Product Information

Full details

This guide is for electricians and DIY enthusiasts working with low-voltage control and hook-up applications. The Lapp LiY Red Installation Wire (4126104S) offers a flexible, durable solution for internal wiring with its PVC insulation and fine-stranded copper conductor, providing reliable connections up to 50V. A key consideration is its specific voltage rating, meaning it's not suitable for mains power connections.

FAQs

What is the maximum voltage rating for this wire?

The Lapp LiY Red Installation Wire (4126104S) has a nominal voltage rating of 50V.

What does 'Class 5 flexible' conductor mean?

Class 5 refers to a high degree of conductor flexibility, meaning it is made of many fine strands of copper, making it easier to bend and route compared to solid-core wires.

Can this wire be used for mains power (e.g., 120V/240V)?

No, this wire is rated for a maximum of 50V and is intended for low-voltage control and hook-up applications only. It is not suitable for mains power.

What is the AWG size of this wire?

This wire has a cross-section of 0.25mm², which is approximately 24 AWG.

What type of insulation does this wire have?

The insulation is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

What are the available colors for this series of wire?

The Lapp LiY series is available in various colors, including Red, White, Blue, Black, Orange, Green, and Grey.

What is the operating temperature range?

The wire can be processed and operated within a temperature range of -30°C to +70°C.

Troubleshooting

Wire is too stiff for the application.

This wire is designed for moderate flexibility. For applications requiring extreme flexibility, consider a LiY...CY or similar highly flexible cable if available and suitable for the voltage/environment.

Connection is intermittent or poor.

Ensure the conductor is fully stripped and inserted into the terminal. Check that the terminal is properly tightened or crimped. Verify that the correct size connector or terminal is used for the 0.25mm² wire gauge.

Wire insulation appears damaged.

Inspect the wire for cuts, abrasions, or signs of melting. If damage is found, the affected section should be replaced or repaired according to electrical safety standards. Ensure future installations protect the wire from physical stress or excessive heat.

Circuit is not functioning.

Verify continuity of the red wire using a multimeter. Check all connection points and ensure they are secure. Confirm that the voltage supplied does not exceed the wire's 50V rating and that the circuit is properly assembled.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High flexibility for easy installation
  • Clear color-coding for circuit identification
  • Durable PVC insulation
  • Compact size for space-constrained applications
  • Reliable performance within its specified temperature range

Cons

  • Limited to 50V nominal voltage, not suitable for mains power
  • Specific cross-section (0.25mm²) may not be sufficient for high-current applications
  • PVC insulation may be less resistant to certain chemicals compared to other materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This wire is designed for permanent installation and requires standard electrical termination techniques. Ensure the conductor is properly stripped and terminated using appropriate crimp connectors, screw terminals, or soldering methods suitable for fine-stranded wire. Always connect to circuits within its 50V nominal voltage limit. For optimal performance and safety, use tools and connectors rated for the wire's gauge (24 AWG / 0.25mm²).

Compatibility:

The Lapp LiY Red Installation Wire is compatible with most standard low-voltage electrical components and connection methods. It is suitable for use in dry and damp indoor environments. Ensure compatibility with ambient temperatures and any potential chemical exposures that might degrade PVC insulation. It can be used alongside other insulated wires, provided all connections adhere to relevant electrical codes and standards.

Care:

Keep the wire clean and free from excessive dust or debris. Avoid sharp bends or kinks, which can damage the conductor or insulation. Periodically inspect installed wiring for any signs of physical damage or degradation, especially if exposed to non-ideal conditions. Cleaning can be done with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the PVC insulation. Ensure the wire is protected from physical abrasion during installation and operation.
