Polyimide Insulated and Twisted

Series 511
Zesta Thermocouple Wire Series 511
Zesta Thermocouple Wire Series 511
SERIES 511 is the most economical polyimide taped construction. Polyimide film applied to the conductors is considered to be the ultimate “soft” insulation. The tape maintains its strength at temperatures up to 600°F (315°C). The FEP laminate serves as a moisture barrier and allows the tape to fuse with itself. The finished construction will not unravel when cut.

SERIES 511 conductors are wrapped with the polyimide tape which is fused to itself. Each conductor is color coded with a colored thread under the tape. The insulated conductors are twisted into a duplex construction to eliminate the overall duplex insulation and minimize cost.
