Thermal wire stripper temperature

------Question for PTS-30 Please Put your question below------

What temperature does this get to? Will it strip thin insulation on some strain gauges that I have been told needs 600 degrees to 700 degrees?

Hi @peterepeat ,

Welcome to DigiKey TechForum and thanks for your inquiry.

PTS-30 Thermal Wire Stripper is a low power line operated tool which far surpass all previous devices in safety, versatility, speed and economy. The patented design incorporates a uniquely shaped Nickel-Chromium heating element, which heats up quickly (less than 4 seconds) to an optimal temperature of 1700°F (approximately 926°C). It will efficiently strip High-Temperature (PTFE etc.) insulation from solid, stranded, or shielded wires in the range of #16- 30 AWG.
