UKB is a leading manufacturer and supplier of Appliance Wiring Material (AWM)

UKB Electronics is a major B2B supplier of high-quality Appliance Wiring Material (AWM) for the internal wiring of electrical and electronic equipment. As the fundamental component for all internal connections, AWM is critical to the performance and safety of any appliance. We provide a vast range of UL-certified wires, serving as a reliable “Make in India” partner for high-volume appliance manufacturers targeting both domestic and global markets.

Product Anatomy

AWM is a single-core insulated wire engineered for precision and consistency. It consists of a solid or finely stranded, high-purity copper conductor, which is often tinned to improve solderability. This conductor is encased in a single, uniform layer of high-grade insulation with the material and thickness precisely controlled to meet specific UL Style requirements for voltage, temperature, and flammability.

Key Features & Customisation Options

- High Consistency for Automation: Uniform diameter and concentricity of our wires ensure flawless performance in our clients’ high-speed automated stripping and crimping machines.

Key Applications

Our AWM is used extensively by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for the internal wiring of:
- Home Appliances: Refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, and air conditioners.
- Consumer Electronics: Televisions, audio systems, and power supplies.
- Industrial Control Panels & Switchgear: For point-to-point wiring inside electrical cabinets.
- Lighting Fixtures: Internal wiring for commercial and residential lighting.
- Power Tools and Motor Windings.
- Automotive & EV Electronics.

Integrated Manufacturing Capabilities

Our consistency in AWM production is a result of complete vertical integration and a commitment to global standards:

Advanced Conductor Processing: Our foundation for quality starts with in-house wire processing using state-of-the-art Niehoff (Germany) multi-wire drawing and annealing machines to produce high-purity copper conductors.
UL-Approved Compounding & Precision Extrusion: We formulate and produce our own insulation materials in-house using UL-approved base polymer compounds (PVC, XLPE, etc.). This critical step ensures that the material foundation of our wires meets the stringent flammability and safety requirements of UL standards from the very beginning.
High-Speed Spooling: Our automated spooling lines ensure the wire is perfectly wound without damage, ready for seamless use in our customers’ high-speed manufacturing processes.
