hi, sometime back we looked into the airline crash episode. i believe it was attributed to kapton insulated wire where the insulation was wrapped not extruded. the insulation unwrapped, and, voila, the problem. as far as the use of teflon insulated wire, the teflon cold flows pretty easily. if it run around a corner or up against a sharp surface it will cut through and short out. as far as a alternate, you might look at kynar insulated wire. phil -----Original Message----- From: - Bogert [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 2:55 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Fw: [TN] Kapton insulated wire ----- Original Message ----- From: - Bogert<mailto:[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 5:48 AM Subject: [TN] Kapton insulated wire February 11, 2004 Do you folks know of an acceptable insulation for wire that can replace KAPTON insulation. KAPTON is subject to arc strike and has been attributed to air line crash. Additionally, Columbia accident board investigated its use in shuttle and mandated inspection of all such wire in order to extend shuttle life to 40 years. The insulation I need must be able to withstand 650F, and teflon is not acceptable because of --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives<http://listserv.ipc.org/archives> Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16<http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16> for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ----------------------------------------------------- concern in a radiation environment. --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -----------------------------------------------------
