UL1316 600 V 105 °C PVC Hook-Up Wire

UL1316 is a PVC-insulated hook-up wire manufactured by Xinya Electronic Co., Ltd. It is rated 600 V, 105 °C. It is supplied in 16 recorded constructions spanning 12–26 AWG, with an overall diameter of 1.55–3.5 mm, cut to the length you order.

UL1316 at a glance

• 12–26 AWG, across 16 listed constructions
• Both solid (single-strand) and stranded conductors are listed — 8 solid and 8 stranded
• Insulation wall 0.38 mm
• Overall diameter 1.55–3.5 mm
• Max. conductor resistance 5.64–150 Ω/km at 20 °C DC (roughly 1.7–45.7 Ω per 1,000 ft)
• Routine withstand test on every listed row: 2000 VAC, 1 min

How UL1316 compares with its nearest alternatives

UL1316 and UL1015 share the 600 V rating and 105 °C temperature rating. Overall diameter runs 1.55–3.5 mm for UL1316 against 1.9–12 mm for UL1015. UL1316 is the tighter of the two where harness space is limited. Insulation wall is 0.38 mm against 0.79–2 mm. Size coverage is 12–26 AWG against 2–30 AWG.

UL1316 and UL1500 share the 600 V rating and 105 °C temperature rating. Insulation wall is 0.38 mm against 0.8–0.83 mm. Size coverage is 12–26 AWG against 16–24 AWG.

Conductor construction and selection

Both conductor families are listed. Single-strand rows such as 1/0.404 at 26 AWG suit fixed routing and insulation-displacement termination, where the conductor is not flexed after installation. Stranded rows such as 7/0.16 at 26 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 UL1316 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 UL1316

Which sizes of UL1316 are available?

12–26 AWG, across the 16 constructions in the table below. Sizes outside the table can be quoted on request.

Can UL1316 be supplied in both solid and stranded conductor?

Yes. The documented range covers 16 constructions, of which 8 are single-strand and 8 are stranded. Give the construction, not only the AWG, when you request a quotation.

What overall diameter does UL1316 run to?

The documented range is 1.55–3.5 mm. Quote the size, not the style alone, when the diameter has to fit a specific gland, grommet or channel.
