Heat exposure
The temperature limit applies at the wire position: up to +180 °C (356°F) continuously, with short-term exposure up to +200 °C (392°F).
APPLICATION / INDUSTRIAL HEATING
Silicone Cable for
Industrial Heating Equipment
Wiring near furnaces and electric heaters.
We start from extra-flexible silicone single-core wire: fine-stranded tinned copper with silicone rubber insulation, 28 AWG to 2 AWG, rated −60 °C (−76°F) to +180 °C (356°F) continuous and +200 °C (392°F) short-term in fixed installation.

| Furnace peripheral wiring | Extra-flexible silicone single-core wire | Route and temperature reviewed per furnace |
HEAT & INSTALLATION
Installation conditions for heating equipment wiring
Our silicone wire is used for wiring industrial high-temperature equipment. Tell us the wire route and installation conditions so we can confirm the specification.
Ventilation & routing
Above +100 °C (212°F), the wire needs suitable ventilation. Enclosed spaces, routing restrictions and whether the connection moves also affect the selection.
Electrical specification
Circuit voltage, load and conductor size decide the wire. Our silicone wire range covers several types with different voltage ratings and approvals, so the rating is confirmed for the type you select.
WIRING APPLICATIONS
Heating equipment connections
Our wire is used for heating-equipment wiring; each furnace installation is confirmed with your drawing.
INTERNAL CONNECTIONS
Electric-heating equipment wiring
Silicone-insulated leads for internal wiring of electric-heating equipment. The temperature limit applies at the wire position.
Typical application
EQUIPMENT INTERCONNECTIONS
High-temperature equipment connections
Industrial high-temperature equipment is another typical application. The selected wire specification must match the actual cable route and electrical duty.
Typical application
FURNACE & OVEN EQUIPMENT
Furnace peripheral wiring
Hot-chamber installation and direct contact with heating elements are not specified uses in the linked wire datasheet. The listed limits are +180 °C (356°F) continuous and +200 °C (392°F) short-term.

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY
Frequently asked questions
Can the wire run inside a hot chamber?
No. It runs outside the hot chamber and away from heating elements, and the temperature at the wire position decides the selection.
How tight can the wire be bent at a heater terminal?
For fixed installation, no tighter than 6 × the wire diameter: 7.2 mm for 28 AWG up to 75 mm for 2 AWG.
What does +200 °C (392°F) short-term mean?
The datasheet specifies +180 °C (356°F) continuous and +200 °C (392°F) short-term, but does not give a maximum duration for the +200 °C (392°F) exposure.
