UL Style 3385 Electronic Wire

Product Overview

UL Style 3385 Electronic Wire is a premium-grade wiring solution tailored for internal wiring in electronic and electrical equipment. It stands out in the market due to its exceptional electrical performance, strict safety compliance, and adaptability to diverse operating environments. This wire is manufactured in full accordance with UL758 standard and UL1581 standard—two internationally recognized benchmarks that guarantee consistent reliability and safety in every application.

Key foundational specifications of UL Style 3385 Electronic Wire include a 105℃ temperature rating (enabling stable operation in high-heat scenarios) and a 300V voltage rating (ideal for low-voltage internal wiring needs). For conductors, the wire primarily uses tinned copper stranded material, which enhances corrosion resistance and conductivity; alternatively, bare copper stranded or solid copper conductor options are available, covering a wide gauge range from 32AWG to 10AWG to match different current and space requirements. The insulation layer is made of lead-free XLPO insulation, a material that not only ensures durability but also meets ROHS compliant wire standards, making it environmentally friendly and suitable for global markets.

Product Advantage

Superior Conductivity & Mechanical Strength

The use of tinned copper stranded conductor or bare copper conductor in UL Style 3385 Electronic Wire delivers two critical benefits: first, it provides electrical conductivity, minimizing signal or power loss during transmission; second, the stranded design enhances mechanical flexibility and strength, reducing the risk of breakage during installation or equipment vibration.

Durable & Eco-Friendly Insulation

Lead-free XLPO insulation is a standout feature of this wire. Unlike traditional insulation materials, XLPO offers superior thermal stability (supporting the 105℃ temperature rating) and resistance to aging, chemicals, and moisture—prolonging the wire’s service life. Additionally, its lead-free composition aligns with global environmental regulations, qualifying it as a ROHS compliant wire and eliminating concerns about harmful substance emissions.

Enhanced Fire Safety

UL Style 3385 Electronic Wire has successfully passed the UL FT2 flame test, a rigorous assessment that validates its flame-retardant properties. In the event of a fire, the wire slows the spread of flames and reduces smoke generation, providing an extra layer of safety for electronic equipment and surrounding components.

Easy Installation & Versatility

The wire features uniform insulation thickness, which simplifies stripping and cutting during installation—saving time for technicians and reducing errors. With gauge options from 32AWG to 10AWG, it can adapt to diverse needs, from small consumer electronics (requiring thin, flexible wires) to industrial machinery (needing thicker, high-current wires).

Product Uses

Consumer Electronics

UL Style 3385 Electronic Wire is an ideal choice for internal wiring in consumer electronics such as televisions, radios, laptops, and smartphones. Its small gauge options (e.g., 30AWG to 24AWG) fit into compact device enclosures, while the 105℃ temperature rating withstands heat generated by internal components like microchips and batteries.

Industrial Machinery

In industrial settings, this wire is used for internal wiring in machinery such as assembly line equipment, control panels, and sensors. The bare copper stranded conductor (or tinned variant) ensures reliable power transmission, and the lead-free XLPO insulation resists oil, dust, and mechanical wear—common in factory environments.

Communication Systems

For communication devices like routers, modems, and telecommunication switches, UL Style 3385 Electronic Wire facilitates stable signal transmission. Its low resistance (as specified in the technical parameters) minimizes signal interference, and compliance with UL758 standard ensures compatibility with global communication equipment safety requirements.

Household Appliances

The wire is also suitable for internal wiring in household appliances, including refrigerators, washing machines, and microwave ovens. The 300V voltage rating matches the low-voltage needs of these appliances, and the UL FT2 flame test certification adds safety for home use.

FAQ

What are the key features of UL Style 3385 Electronic Wire?

The key features of UL Style 3385 Electronic Wire include: a 105℃ temperature rating and 300V voltage rating for versatile operation; lead-free XLPO insulation that is both durable and ROHS compliant; conductor options (tinned copper stranded, bare copper stranded, or solid copper) in 32AWG to 10AWG gauges; compliance with UL758 standard and UL1581 standard; and passing the UL FT2 flame test for fire safety. These features make it suitable for a wide range of electronic and electrical internal wiring needs.

How to install and use UL Style 3385 Electronic Wire properly?

To ensure optimal performance and safety:

1. Install the wire in accordance with local electrical codes and UL758 standard guidelines.

2. Avoid excessive bending (ensure the bending radius is at least 4x the wire’s outer diameter) or stretching, as this can damage the lead-free XLPO insulation or conductor.

3. Use compatible connectors and terminations to secure the tinned copper stranded conductor (or other variants), preventing loose connections that cause overheating.

4. Regularly inspect the wire for signs of damage (e.g., insulation cracks, conductor exposure), especially in high-heat or high-vibration applications (e.g., industrial machinery).
