Product Information
Full details
This Lapp H05V2-K installation wire in brown is designed for electrical installations requiring flexible conductors. Its key benefit is its reliable performance in fixed installations with a nominal voltage of 500V. A caveat to note is that it is rated CPR Euro fire class eca, suitable for specific applications but not the highest fire-resistance rating.

FAQs
What does 'H05V2-K' signify?
'H05' indicates a harmonized flexible cable for low voltage. 'V' denotes PVC insulation, '2' signifies a higher conductor operating temperature (up to 90°C) compared to standard VDE0281 types, and 'K' denotes a fine-stranded conductor.
What is the maximum voltage this wire can handle?
The nominal voltage is 500V. Always ensure your application's voltage does not exceed this rating.
Can this wire be used for outdoor applications?
This wire is primarily for indoor fixed installations. Its PVC insulation and 'eca' fire class rating may not be suitable for direct outdoor exposure or harsh environmental conditions. Consult specific datasheets and local regulations.
What is the difference between H05V-K and H05V2-K?
The '2' in H05V2-K indicates that the conductor insulation is designed to withstand a higher operating temperature (90°C) compared to standard H05V-K (typically 70°C).
How should I strip the insulation?
Use a wire stripper specifically designed for fine-stranded wire to avoid damaging the conductors. Strip only the necessary length for termination, as specified by the terminal manufacturer.
Is this wire suitable for high-current applications?
With a 1mm² cross-section, this wire is suitable for moderate current loads. For high-current applications, a larger conductor cross-section would be required. Always calculate current-carrying capacity based on installation conditions and relevant standards.
What does CPR Euro fire class 'eca' mean?
Class 'eca' is a basic fire performance classification under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). It indicates a limited contribution to fire, but it is not a high fire-resistance rating.
Troubleshooting
Wire is too stiff to bend easily
While designed for flexibility, ensure the wire is at a suitable ambient temperature. Extreme cold can temporarily reduce flexibility. Do not force bends to sharp angles that could damage the conductor or insulation.
Conductor breaks during termination
This may indicate the use of excessive force or improper termination technique. Ensure termination tools (e.g., crimpers) are appropriate for 1mm² stranded wire and that ferrules or terminals are correctly sized and applied.
Discoloration or damage to insulation
Inspect the wire for exposure to excessive heat, abrasion, or chemical contact. Ensure the wire is installed within its operating temperature limits and protected from physical damage.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly flexible for easier installation.
- Durable PVC insulation for reliable protection.
- Suitable for fixed electrical installations up to 500V.
- Compact diameter allows for neat wiring solutions.
Cons
- CPR Euro fire class 'eca' is a basic fire rating, not suitable for all environments.
- Specific to brown color, limiting use in systems requiring color-coding without supplementary identification.
- Nominal conductor diameter of 1.13mm may not be sufficient for very high-current applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This wire is intended for use in fixed electrical installations. Ensure that all connections are made by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations. Use appropriate termination methods (e.g., crimp terminals, screw terminals) suitable for 1mm² stranded conductors.
Compatibility: The wire is compatible with standard electrical installation practices and components designed for 1mm² conductors and a 500V rating. It is suitable for use in environments where its fire class rating (eca) is acceptable. Always verify compatibility with specific control systems or equipment manufacturers.
Care: Keep the wire protected from excessive heat, sharp objects, and moisture during storage and installation. Once installed, it requires no routine maintenance beyond standard electrical system checks. Avoid exposing the PVC insulation to solvents or chemicals that could degrade it.
