UL 1180 PTFE wire provides a 300 V, 200°C single-core wiring option for internal connections in electronic equipment. The construction uses a silver-plated copper conductor with extruded PTFE insulation, combining a high temperature rating with a compact finished diameter for component-level routing.
This page covers the 200°C UL 1180 construction. It should not be confused with UL 1164, which has a 150°C rating. Engineers comparing fluoropolymer constructions can also review TEBAOFLEX’s ETFE, FEP, PFA, PTFE and silicone high-temperature wire options.
Why Use a 200°C PTFE Hook-Up Wire?
Internal wiring near heaters, thermal sensors and heat-generating electronic assemblies can experience conductor temperatures above the range of common equipment wire. UL 1180 identifies a single-conductor, extruded-PTFE appliance wiring material for 200°C and 300 V AC service. Final suitability still depends on the complete equipment design, terminal rating, conductor loading, enclosure temperature and required market approval.
- 200°C temperature rating for internal high-temperature wiring routes.
- 300 V AC voltage rating under the referenced UL style.
- Extruded PTFE insulation for a compact single-core construction.
- Silver-plated copper conductor in solid or stranded options according to size.
- 10–30 AWG reference range with nominal dimensions and weights for purchasing review.
- Configuration review before supply covering AWG, conductor form, colour, marking, quantity and documentation.

High-Temperature Electronic Equipment Applications
Potential application areas include internal connections in laboratory thermal equipment, industrial heating controllers, temperature-sensing assemblies, instruments, lighting equipment and protected electronic modules located near controlled heat sources. The wire must be installed inside equipment using terminals, spacing and protective measures appropriate to the end-product design.
See additional industrial cable application examples and TEBAOFLEX custom cable services when a project needs defined conductor construction, insulation colour, identification or test documentation.

Engineering Information to Include with Your RFQ
State the required UL style, AWG size, solid or stranded construction, insulation colour, marking, quantity and delivery destination. Also provide the internal equipment temperature, expected conductor loading, terminal type, routing space and any approval evidence required by the destination market.
For current selection, combine the equipment calculation with the AWG and current-rating guide; a temperature rating alone does not determine allowable current. If certification or laboratory documentation is required, review TEBAOFLEX certifications, test reports and laboratory support and request confirmation for the exact ordered construction.
Request a Configuration Review
Send your size, conductor form, colour, quantity, application and documentation requirements through the TEBAOFLEX request-for-quote form. The technical team will review the requested UL 1180 configuration before supply is confirmed.
