This standard publication covers specific requirements for silicone rubber insulated stranded wire, designed for the internal wiring of high reliability electrical and electronic equipment. This standards publication addresses 600 V (Type S, ZHS) and 1000 V (Type SS, ZHSS and SSB) wire and permits continuous conductor temperature ratings of -55 °C to +150 °C with tin-coated copper or -55 °C to + 200 °C with silver-coated copper. These types of hook-up wire are used when the following requirements are called for: -- High temperature resistance -- Low temperature resistance -- Good flexibility and flex life -- Solder iron resistance for easier solder terminations without potential damage -- Type ZHS, and ZHSS are used for applications requiring low smoke and zero halogen requirements
