Furnace, kiln & high-temp zone
Extruded virgin PEEK insulation withstands repeated +250 °C (+260 °C peak) UHV bakeout cycles without outgassing halogens.
Product
310-PEEKM-035 ultra-high-vacuum hook-up wire with a 19×0.07 mm (Ø 0.35 mm, 28 AWG) silver-plated OFHC copper multistrand conductor and virgin extruded polyetheretherketone (PEEK) insulation for 10⁻¹⁰ mbar vacuum, +250 °C bakeout, and 10⁷ Gy radiation.
Typical values for this cable type, based on ASTM E595 UHV Outgassing & IEC 60544 Radiation-Resistant PEEK Wire — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
Select 310-PEEKM-035 when in-vacuum wiring faces intense ionizing radiation, electron/proton beam scatter, or sharp mechanical pinch points where thin polyimide tape could tear.
Extruded virgin PEEK insulation withstands repeated +250 °C (+260 °C peak) UHV bakeout cycles without outgassing halogens.
Seamless extruded PEEK wall (Ø 0.55 mm OD on 310-PEEKM-035) resists cut-through, abrasion, and radiation up to 10⁷ Gy.
19-strand silver-plated OFHC copper core flexes smoothly onto Sub-D / Micro-D vacuum feedthrough pins and in-vacuum actuator stages.
Precision UHV instrument hook-up wire is designed for vacuum chambers, not industrial cable reels.
