UL AWM 1032 PVC Lead Wire 22 AWG — 1000 Vac / 1200 Vdc, Choosing the Right Gauge for Your Appliance Circuit
UL AWM 1032 in 22 AWG is a single-conductor appliance wiring material with extruded PVC insulation, rated 90°C maximum at 1000 Vac and/or 1200 Vdc. As a lead wire, 22 AWG covers the current range needed for sensor feeds, solenoid coil connections, relay coil wiring and similar low-to-moderate current internal circuit leads in appliances where operating voltage exceeds the 600 Vac limit of standard hook-up wire styles. CableApex supplies UL AWM 1032 22 AWG as a UL Recognized Component — file on record.
Selecting the Right AWG Within UL AWM 1032 for Lead Wire Applications
| AWG | Typical Lead Wire Use | Wall Thickness | Conductor |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30–24 AWG | Sensor signal leads, fine-pitch board connections | 30 mils avg / 27 mils min | Solid or stranded |
| 22 AWG (this page) | Relay coil leads, solenoid connections, actuator feeds | 30 mils avg / 27 mils min | Solid or stranded |
| 20–18 AWG | Light power leads, motor tap connections | 30 mils avg / 27 mils min | Solid or stranded |
| 16–12 AWG | Heavier power feeds, panel wiring | 30 mils avg / 27 mils min | Solid or stranded |

Applications
Within its permitted use — internal wiring of appliances — UL AWM 1032 22 AWG is suited to relay coil and solenoid valve lead connections, actuator feed wires and internal control circuit leads in appliances where operating voltages reach 1000 Vac or 1200 Vdc. Where the tag marking 3500 V peak — for electronic use only is needed for an internal electronic circuit at elevated peak voltage, this can be specified at order. The optional 60°C or 80°C oil rating applies where the lead wire runs through an oil-exposed zone inside the appliance. For applications outside internal appliance wiring, confirm application suitability before specifying.
