UL1589 30 V 80 °C PE Hook-Up Wire

UL1589 is a PE-insulated hook-up wire manufactured by Xinya Electronic Co., Ltd. It is rated 30 V, 80 °C. It is supplied in 14 recorded constructions spanning 22–30 AWG, with an overall diameter of 0.65–1.3 mm, cut to the length you order.

UL1589 at a glance

• 22–30 AWG, across 14 listed constructions
• Both solid (single-strand) and stranded conductors are listed — 5 solid and 9 stranded
• Insulation wall 0.19–0.27 mm
• Overall diameter 0.65–1.3 mm
• Max. conductor resistance 56.4–381 Ω/km at 20 °C DC (roughly 17.2–116.1 Ω per 1,000 ft)
• Routine withstand test on every listed row: 500 VAC, 1 min

How UL1589 compares with its nearest alternatives

UL1589 and UL1640 share the 30 V rating and 80 °C temperature rating. Overall diameter runs 0.65–1.3 mm for UL1589 against 0.45–1.3 mm for UL1640. UL1640 is the tighter of the two, so UL1589 is the option to take only when the larger diameter is acceptable. Insulation wall is 0.19–0.27 mm against 0.15–0.27 mm. Size coverage is 22–30 AWG against 22–36 AWG.

UL1589 and UL1792 share the 30 V rating and 80 °C temperature rating. Overall diameter runs 0.65–1.3 mm for UL1589 against 1.9–3.3 mm for UL1792. UL1589 is the tighter of the two where harness space is limited. Insulation wall is 0.19–0.27 mm against 0.32–0.8 mm. Size coverage is 22–30 AWG against 22–22 AWG.

Conductor construction and selection

Both conductor families are listed. Single-strand rows such as 1/0.254 at 30 AWG suit fixed routing and insulation-displacement termination, where the conductor is not flexed after installation. Stranded rows such as 7/0.10 at 30 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 UL1589 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 UL1589

Which sizes of UL1589 are available?

22–30 AWG, across the 14 constructions in the table below. Sizes outside the table can be quoted on request.

Can UL1589 be supplied in both solid and stranded conductor?

Yes. The documented range covers 14 constructions, of which 5 are single-strand and 9 are stranded. Give the construction, not only the AWG, when you request a quotation.

What overall diameter does UL1589 run to?

The documented range is 0.65–1.3 mm. Quote the size, not the style alone, when the diameter has to fit a specific gland, grommet or channel.
