Term | Description |
---|---|
Eccentricity | Like concentricity, a measure of the center of a conductor's location with respect to the circular cross section of the insulation (expressed as a percentage of displacement of one circle within the other) |
ECTFE | A copolymer of ethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene that provides excellent chemical and abrasion resistance as well as mechanical strength. Used mostly as an insulation. |
EIA | Abbreviation for Electronic Industries Association |
Elastomer | A rubber-like substance |
Electromagnetic | Pertaining to the combined electric and magnetic fields associated with movements of electrons through conductors |
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) | Any electromagnetic disturbance that interrupts or limits the performance of electrical or electronic devices |
Electromotive Force | Pressure or voltage; the force which causes current to flow in a circuit |
Electrostatic | Pertaining to static electricity or electricity at rest; a constant intensity electric charge |
Electrostatic Interference | Any electrostatic interference such as motor spiking |
Elongation | The fractional increase in length of a material stressed in tension |
EMF | See definition of "Electromotive Force" |
EMI | Abbreviation for Electromagnetic Interference |
Ends | In braiding, the number of essentially parallel wires or threads on a carrier |
Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) | An ozone resistant rubber consisting primarily of ethylene propylene copolymer (EPM) or ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EDPM) |
Ethylene-Tetrafluorethylene-Copolymer (ETFE) | |
External Interference | The effects of electrical waves or fields which cause sounds other than the desired signal (static). |
Extrusion | The process of continuously forcing both a plastic or elastomer and a conductor core through a die, thereby applying a continuous coating of insulation or jacket to the core or conductor |
