WSL-36 is a single-strand cryogenic wire made of phosphor bronze, 36 AWG, with Formvar® insulation. It has an electrical resistivity of 1.15 × 10⁻⁷ Ω·m at 293 K, a melting range of 1223 K to 1323 K, and a coefficient of thermal expansion of 1.78 × 10⁻⁵. It is non-ferromagnetic and suitable for sensor installations requiring low temperature dependence of resistance, with a voltage rating of 2525 VAC. The wire is designed for general sensor use down to cryogenic temperatures and is stripped mechanically using an Eraser Rush Model RT-2 stripper.
Lake Shore manganin wire is often used for cryostat wiring or heater requirements in nonmagnetic applications.
