UL3266 XLPE Hook-Up Wire

UL3266 is a XLPE-insulated hook-up wire manufactured by Xinya Electronic Co., Ltd. It is supplied in 29 recorded constructions spanning 10–32 AWG, with an overall diameter of 1–4.3 mm, cut to the length you order.

UL3266 at a glance

• 10–32 AWG, across 29 listed constructions
• Both solid (single-strand) and stranded conductors are listed — 10 solid and 19 stranded
• Insulation wall 0.39–0.47 mm
• Overall diameter 1–4.3 mm
• Max. conductor resistance 3.54–595 Ω/km at 20 °C DC (roughly 1.1–181.4 Ω per 1,000 ft)
• Routine withstand test on every listed row: 2000 VAC, 1 min

How UL3266 compares with its nearest alternatives

UL3266 and UL3567 share the XLPE insulation. Overall diameter runs 1–4.3 mm for UL3266 against 1.05–2.7 mm for UL3567. UL3567 is the tighter of the two, so UL3266 is the option to take only when the larger diameter is acceptable. Size coverage is 10–32 AWG against 14–30 AWG.

UL3266 and UL3347 share the XLPE insulation. Overall diameter runs 1–4.3 mm for UL3266 against 1.1–2.4 mm for UL3347. UL3347 is the tighter of the two, so UL3266 is the option to take only when the larger diameter is acceptable. Insulation wall is 0.39–0.47 mm against 0.43–0.47 mm. Size coverage is 10–32 AWG against 16–30 AWG.

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 UL3266 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 UL3266

Which sizes of UL3266 are available?

10–32 AWG, across the 29 constructions in the table below. Sizes outside the table can be quoted on request.

Can UL3266 be supplied in both solid and stranded conductor?

Yes. The documented range covers 29 constructions, of which 10 are single-strand and 19 are stranded. Give the construction, not only the AWG, when you request a quotation.

What overall diameter does UL3266 run to?

The documented range is 1–4.3 mm. Quote the size, not the style alone, when the diameter has to fit a specific gland, grommet or channel.
