UL AWM Style 1569 — PVC Wire for Stationary Protected Internal Wiring
UL AWM Style 1569 is a single-conductor extruded PVC wire for the internal wiring of appliances and electronic equipment where the wire is not subjected to movement or mechanical damage, covered under UL Subject 758, Section 1. The Style covers 30 AWG–2 AWG at 80°C, 90°C, or 105°C maximum and 300 Vac. This page focuses on the marketed 105°C / 300V construction. Other temperature classes within the Style scope are available and should be confirmed at the quotation stage. CableApex supplies UL AWM Style 1569 PVC wire from factory production. UL AWM Style 1569 documentation is available for confirmed constructions on request.

Typical Construction Data — Selected AWG Sizes
UL AWM Style 1569 covers 30 AWG through 2 AWG. The table below shows selected typical factory-supplied constructions within the fine-wire portion of the Style range (30–10 AWG insulation class: 15 mils minimum average wall). Conductor stranding, outer diameter, and resistance figures are typical production values. Insulation wall thickness increases for conductor sizes from 9 AWG to 2 AWG (30 mils minimum average). Final conductor stranding, dimensions, markings, packaging, and documentation depend on the confirmed order specification.
| Gauge (AWG) | Conductor Stranding (No./mm) | Wall Thickness (mm, typical) | Outer Diameter (mm, typical) | Max Resistance at 20°C (Ω/km) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 AWG | 7/0.127 | 0.40 | 1.20 | 239.0 |
| 24 AWG | 11/0.16 | 0.40 | 1.45 | 94.2 |
| 20 AWG | 21/0.18 | 0.40 | 1.80 | 36.7 |
| 18 AWG | 34/0.18 | 0.40 | 2.10 | 23.2 |
| 16 AWG | 26/0.254 | 0.40 | 2.40 | 14.6 |
Applications — Stationary Protected Internal Wiring
The UL Style file designates UL AWM Style 1569 for internal wiring of appliances or electronic equipment where the wire is not subjected to movement or mechanical damage. This is an important constraint that distinguishes UL 1569 from AWM Styles intended for flexing or mechanically exposed applications. At 105°C maximum and 300 Vac across the 30 AWG–2 AWG range, constructions under this Style are typically evaluated for stationary internal wiring inside enclosed assemblies where 105°C rated thin-wall PVC insulation meets the equipment thermal and voltage requirements. Application categories include:
- Stationary internal hook-up wiring inside consumer electronics and small appliance assemblies where the wire position is fixed after installation
- PCB-to-component wiring inside enclosed electronic equipment where wires are routed and secured in fixed positions without repeated movement
- Internal wiring of electronic control modules, enclosed power conversion equipment, and instrumentation assemblies where 105°C / 300 Vac rated PVC AWM wire is specified
- Appliance internal wiring where the equipment thermal design requires a 105°C temperature class and the installation conditions exclude movement or mechanical damage to the wire
UL AWM Style 1569 is not designated for wiring subjected to repeated movement, mechanical damage, flexing, or external field wiring. It is not designated for building installation wiring or any use outside protected internal equipment wiring. Where the installation requires a wire tolerant of movement or mechanical exposure, a different AWM Style should be evaluated.
UL 1569 vs UL 1007 — Selecting Between 105°C and 80°C PVC AWM
Both UL AWM Style 1569 and UL AWM Style 1007 are 300 Vac thin-wall extruded PVC Styles for stationary protected internal wiring of appliances and electronic equipment. The key selection difference is temperature class and AWG range. UL 1007 is rated to 80°C maximum and covers 32–16 AWG with a 15 mils minimum average wall. UL 1569 is rated to 80°C, 90°C, or 105°C maximum (marketed: 105°C) and covers a wider range of 30 AWG–2 AWG — extending to larger conductor sizes beyond UL 1007’s 16 AWG upper limit. Where the equipment thermal design requires 105°C rated internal wiring or conductor sizes below 16 AWG at 300 Vac, UL 1569 is the appropriate Style. For applications where 80°C and conductor sizes within 32–16 AWG are sufficient, UL 1007 is available as the lower-temperature class alternative. Where 600 Vac internal wiring is required, UL AWM Style 1015 (600 Vac / up to 105°C, 30 AWG–2000 kcmil, 30 mils min avg wall) is the appropriate higher-voltage PVC alternative.
