Electrical Properties of 150°C Silicone Insulated Wires


1. Dielectric Strength:

Dielectric Constant (ε): Silicone insulated wires typically exhibit a low dielectric constant, which influences their ability to store electrical energy and affects signal propagation.

Dielectric Strength: Silicone rubber offers good dielectric strength, which is the maximum electric field that the insulation can withstand without breaking down.


2. Insulation Resistance:

Insulation Resistance (IR): Silicone insulated wires maintain high insulation resistance over a wide range of temperatures, ensuring reliable performance in electrical circuits.

Volume Resistivity: Silicone rubber has a high volume resistivity, indicating its ability to resist the flow of electric current through the insulation material.


3. Capacitance:

Capacitance per Unit Length: The capacitance of silicone insulated wires depends on the dielectric constant of the silicone material and the geometry of the wire.

Capacitive Coupling: Capacitance between adjacent wires can affect signal integrity and interference in high-frequency applications.


4. Breakdown Voltage:

DC Breakdown Voltage: Silicone insulation typically exhibits a high DC breakdown voltage, ensuring protection against electrical breakdown under high voltage conditions.

AC Breakdown Voltage: The AC breakdown voltage is important for AC applications and determines the maximum voltage that the insulation can withstand without breakdown.


5. Voltage Rating:

Voltage Rating: Silicone insulated wires are designed to withstand specific voltage levels without electrical breakdown.

Maximum Operating Voltage (MO): Ensure that the wire's voltage rating matches the application's requirements to prevent insulation failure.


6. Frequency Response:

Frequency Range: Silicone insulated wires are suitable for high-frequency applications due to their low loss tangent and stable electrical properties across a broad frequency spectrum.

Attenuation: Evaluate the wire's attenuation characteristics at different frequencies to ensure minimal signal loss in communication and RF applications.


7. Temperature Coefficient:

Temperature Stability: Silicone rubber insulation maintains stable electrical properties over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for high-temperature environments.

Temperature Coefficient of Resistance: Consider the change in electrical resistance with temperature to assess performance under varying operating conditions.


8. Resistance to Environmental Factors:

Moisture Resistance: Silicone insulation provides excellent moisture resistance, reducing the risk of insulation breakdown in humid or wet conditions.

Chemical Resistance: Evaluate the wire's resistance to chemicals and solvents commonly encountered in industrial or outdoor environments.


Environmental Compatibility of 150°C Silicone Insulated Wires


1. Temperature Resistance:

High Temperature Tolerance: Silicone rubber can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 150°C (and higher for short durations), making it suitable for applications where exposure to heat is common.

Thermal Stability: Silicone insulation maintains its mechanical and electrical properties over a wide temperature range, ensuring performance in both high-temperature and low-temperature environments.


2. Moisture Resistance:

Water Resistance: Silicone insulated wires exhibit excellent resistance to moisture, preventing water ingress and maintaining insulation integrity even in humid or wet conditions.

IP Rating Compatibility: Suitable for applications requiring protection against water and dust ingress as per IP (Ingress Protection) ratings.


3. Chemical Compatibility:

Chemical Resistance: Silicone rubber is resistant to many chemicals, including acids, alkalis, oils, and solvents commonly encountered in industrial environments.

Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for use in corrosive environments where other insulation materials may degrade or corrode.


4. UV and Weather Resistance:

UV Stability: Silicone insulation offers good UV resistance, minimizing degradation and discoloration when exposed to sunlight over extended periods.

Weather Resistance: Silicone rubber maintains flexibility and performance in outdoor environments, resisting ozone and weathering effects.


5. Non-Toxic and Inert:

Non-Toxic Material: Silicone rubber is non-toxic and does not release harmful substances when exposed to heat or environmental conditions, making it safe for various applications including food and medical sectors.

Inertness: Silicone insulation does not react with most substances, ensuring compatibility with different materials and environments.


6. Fungus and Mildew Resistance:

Fungal Resistance: Silicone rubber is inherently resistant to fungal growth and mildew, making it suitable for applications in damp or humid environments.


7. Environmental Compliance:

RoHS Compliance: Silicone insulated wires are typically RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, free from hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and certain flame retardants.

REACH Compliance: Compliant with REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations for chemical safety.
