DETAIL SPECIFICATION
CABLES, (POWER AND SPECIAL PURPOSE) AND WIRE, ELECTRICAL
(300 AND 600 VOLTS)
This specification is approved for use by all Departments
and Agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This specification covers single and multiple conductor cables with and without shields
for use in 300 and 600 volts root mean square (rms) applications (see 6.1).
1.2 Classification. Cables covered in this specification are furnished in accordance with the type
designation specified and are classified by the element thereof.
1.2.1 Type Designation. The type designation is formed as follows:
M 3432 - 08 HG E (2/16S-4/12) SJ 1090

1.2.1.1 Part Number. Cables covered by this specification are identified by "M 3432" followed by a
hyphen.
1.2.1.2 Total number of conductors. The total number of conductors (see 6.3.1) in a cable,
exclusive of ground wires (see 6.3.2 and 6.3.4), is identified by a two-digit number. For cables with less
than 10 conductors, a "0" precedes the number of conductors (example - 04 = 4 conductors) in a multiple
conductor power cable.
1.2.1.3 Class. The class of cables is identified by a two-letter symbol, the first letter of which
designates the duty (see 6.1) in accordance with table I. The second letter indicates the application of the
cables in accordance with table II.
