Strain Gages with Pre-attached Lead-wire Cables
Virtually all Kyowa strain gages are delivered with a leadwire cable pre-attached to ensure labor saving in gage bonding works by eliminating the need for soldering.
Types and lengths of the lead-wire cable for each gage are as follows.
When ordering, specify the model of the strain gage and the code of the lead-wire cable with a space in between.

Types of lead-wire cable with glass-cloth tape
*The wire section of some types is sandwiched or wrapped with the glass-cloth tape for insulation and reinforcement. (See the figures below.)





- For 2-wire gages, the gage resistance indicated on the package includes that of the lead-wires.
- For 3-wire gages, the gage resistance indicated on the package is only for the gage itself, and does not include that of the lead-wires.
- Encapsulated gages are provided standard with an MI cable 2 m long and a soft cable 50 cm long.
