I think you may be looking for MIL-W-22759 (for single conductor wire) or MIL-DTL-27500 (for multi conductor wire).

This entire website is outstanding. I discovered it just before Christmas last year, and I am constantly enjoying reading (and learning from) the forums. I intend to be a long time reader and occasional contributor (when I have something of value to offer).

As for the specs, before you thank me make sure that's really what you need! I appreciate the gratitude but I would hope I truly provided you information of value.

Something you should be aware of when using these two specs: The numbers I gave you are the basic specs. For each specific wire type under that main spec, there is a unique specification. For example, under MIL-W-22759x (where x is the revision letter), there will be unique specifications of the format MIL-W-22759/16, MIL-W-22759/41, MIL-W-22759/43. etc. These are just examples, there are many such unique specifications. The same is true for MIL-DTL-27500.

So you will want both the basic spec, and then the unique specification for the wire you choose to use to be able define ALL it's properties.

Best regards,

Craig
