UL 1332 26 AWG FEP Wire | 200°C 300V Internal Wiring

Confirming a 26 AWG UL 1332 FEP Requirement Before Quotation

A BOM line that reads “UL 1332, 26 AWG, FEP” is specifying a defined construction within the broader UL AWM Style 1332 conductor range of 30 AWG through 10 AWG. Before that line item gets quoted or approved, it’s worth verifying that the base rating, insulation requirement, and any optional features your project needs actually match the confirmed Style 1332 data — rather than assuming every “1332” listing on the market is identical. This page defines exactly what UL 1332 at 26 AWG covers, and flags the details that still need to be specified separately.

300 Vac Base Rating vs the Optional 600 V Peak Marking

This distinction matters and is easy to get wrong. UL 1332’s base electrical rating is 300 Vac — that is the continuous voltage rating for this Style. Separately, a qualified UL 1332 construction may carry an optional tag indicating “600 V Peak — For Electronic Use Only.” This tag does not mean UL 1332 is continuously rated 600 Vac. This page does not describe UL 1332 as a “600V wire,” a “300V/600V wire,” or “rated up to 600V” — the base rating remains 300 Vac throughout, and the 600 V Peak marking is a separate, optional, electronic-use-only provision that applies only where the specific ordered construction carries it.

Optional Covering: Not Standard on Every UL 1332 Order

UL Style 1332 permits an optional covering over the FEP-insulated conductor — either extruded FEP at 2 mils or heavier, or glass braid at 7 mils or heavier. This is an optional construction feature, not a default. This page does not write as if every UL 1332 wire ships with an outer covering; a standard order may need clarification on whether an optional covering is actually required. If your BOM calls for a covering, specify which type — FEP or glass braid — and confirm it against the qualified construction before quotation.

Optional Oil and Gasoline Resistance

UL Style 1332 may also include an Oil Resistant 80°C rating and/or a Gasoline Resistant rating. These are never presented here as universal properties of every UL 1332 construction — oil-resistant or gasoline-resistant construction may be available where specifically qualified and required for the ordered construction. If either is required for your application, state it explicitly in your RFQ rather than assuming it is included by default.

26 AWG: Conductor Construction and Material Still Require Confirmation

UL Style 1332 covers 30 AWG through 10 AWG, solid or stranded round. This page specifically targets the 26 AWG configuration — not a general overview of the full Style range. The Style data does not establish a universal conductor material or plating, so this page does not automatically claim UL 1332 wire is tinned copper, bare copper, silver-plated copper, nickel-plated copper, OFC, oxygen-free copper, or 99.99% copper. Conductor material and plating must be separately confirmed for the ordered construction if your project has a specific requirement.

What UL 1332 Does Not Automatically Define for a 26 AWG Order

The Style does not automatically provide one universal value for: conductor material, conductor plating, strand count, individual strand diameter, conductor resistance, finished OD, ampacity, bend radius, flex cycles, standard colour, stock availability, MOQ, lead time, reel length, or cut length. None of these are invented on this page — please specify the items relevant to your project when requesting a quotation.

Where a 26 AWG UL 1332 Specification Fits

The confirmed UL 1332 use is internal wiring of appliances. Realistic commercial purchasing contexts for this construction include internal appliance leads, compact high-temperature internal circuits, control assemblies, temperature-exposed internal connections, electronic equipment internal harnesses, and internal terminal-to-component leads. These are application contexts a buyer may bring to this page — this page does not expand UL 1332 into external installation, building wiring, branch circuits, conduit wire, field wiring, external equipment cable, portable cord, tray cable, or general power distribution.
