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
