Micro-Tek offers a variety of extruded insulated products. These are commonly called Hook-Up and Lead Wire and can be manufactured in general accordance with various mil-specs.

Micro-Tek clients take advantage of our ability to customize via short runs, custom colors, combinations, extruded stripes in custom combinations, etc.

These products are commonly used as a reliable and compact way to connect various electronic components. The advantages of these products are flexibility, heat resistance and abrasion resistance.

Commonly referenced standards are MIL-W-16878, NEMA HP3 and NEMA HP4. See reference tables below.
