Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the “16-9” designate in the M22759/2-16-9 part number?
A: In MIL-W-22759, “16” indicates 16 AWG wire size, and “9” specifies the insulation wall thickness and color (typically white).

Q: Is this wire suitable for high-vibration environments?
A: Yes. The stranded conductor and robust PTFE insulation provide excellent flexibility and resistance to fatigue, making it ideal for aerospace and vehicle applications subject to constant vibration.

Q: Can this wire handle soldering temperatures?
A: Absolutely. Its PTFE insulation withstands continuous operation up to 200°C and brief exposures to much higher temperatures encountered during soldering without degradation.

Q: Why choose silver-plated copper over bare copper?
A: Silver plating significantly enhances corrosion resistance, especially against sulfur and oxidation, maintains better conductivity over time, and provides superior solderability compared to bare copper.

Q: Is this wire RoHS compliant?
A: While many MIL-SPEC wires are inherently RoHS compliant due to material choices (PTFE, copper, silver), always verify the specific manufacturer’s compliance documentation for your application requirements. PCX can assist with documentation.

Q: Where can I find the full datasheet?
A: Access the detailed technical specifications and performance data for the M22759/16-9 wire on the PCXCo.com product page or contact our support team for assistance.
