Product Overview
H05V-U / H07V-U PVC Insulated Single Core Wire is a solid bare copper conductor PVC insulated installation wire manufactured to DIN VDE 0281-3 and DIN EN 60228. The harmonised European designation encodes the key technical parameters: H = harmonised type (CENELEC), 05 = 300/500V or 07 = 450/750V voltage class, V = PVC insulation, -U = single-core solid conductor. Stripping the designation reveals the complete specification: H05V-U is the 300/500V solid wire for signal and control circuits (0.5-1.0mm²), while H07V-U is the 450/750V solid wire for higher-voltage fixed installations (1.5-10mm²). Both variants share the same PVC insulation compound, 70°C continuous rating, and EN 60332-1-2 flame retardancy certification — the entire range is interchangeable in construction and only differentiated by operating voltage and cross-section.
The H05V-U/H07V-U wire occupies a specific niche in European electrical practice: it is the solid-core counterpart to the stranded flexible NYAF and the green/yellow earth wire, designed for protected fixed installations where the wire, once terminated, remains stationary for its service life. Solid copper's advantages over stranded for this application are threefold: no strand separation during terminal tightening (a common failure mode with fine-strand wire under screw terminals), lower cost due to simpler manufacturing, and a 4×D bending radius — surprisingly tighter than Class 2 stranded house wire (15×D) because the solid conductor's single rigid core holds its bend shape without spring-back. However, the application scope is limited by VDE 0281-3 to signal circuits and control circuits only when installed under plaster or in pipes — this wire is not approved for main power distribution circuits where current-carrying capacity demands larger cross-sections than the 10mm² maximum in this range.
For electrical wholesalers, H05V-U/H07V-U represents the entry-level solid single-core product line — the most affordable per-metre wire in the building wire category. Packaged in standardised 100m rolls with export wooden case and pallet, the small overall diameters (2.1-5.7mm) and lightweight construction (9-115 kg/km) enable dense container loading — a single 20ft container can hold over 10,000 rolls of 1.5mm² wire, making this product line viable for high-volume export to markets where European harmonised standards are referenced in local wiring codes.

Copper conductor — Single solid copper core, no stranding — the defining feature of the -U (solid) designation
PVC insulation — Blue outer layer, uniform wall thickness per cross-section (0.6-1.0mm)
Right Diagram — Stranded Conductor (Reference):
Copper conductor — 7-strand copper bundle — for comparison only; H05V-U/H07V-U uses solid conductor
PVC insulation — Same blue PVC compound and thickness as solid variant
Solid Class 1 Copper
Single solid bare copper core per DIN EN 60228 Class 1. No strand separation risk at screw terminals. Lowest manufacturing cost in the building wire family.
PVC Insulation (VDE 0281)
Uniform wall: 0.6mm (≤1.0mm²) / 0.7mm (1.5mm²) / 0.8mm (2.5-6mm²) / 1.0mm (10mm²). 70°C continuous, 160°C/5s short-circuit.
Two Voltage Variants
H05V-U: 300/500V, 0.5-1.0mm² for signal & control circuits. H07V-U: 450/750V, 1.5-10mm² for higher-voltage fixed installations.
4×D Tight Bending
Solid wire bends once and holds shape — no spring-back. 4×D minimum bending radius enables neat right-angle routing in tight terminal boxes.
100m Standard Export Roll
Wooden case + pallet. Ultra-lightweight (9-115 kg/km) — up to 10,000+ rolls per 20ft container for export wholesalers.
Signal & Control Only
Per VDE 0281-3: not approved for main power circuits under plaster. Use NYM multi-core cable or larger H07V-K stranded wire for power applications.

Appliance Internal Wiring
Protected fixed wiring inside electrical appliances where the wire, once terminated, is stationary for the product lifetime.
Control & Signal Circuits
Exclusively qualified for signal and control circuit applications per VDE 0281-3. H05V-U at 0.5-1.0mm² for low-current instrumentation.
EU / CENELEC Markets
Harmonised designation recognised across all CENELEC member countries. VDE mark ensures German and Austrian market acceptance.
Export Wholesale
Ultra-lightweight (9 kg/km minimum) — the most cost-effective per-metre wire for high-volume container export to European markets.
