Title
Color Marking of Thermoplastic Covered Wire
Electronic Components Association
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1959
Scope:
General:
This standard provides color marking for thermoplastic insulated
wire or color marking for thermoplastic jackets on wires and
cables. In the case of transparent plastic jackets, the color
marking may be applied to either the underlying insulation or to
the surface of the jacket.
Application: Color marking shall be
accomplished by use of either (1) solid colored insulation, or (2)
body color with other colored stripes. It is intended that these
wires be interchangeable by color with textile braid wires. Where,
in textile, braids consist of solid colors with tracer threads of
contrasting colors, this standard recommends that the base colored
stripe (wide stripe) shall be used in lieu of solid colored textile
braids. (See example in par. 3.3).
NOTE: It is further recognized that the
application of colored stripes to solid colored insulations may
give poor color rendition, especially dark colored stripes on dark
colored insulations, and these combinations are not recommended by
this standard.
