UL10602 300 V 80 °C FRPE Hook-Up Wire

UL10602 is a FRPE-insulated hook-up wire manufactured by Xinya Electronic Co., Ltd. It is rated 300 V, 80 °C. It is supplied in 24 recorded constructions spanning 16–32 AWG, with an overall diameter of 0.7–11.45 mm, cut to the length you order.

UL10602 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 0.25–0.31 mm
• Overall diameter 0.7–11.45 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: 2000 VAC, 1 min

How UL10602 compares with its nearest alternatives

UL10602 and UL10800 share the 300 V rating and 80 °C temperature rating. Overall diameter runs 0.7–11.45 mm for UL10602 against 2.1–3.8 mm for UL10800. UL10800 is the tighter of the two, so UL10602 is the option to take only when the larger diameter is acceptable. Insulation wall is 0.25–0.31 mm against 0.4–0.46 mm. Size coverage is 16–32 AWG against 16–30 AWG.

UL10602 and UL3346 share the 80 °C temperature rating. The distinction is in voltage rating (300 V against 150 V). Overall diameter runs 0.7–11.45 mm for UL10602 against 0.75–2.15 mm for UL3346. UL3346 is the tighter of the two, so UL10602 is the option to take only when the larger diameter is acceptable. Insulation wall is 0.25–0.31 mm against 0.27–0.34 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 UL10602 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 UL10602

Which sizes of UL10602 are available?

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

Can UL10602 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 UL10602 run to?

The documented range is 0.7–11.45 mm. Quote the size, not the style alone, when the diameter has to fit a specific gland, grommet or channel.
