The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:


This specification deals with bare fine-wire bunch-stranded and rope-lay bunch-stranded copper conductors made from round copper wires finer than No. 40 AWG, either coated or uncoated with tin or silver, for use as electrical conductors. The conductor types covered in this specification are designated Type B for bunch-stranded conductors, and Type R for rope-lay bunch-stranded conductors. On the other hand, the wire classifications are assigned as: Class R, stranded conductors using wire 42 AWG; Class S, stranded conductors using wire 44 AWG; Class T, stranded conductors using wire 46 AWG; Class U, stranded conductors using wire 48 AWG; and Class V, stranded conductors using wire 50 AWG. Wires shall undergo tests that shall evaluated their conformance to physical and electrical properties such as wire cross-sectional area and diameter, coating thickness, tensile strength, elongation, and DC resistance.

Scope

1.1 This specification covers bare bunch-stranded and rope-lay bunch-stranded conductors made from round copper wires finer than No. 40 AWG with diameters less than 0.0031 in. (.078 mm), either coated or uncoated with tin or silver, for use as electrical conductors. (Explanatory Note 1).

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.2.1 Exceptions—The SI values for density and temperature are to be regarded as standard.

1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
