UL 5360 — The Wide-AWG Single Conductor 300V Mica Style
Among UL Recognized mica wire Styles produced by CableApex under File E333030, UL 5360 offers the widest AWG range in the 300V single-conductor category. While UL 5128 and UL 5334 cover 24 AWG to 4 AWG at 300V / 450°C, UL 5360 extends this range to 30 AWG to 4/0 AWG — covering both finer signal-level conductors (30, 28, 26 AWG) and larger power-class conductors (1/0 through 4/0 AWG) that fall outside UL 5128/5334.
For German engineers searching UL 5360 450C Mica single conductor Draht Deutschland, this Style serves applications where the broader AWG range matters: fine-gauge signal monitoring (28-30 AWG sensor leads in high-temperature equipment) or larger-gauge applications below 4 AWG that don’t justify stepping up to UL 5335’s 600V rating.
UL 5360 vs UL 5128 / UL 5334 — AWG Range Comparison
| Style | Temperature | Voltage | AWG Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| UL 5128 | 450°C | 300V | 24-4 AWG |
| UL 5334 | 450°C | 300V | 24-4 AWG |
| UL 5360 | 200°C or 450°C | 300V | 30 AWG to 4/0 AWG |
The wider AWG range comes with dual temperature rating flexibility — 200°C variant for moderate high-temperature applications, 450°C variant for extreme applications, both within the same UL Style listing.
UL 5360 Applications
Fine-gauge sensor leads (28-30 AWG) — Thermocouple and RTD sensor leads in compact high-temperature instruments where the smaller conductor gauge fits constrained sensor housings.
Mid-gauge control wiring (18-12 AWG) — Standard control circuit wiring inside high-temperature equipment, similar applications as UL 5128/5334 with single-conductor flexibility.
Heavy single-conductor power feeds (1/0-4/0 AWG) — Single-phase power feeds or DC bus connections at 300V class in industrial heat equipment where each conductor is routed separately rather than as multi-conductor cable.

Engineering Notes from CableApex
- “When do I choose UL 5360 over UL 5128?” UL 5128 covers 24-4 AWG range — sufficient for most standard control and signal applications at 300V/450°C. UL 5360 extends the range to 30 AWG (finer signals) and 4/0 AWG (larger power conductors). Choose UL 5360 specifically when your application needs the broader AWG range; for applications within 24-4 AWG, UL 5128 (mica tape) or UL 5334 (composite mica glass) are typically more widely available.
- “Can I mix UL 5360 conductors with UL 5359 multi-conductor cable in the same equipment?” Yes. Both Styles produced under the same E333030 file with consistent UL Recognition. Using UL 5360 for individual sensor leads and UL 5359 for bundled multi-conductor cable runs is a common approach for equipment with diverse high-temperature wiring needs.
- “Lead time for the smaller and larger AWG sizes (30 AWG or 4/0 AWG)?” These extreme-end AWG sizes are less frequently ordered and may require additional production scheduling time — typically 30-40 days CIF Hamburg/Rotterdam vs the standard 25-30 days. For first orders at 30 AWG or 4/0 AWG, allow buffer in your timeline. Subsequent reorders typically run at standard lead time once production setup is established.
