H05VVC4V5-K
Oil-resistant screened flexible control cable, 300/500 V
H05VVC4V5-K is the harmonised, screened control cable with an oil-resistant outer sheath to EN 50525-2-51. The combination of braid screen and oil-proof sheath suits production and packaging lines where oil and lubricants reach the wiring. Supplied to order; the lead time is stated in the quote.
H05VVC4V5-K is a harmonised, flexible PVC control cable with an overall tinned-copper braid screen and an oil-resistant PVC outer sheath, built to EN 50525-2-51. It is intended for control, signal and measuring circuits in machinery, machine tools, production and packaging lines, and in control cabinets where interference from or into the cable has to be limited. The cable is suitable for fixed installation and for occasional, free movement without tensile load, in dry, damp and wet indoor locations and where mineral oils, greases or lubricants are present. It is not intended for continuous flexing, drag-chain use, outdoor or direct-burial installation.
Also known as: flexible control cable
Applications
- Wiring of production and packaging lines with oil and lubricants.
- Control and measuring circuits in switchboards with EMC requirements.
- Machine tools where the sheath must resist mineral oil.
What to look out for
- 300/500 V is enough for control circuits at 230/400 V. For motor supplies and distribution boards, a 0.6/1 kV cable such as YMvK is the usual choice.
- With drives, earth the braid at both ends 360° through EMC glands; with a pigtail (a wire tail on the braid), the screen is largely ineffective at high frequencies.
- Conductor
- Fine-wire stranded bare copper, class 5 to IEC/EN 60228.
- Insulation
- PVC (compound TI2).
- Inner sheath
- PVC (compound TM2), grey.
- Screen
- Tinned copper wire braid over the inner sheath.
- Outer sheath
- Oil-resistant PVC (compound TM5), grey.
- Core identification
- Black cores with white numbers; from 3 cores with green/yellow earth core (G) in the outer layer. 2-core versions without green/yellow (X).
- Rated voltage Uo/U
- 300/500 V.
- Test voltage
- 2 kV.
- Standard
- EN 50525-2-51.
- Flame-retardant
- IEC/EN 60332-1-2.

- Yes; oil-resistant PVC outer sheath.
- Conductor standard
- IEC/EN 60228 class 5.
- Max. conductor temperature
- +70 °C.
- Permitted outer cable temperature, fixed
- −40 °C to +70 °C.
- Permitted outer cable temperature, flexing
- −5 °C to +70 °C.
- Min. bending radius, fixed
- 6 × outer diameter.
- Min. bending radius, flexing
- 20 × outer diameter.
- Reaction to fire (CPR)
- Outside the scope of EN 50575 (flexible connection cable).
H05VVC4V5-K or YSLYCY-JZ?
H05VVC4V5-K
- harmonised, EN 50525-2-51
YSLYCY-JZ
- not harmonised
H05VVC4V5-K is the harmonised screened control cable to EN 50525-2-51, with an oil-resistant outer sheath. YSLYCY-JZ also has a tinned copper braid, but is not harmonised. If the specification calls for a HAR type or oil resistance to EN 50525-2-51, the choice is H05VVC4V5-K; otherwise YSLYCY-JZ is enough.

H05VVC4V5-K
- tinned copper braid
- EMC screen
- oil-resistant sheath
YSLYSY-JZ
- galvanised steel wire braid
- mechanical protection
- transparent sheath
Both have a PVC inner sheath with a braid over it, but the metal differs. H05VVC4V5-K has tinned copper wire as an EMC screen, under an oil-resistant sheath. YSLYSY-JZ has galvanised steel wire for mechanical protection, under a transparent sheath. Choose H05VVC4V5-K where interference and oil are the concern, and YSLYSY-JZ where the cable must withstand knocks and crushing.
