UL AWM Style 1007 / 18 AWG — Stranded Tinned Copper PVC Wire for Appliance Internal Wiring
This page covers the 18 AWG stranded tinned copper construction of UL AWM Style 1007, rated at 80°C maximum and 300 Vac, for the protected internal wiring of appliances and electronic equipment. A general UL 1007 Style overview covering the full 32–16 AWG range is available on the UL AWM 1007 product page. This page is intended for buyers procuring 18 AWG stranded tinned copper specifically, with confirmed construction data and procurement details for this size. CableApex supplies UL AWM Style 1007 18 AWG wire from factory production. UL AWM Style 1007 documentation is available for confirmed constructions on request.
18 AWG Construction Data — Confirmed Factory Specification
The table below shows the confirmed typical factory construction for 18 AWG stranded tinned copper UL AWM Style 1007 wire. These values represent a specific factory construction and are not universal UL Style 1007 requirements. Final conductor stranding, outer diameter, resistance, insulation dimensions, colour, marking, spool length, and documentation depend on the confirmed order specification.

Tinned Copper at 18 AWG — Termination and Assembly Notes
The tinned copper conductor construction of this 18 AWG product supports soldering, crimping, and automated stripping processes where the conductor construction, insulation dimensions, and processing equipment settings are confirmed to be compatible. Tin plating on the conductor surface provides stable solderability over the service life of the wire under normal storage and assembly conditions, and reduces surface oxidation at the copper-insulation interface compared to bare copper. These properties make this construction a commonly specified choice for appliance and electronic equipment internal hook-up wiring where tinned conductors are preferred for the termination method used in the assembly process.
Automated stripping performance depends on the insulation dimensions, PVC compound hardness, and stripper blade settings calibrated to the actual ordered construction. Confirm the insulation OD and compound characteristics at the enquiry stage if automated stripping is a production requirement.
Applications — Protected Internal Wiring of Appliances and Electronic Equipment
At 18 AWG, 80°C maximum, and 300 Vac, this UL AWM Style 1007 tinned copper construction is typically evaluated for stationary protected internal wiring inside enclosed appliance and electronic equipment assemblies. Application categories include:
- Internal lead wire connections inside consumer appliance assemblies where 18 AWG stranded tinned copper is specified for the termination method used
- Power supply unit internal hook-up wiring inside enclosed assemblies at 300V class where the 80°C temperature rating and 18 AWG cross-section meet the equipment design requirements
- Electronic equipment internal wiring at 18 AWG where tinned copper supports the soldering or crimping process used in the production assembly line
- OEM internal wiring where a fixed 18 AWG stranded tinned copper specification is confirmed and repeated across production runs
UL AWM Style 1007 is not designated for field wiring, building installation wiring, external cabling, or use outside protected internal equipment wiring. Where 600 Vac internal wiring is required, UL AWM Style 1015 PVC Hook-up Wire (105°C / 600V) is the appropriate higher-voltage PVC alternative.
