Halogen Any of the five elements: Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine. These elements may be combined with insulation compounds to enhance flame retardancy.
Hard Drawn Copper Wire Copper wire that has not been annealed after drawing
Harmonized (HAR) These are products intended for use in Europe that fall under the Harmonization Documents. These items must be manufactured within a member country there are no exceptions. For this reason these carry the name and/or file numbers of the producing party. Products that comply with this are P/N Series 1900 through 1906 and P/N Series 1915 through 1925.
Harness An arrangement of wires and cables, usually with many breakouts, which have been tied together or pulled into a rubber or plastic sheath, used to interconnect an electric circuit
Hash Mark Stripe A non-continuous helical strip applied to a conductor for identification
Heat Distortion Distortion or flow of a material configuration due to application of heat
Heat Endurance The time of heat aging that a material can withstand before failing a specific physical or electrical test
