is rated 150 V, 125 °C. It is supplied in 24 recorded constructions spanning 16–32 AWG, with an overall diameter of 0.75–2.15 mm, cut to the length you order.

UL3265 at a glance

• 16–32 AWG, across 24 listed constructions
• Both solid (single-strand) and stranded conductors are listed — 9 solid and 15 stranded
• Insulation wall 0.27–0.34 mm
• Overall diameter 0.75–2.15 mm
• Max. conductor resistance 14–595 Ω/km at 20 °C DC (roughly 4.3–181.4 Ω per 1,000 ft)
• Routine withstand test on every listed row: 1500 VAC, 1 min

How UL3265 compares with its nearest alternatives

UL3265 and UL3346 share the 150 V rating and XLPE insulation. The distinction is in maximum conductor temperature (125 °C against 80 °C).

UL3265 and UL3271 share the 125 °C temperature rating and XLPE insulation. The distinction is in voltage rating (150 V against 600 V / 750 V). Overall diameter runs 0.75–2.15 mm for UL3265 against 1.9–5.05 mm for UL3271. UL3265 is the tighter of the two where harness space is limited. Insulation wall is 0.27–0.34 mm against 0.79–0.83 mm.

Conductor construction and selection

Both conductor families are listed. Single-strand rows such as 1/0.20 at 32 AWG suit fixed routing and insulation-displacement termination, where the conductor is not flexed after installation. Stranded rows such as 7/0.08 at 32 AWG flex repeatedly and are the usual choice for hand-soldered harnesses and anything that has to follow a moving path. Conductor resistance is the same at a given size, so the choice between them is mechanical rather than electrical.

How to read the UL3265 table

“Insulation O.D. (mm)” is measured over the insulation, not over a jacket, tape or braid. Conductor resistance is stated at 20 °C DC per kilometre — divide by 3.281 for ohms per 1,000 ft. The withstand column is a routine production test applied to finished lengths, not a continuous working voltage.

Questions buyers ask about UL3265

Which sizes of UL3265 are available?

16–32 AWG, across the 24 constructions in the table below. Sizes outside the table can be quoted on request.

Can UL3265 be supplied in both solid and stranded conductor?

Yes. The documented range covers 24 constructions, of which 9 are single-strand and 15 are stranded. Give the construction, not only the AWG, when you request a quotation.

What overall diameter does UL3265 run to?

The documented range is 0.75–2.15 mm. Quote the size, not the style alone, when the diameter has to fit a specific gland, grommet or channel.
