UL AWM Style 3071 — Silicone Rubber Wire with Fiberglass Braid Covering for Appliance Internal Wiring

UL AWM Style 3071 is a single-conductor extruded silicone rubber wire with a fibrous braid covering, rated at 200°C maximum and 600 Vac, for the protected internal wiring of appliances. The Style covers 18 AWG through 13 AWG and is covered under UL Subject 758, Section 3. CableApex supplies UL AWM Style 3071 from factory production. UL AWM Style 3071 documentation is available for confirmed constructions on request. Marking and documentation depend on the qualified ordered construction.

Typical Construction Data — UL AWM Style 3071

UL AWM Style 3071 covers 18 AWG through 13 AWG. The table below shows typical factory-supplied constructions for three commonly ordered AWG sizes within this range. Conductor stranding, braid thickness, and outer diameter figures are typical production values. Final conductor construction, covering finish, dimensions, markings, packaging, and documentation depend on the confirmed order specification. 13 AWG is within the Style range; confirm availability and construction data at the enquiry stage.

Applications — Protected Internal Wiring of Appliances

UL AWM Style 3071 is designated for the internal wiring of appliances. The fiberglass braid covering adds a degree of surface protection and structural reinforcement compared to extruded-only silicone rubber constructions such as UL AWM Style 3135. At 200°C maximum and 600 Vac across the 18–13 AWG range, constructions under this Style are typically evaluated for high-temperature protected internal wiring inside enclosed appliance assemblies where both the 200°C silicone rubber temperature class and the additional surface protection of a fiberglass braid covering are required by the equipment design. Application categories include:

  • Protected internal appliance wiring located in high-temperature zones within enclosed equipment assemblies where a braid-covered construction is specified
  • Internal lead wire connections inside enclosed appliance assemblies operating in elevated-temperature environments where the fiberglass braid covering provides additional surface reinforcement at the wire routing points
  • High-temperature appliance internal wiring where 200°C / 600 Vac rated silicone rubber AWM wire with a fiberglass covering is required by the equipment-level evaluation
  • OEM internal wiring inside enclosed appliance enclosures where the ordered UL AWM 3071 construction supports the equipment thermal design and the wiring is located away from direct contact with heating elements or open flame

UL AWM Style 3071 is not designated for direct contact with heating elements, furnace chamber interiors, or open flame. It is not designated for field wiring, building wiring, or external cabling. Current-carrying capacity and thermal derating must be confirmed at the equipment design level.

UL 3071 vs UL 3135 and UL 3122 — Selecting Within the Silicone AWM Family

UL AWM Style 3135 (200°C / 600 Vac, 26–12 AWG, extruded SR only, no braid covering) provides the same temperature and voltage class without a fiberglass braid covering, and covers a wider AWG range including sizes finer than 18 AWG. Where the equipment design specifies a braid-covered construction at 600 Vac and 18–13 AWG, UL 3071 is the appropriate Style. Where the equipment design requires 600 Vac silicone rubber AWM wire without a covering requirement, or conductor sizes outside 18–13 AWG, UL 3135 should be evaluated instead. UL AWM Style 3122 (200°C / 300 Vac, 26–16 AWG, extruded SR with lacquered braid) is the lower-voltage braided silicone alternative where only 300 Vac is required. UL AWM Style 3172 (200°C / 600 Vac, 26–18 AWG, extruded SR with glass or aramid braid) is an alternative braided construction at the same temperature and voltage class but covering a different AWG range; confirm the specific covering construction and AWG requirements at the enquiry stage.
