UL 3135 silicone wire for industrial automation high temperature wiring
Product Overview
Industrial automation equipment often includes sections where internal temperature is higher than the rest of the enclosure. This can happen near power devices, compact control modules, braking components, or enclosed electrical sections with limited airflow. In those situations, buyers often move away from ordinary internal wiring and look for something that can better handle heat without making installation more difficult.
UL 3135 silicone wire is a practical option for these higher-temperature internal sections because it combines a 200°C rating with flexible silicone insulation. For OEM builders, that means the wire can be routed more easily through compact equipment layouts while still matching the temperature demands of the application.

Why It Makes Sense in Automation Equipment
In industrial automation, wire selection is rarely based on one factor alone. Buyers usually need a workable balance of heat resistance, routing flexibility, production consistency, and stable sourcing. A wire may pass every electrical requirement on paper and still create problems if it is too stiff or difficult to install in a crowded control enclosure.
UL 3135 is often chosen because it performs well in these practical conditions. It supports internal routing in tighter paths, works well in harness assemblies, and offers better flexibility than many harder insulation systems.
Typical Applications
-
Internal wiring in industrial automation equipment
-
Lead connections near heat-generating components
-
Compact routing inside control equipment and enclosures
-
High temperature harness assemblies for OEM production
-
Internal wiring in equipment with localized thermal buildup
Common Buyer Priorities
Automation equipment buyers usually focus on:
-
Stable internal routing in limited space
-
Heat resistance near electronic power components
-
Color consistency for assembly identification
-
Reliable stripping and termination in production
-
Supply stability across repeated manufacturing runs
Selection Notes
If the equipment environment includes higher temperature sections but still requires flexible installation, UL 3135 is often worth considering. If chemical resistance is more important than softness or routing ease, fluoroplastic styles may be a better fit. If the application demands substantially higher voltage, the wire should be selected according to that specific electrical requirement.
