55A0812-12-9CS3530

Overview

The TE Connectivity 55A0812-12-9CS3530 is a single-conductor hook-up wire from the Spec 55 series, designed for aerospace and defense applications. It features a 12 AWG stranded silver-plated copper conductor insulated with ETFE. The cable operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 200°C and supports up to 600V. This specific part number denotes a black jacket variant, distinguished by the CS3530 suffix, while maintaining the standard 55A0812 electrical and physical specifications.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes low-fluoride ETFE insulation to minimize corrosive off-gassing in enclosed environments.
• Features a flexible stranded silver-plated copper conductor for reliable signal transmission.
• Complies with MIL-W-22759 and MIL-C-27500 military standards for harsh environment durability.

Applications

• Aerospace internal wiring systems
• Defense electronic equipment interconnects
• Harsh environment sensor connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the CS3530 suffix confirms the required black jacket color, as standard versions may differ. Confirm that the 12 AWG gauge meets the current carrying requirements of the circuit design. Ensure compatibility with existing MIL-W-22759 infrastructure before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-temperature resistance up to 200°C is necessary alongside low outgassing properties. The silver plating provides superior conductivity compared to tin alternatives. Consider the specific black jacket requirement dictated by the CS3530 designation versus standard white or other colors available in the 55A0812 family.

Part Context

This wire belongs to the Spec 55 low-fluoride line, engineered to reduce corrosion risks in sealed compartments. It serves as a critical interconnect solution where space is limited and thermal management is challenging. The product aligns with broader TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine strategies for reliable environmental sealing.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 55A0812 variants with different jacket colors (e.g., 55A0812-12-9). Cross-reference MIL-W-22759 compliant wires from other manufacturers if supply constraints exist, ensuring identical conductor size and insulation material ratings are maintained.
