TEX-E Equivalent & Alternative: the TLW-B Cross-Reference

Furukawa Electric's TEX-E is the market-leading triple insulated wire. DAH JIN TLW-B is likewise a triple insulated wire on the same IEC 62368-1 Annex J reinforced-insulation path, certified by UL (file number E236542) and VDE (certificate 40008834) — a verifiable second source for your transformer and power-supply designs.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a second source?

A second source is an alternative supplier qualified for the same application alongside your incumbent supplier, spreading the shortage, lead-time and pricing risks of single sourcing. Triple insulated wire is a safety-critical component, and most power-supply makers qualify a second source for it.

Can TLW-B directly replace TEX-E?

TLW-B and TEX-E are both triple insulated wires on the same IEC 62368-1 Annex J / IEC 61558-1 Annex K reinforced-insulation path. Any substitution, however, must be validated in your actual application through engineering and safety approval — we do not claim drop-in equivalence. Instead, we match your TEX-E part number with the corresponding TLW-B size proposal, specification table and samples so you can complete the validation.

How do I verify equivalence between the two?

Suggested process: (1) compare both specification tables on wire diameter, thermal class and safety requirements; (2) verify DAH JIN's certifications in UL Product iQ (file number E236542) and the VDE database (certificate 40008834); (3) request samples from us and test withstand voltage, solderability and winding-process compatibility in your transformer or power-supply design.

How are samples and lead times arranged?

Provide the TEX-E part number, wire diameter and annual volume you currently use via the online RFQ form; we will reply with a cross-reference proposal within 48 hours, and our sales team will arrange samples and lead times once specifications are confirmed.
