conditions.
The flame retarded insulation has
outstanding mechanical properties and
chemical resistance. It provides the
balance of flexibility and toughness
required for modern vehicle wiring and
harnessing and is easy to handle in
production using standard lead
preparation equipment.
Type 62 wire is available in two different
insulation wall thicknesses to give a
choice of sealing options.

62E Performance highlights
Suitable for direct routing through high temperature areas without use of additional protection or
heat-shields.
Minimal deterioration of performance due to exposure to fluids, and can be used in applications
where it is continually immersed.
Suitable for use in the coldest countries - the insulation will remain flexible and will resist
stone damage at low temperatures.
Tough enough to be used in harnesses without conventional secondary protection, giving cost,
size and weight savings.
Supplied in barrels (if required) for fast automatic handling and lead preparation using standard
equipment.
