Product Number Scheme
Every PWG model number follows a consistent, decodable structure.
PWG – ARCH – OD – TERM – LEN – [-NM] – [-LN]
| Segment | Meaning |
|---|---|
| PWG | Company / technology |
| ARCH | Product family — C1, P1, or X1 |
| OD | Outer diameter, inches (4 digits) |
| TERM | Termination — see Connector Options |
| LEN | Length in millimeters (4 digits) |
| -NM | Non-Magnetic option (optional suffix) |
| -LN | Low-Noise option (optional suffix) |
Standard Lengths
- 0150 = 150 mm
- 0200 = 200 mm
- 0250 = 250 mm
- 0300 = 300 mm
- 0330 = 330 mm
- CUSTOM = custom length
Custom lengths use the actual manufactured length in millimeters, e.g. 0742.
