UL 3644 Silicone Appliance Wire, 200°C 1000V
UL 3644 is a UL-certified silicone appliance wire rated 1000 V AC, with 150°C and 200°C constructions. It is intended for internal appliance wiring where the wire is totally enclosed, and the required temperature grade should appear on the equipment specification.
- Voltage: 1000 V AC
- Temperature: 150°C or 200°C by construction
- Insulation / covering: extruded silicone rubber
- Size selection: 30 AWG–1000 kcmil style range; table: 30 AWG–4/0 AWG
- Certification: UL-certified AWM; UL 758
UL 3644 wire selection
UL 3644 is a UL-certified silicone appliance wire rated 1000 V AC, with 150°C and 200°C constructions. It is intended for internal appliance wiring where the wire is totally enclosed, and the required temperature grade should appear on the equipment specification.
The dimension table now includes 19 conductor sizes from 30 AWG through 4/0 AWG. The nominal insulation wall changes with conductor size, starting at 0.82 mm for the 30–10 AWG rows. Stranding and finished diameter are shown together, while a separate style thickness schedule covers the wider range up to 1000 kcmil. This separates a finished-wire dimension from the minimum insulation requirement used to define the construction.
When replacing an enclosed appliance lead, check the temperature grade and the available bend space before assuming that another 1 kV silicone wire will fit. The listed constructions use a bend radius of 10 times finished diameter. A different wall schedule can change the terminal entry clearance even when the AWG and voltage rating match.
See the Specifications tab for the model and size tables. Browse the high-temperature cable range for related constructions. Compare UL 3580 for 150°C motor lead duty and UL 3645 when an additional outer covering is specified.
Construction
UL 3644 uses the following conductor and insulation system. The diagram illustrates the layer sequence; select the conductor construction and covering shown in the required size specification.
| Component | Construction detail |
|---|---|
| Conductor | Solid or stranded copper; dimensioned examples are stranded |
| Insulation | Extruded silicone rubber |
Applications
UL 3644 is intended for appliance internal wiring inside a complete enclosure. Select the 150°C or 200°C construction to match the local thermal duty and connection materials.
UL 3644 replacement selection
For replacement enquiries, include the existing wire marking and the equipment connection drawing so the conductor, insulation and terminal arrangement can be matched.
