Class 200 polyester (amide)(imide) overcoated with polyamideimide film-insulated round copper wire consists of a copper conductor that is round in shape and insulated with a combination of materials.
Insulating Material: The conductor shall be coated with a dual film. The underlying coating is based on polyester (amide)(imide) resins. The superimposed coating is based on polyamideimide resins.

Periodic Conformance Tests:
Thermoplastic Flow: Median not less than 300°C
Solubility: Specimens immersed in xylene and 50/50 xylene/butyl Cellosolve shall not soften sufficiently to expose the bare conductor.
Dielectric Breakdown At Rated Temperature: Average not less than 75% of the value required at room temperature.
This type of wire is often used in applications where high temperature resistance and good electrical properties are required.
