Teledyne Reynolds has developed a range of highly flexible cables that are particularly suitable to the aircraft environment. This technology is a direct result of our research into light weight, durable and flexible cable assemblies needed for Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) systems. These wires have a PFA insulation and high strand count  of silver plated copper conductors that enable the wire to have high tolerance to work hardening. They have been designed to operate over a wide temperature range of -55° to 125°C at their rated voltages and at altitudes up to 70,000 feet (21,336 meters).

Micro Flex™ is available as single wire, twisted pairs or as multi-core cable bundles with or without shielding. Teledyne Reynolds’ unique capability to manufacture Micro Flex™ cable bundles involves the use of special winding tooling to take advantage of the flexibility of the individual wire when laying up a bundle.

Operating Temperature
-55 to 125 ºC

167-2669 and 178-8793 cables have controlled impedance, inductance and capacitance for fast response times and are used extensively to connect Exploding Bridge wire Detonators (EBW) to a Capacitor Discharge Unit (CDU).

Cable 178-5065 has foam insulation, giving lower capacitance and higher impedance. It has been used in cockpit displays.

Reynolds connectors are available for use with all cable types shown to complete your high voltage interconnection requirements.

Pre-conditioning of FEP wire or cable is recommended because FEP insulation will shrink when exposed to temperature cycling. Pre-conditioning should be conducted in an air circulating oven at 204ºC (400ºF) for one hour. Pre-conditioning should only be performed on cut lengths prior to stripping and any termination procedure. No attempt should be made to condition wire or cable in bulk form or while spooled.

While ordering, Use part number and specify length in feet.
