With the variety of military specifications, industry trade names, dozens of acronyms, and other naming conventions used to define a particular type of insulation, it can be difficult to determine the insulation of a given wire to say the least. In a case of Mil-spec identification codes, the difference between a /9 wire insulation and a /7 wire insulation can be dramatic, even to the point of completely different materials.
Frequently when Lectromec personnel would be inspecting aircraft, maintenance personnel and aircraft technicians, though they worked with it daily, would typically be unaware of the type of insulation in use. Often a type of wire would be associated with specific color insulation.
Lectromec has developed a solution for this problem. The new website, www.WireFacts.com, is designed as a "one stop shop" of information for wire insulation past and present. The easy to navigate design was developed to meet the needs of maintenance personnel as well as engineers. WireFacts.com was designed from the ground up providing data starting from the simple pros and cons of a particular insulation and going through highly specific chemical composition and inherent properties. The information is displayed in plain English, without the convoluted descriptions that often plague literature in the field.
www.WireFacts.com is a perfect addition for the PDA of maintenance personnel working on an aircraft, or an electrical engineer in any industry.
