The combination of a hinge and an insulated wire is provided, wherein the
hinge is capable of closing and opening to an angle of at least
90.degree., the insulated wire being secured by the hinge so as to fold
when said hinge is closed and to unfold when said hinge is opened, the
insulation on the wire comprising fluoropolymer, such as
tetrafluoroethylene/-hexafluoropropylene copolymer or
tetrafluoroethylene/perfluoro(methyl vinyl ether)/perfluoro(propyl vinyl
ether) copolymer, each polymer having a melting point of 260 to
290.degree. C. and MIT Flex Life of at least about 15,000 cycles, the
hinge being useful in such electronic devices as a laptop computer or a
clamshell cell phone, attaching the keyboard and screen portion to one
another, the insulation being capable of repeated opening and closing of
