Carlisle Thermax M16878/5-BJE-2 is a PTFE-insulated 16 AWG lead wire designed for high-temperature aerospace and industrial environments. Manufactured under MIL-W-16878/5 as Thermax lead wire, it features PTFE insulation rated to 200°C and a red jacket for easy circuit identification. The M16878/5-BJE-2 configuration uses 16 AWG conductors with 19/29 strand construction, yielding a conductor diameter of 0.053 in (1.35 mm), insulation diameter of 0.083 in (2.11 mm), and an overall insulated diameter of 0.095 in (2.41 mm). This precise sizing and PTFE insulation make it suitable for tight harnesses and high-temperature signal and low-current applications in demanding environments.
