About Wire and Cable

Variable-Frequency Drive Motor Cable

This cable is used in variable-frequency drive motors. It has a layer of braid and foil shielding that provides excellent protection against signal interference caused by voltage fluctuations and current spikes. The industry designation is WTTC, so it can be installed in cable trays or raceway in a wind turbine generator. It’s flame rated FT4 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with material mounted to a vertical tray. The insulation resists oil.

Cable with power wires sends electricity to run a motor. Cable with power and signal wires has an individually shielded pair of wires that connect to a brake or temperature sensor, reducing the number of cables used in areas with limited space.

Cable with three uninsulated ground wires pairs a ground wire with each power wire, so you can create multiple circuits from the same cable. These wires aren’t counted in the cable’s number of wires.

Wire with Polyethylene Outer Insulation: -40° to 190° F

Install this copper wire in conduit and cable trays in commercial and industrial buildings. It's also known as branch circuit wire. The outer jacket is designed to be installed without applying pulling lubricant.

Stranded wire is flexible, so it’s pliable enough to be pulled around corners. Wire with a polyethylene outer insulation resists abrasion and chemicals. It’s more flexible than nylon insulated wire.

XHHW-2 wire is for dry and wet locations where wire may be exposed to dripping or splashing liquid.

Build-Your-Own Amphenol Circuit Board Connectors

Attach wires to your circuit board with these Amphenol PV connectors. They push together, so they're easy to connect and disconnect yet still give you a strong, secure hold. Even after repeated use, they won’t lose their connection strength. First designed for use in solar power—the PV stands for photovoltaic—they’re also used in equipment ranging from small electronics to industrial robots.

For a complete connection, choose a plug and housing with the number of poles that matches the number of wires you need to connect. You’ll also need one sleeve for each wire.

Plugs have a friction clip to securely hold a housing when mated. An alignment key ensures the plug and housing are mated correctly, which is helpful when you can't get a good look during installation. To install a plug on your circuit board, push their contacts through the board's holes and solder them in place.

Crimpers (sold separately) are required to attach sleeves to your wires.
