What is Type GPT wire?

Type GPT Wire GPT wire features a standard wall that is typically used for trailer wire and general circuit wiring and has excellent resistance to oil, flame, and abrasion. GPT has a temperature range of -40°C to 85ºC.

What is SAE j1128?

This SAE Standard covers low voltage primary cable intended for use at a nominal system voltage of 60 VDC (25 VAC) or less in surface vehicle electrical systems. The tests are intended to qualify cables for normal applications with limited exposure to fluids and physical abuse.

What is the difference between SXL and GXL wire?

The main difference between these two wires is their insulation thickness. SXL wire has thicker insulation than GXL, so it is slightly more durable. However, GXL is more ideal for applications with limited space. (TXL wire has the thinnest wall of all automotive primary wires).

What is SLX wire?

SXL wire has a thick wall cross-linked insulation and is a durable special purpose automotive wire designed for use in engine compartments and other higher temperature applications. Wire specifications are printed on the insulation.

What is tefzel wire?

Mil-Spec ETFE Insulated Electric Wire (MIL-W-22759/16-22) Tefzel® is a ethylene-tetrafluoroehtylene (ETFE) insulation. Tefzel® is light, thin, resistant to abrasion, fuel, most chemicals, cuts and oil. It’s designed for aerospace applications where dimensional tolerance, weight, and mechanical durability are required.

What is SAE J1127?

J1127: Low Voltage Battery Cable – SAE International. Standards.

What is TXL wire?

TXL Wire is an extra-thin wall single-conductor automotive primary wire with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation. It is used primarily in automotive applications where small diameter and minimal weight are desirable.

What is the difference between automotive wire and house wire?

Automotive wire costs more because of the jacket & flexibility, which are not important in a house. The smaller strand sizing also provides greater compression in fittings & stronger connection strength.

Who manufactures Tefzel wire?

Galaxy
Galaxy is a leading supplier of custom and stock Tefzel® wires or cables. Galaxy can supply Tefzel® wires and cables, both stock and custom, in various AWG sizes, voltage ratings, compounds, shielding constructions, and conductor counts.

How much current can 24 AWG handle?

From Current Carrying Capacity of Copper Conductors, has a maximum temperature of 90°C. At an ambient temperature of 30°C, 24AWG has a maximum current of 7A. So 2A for a 10ft cable will not be a problem for 24AWG wire.

What temp is Thhn wire good for?

90° C
THHN wire is approved for up to 600V and is listed by Underwriters Laboratory (UL), as rated for 90° C (194° F) in dry and 75° C (167° F) in wet environments. THHN wire comes with a dual rating: THHN / THWN, which means it’s appropriate for both dry and wet applications.

What are the specifications for wire and cable?

Ford Specification WSB-M1L134-A1 Chrysler Specification MS-9532 Ford Specification ESA-M1L77-A Ford Specification ESB-M177-A2(Anti-Fogging) Primary Wire SPECIFICATIONS AWG STRANDING INSULATION THICKNESS NOMINAL O.D. in mm in mm

What kind of insulation is used for GPT wire?

The GPT, TWP, and HDT wire insulations are all Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) based insulations, and the SXL, GXL, and TXL insulations are Cross-linked Polyethyene, (XLP). XLP is tougher and more temperature resistant, and the PVC is cheaper, typically by about 20% 4.Stranding refers to the number of individual wires in the conductor, and their gauge.

What are the specifications for a wire Anixter?

SPECIFICATIONS 1. CONDUCTOR: Barecopper 2. INSULATION: Cross-Linked Polyethylene(XLP) 3. STANDARDS: SAE J1128; Ford (ESB-M1L85-A); Chrysler(MS-5919) 4. TEMPERATURE: -40°C to 125°C 5. NOMINAL VOLTAGE: 60V DC (25V AC) orless APPLICATIONS For general circuit wiring where resistance to oxidation at higher temperatures is necessary.

Which is larger Aw gauge or SAE gauge?

AW gauge is 6 to 10% larger than SAE gauge. No big deal when you know about it. 3. The GPT, TWP, and HDT wire insulations are all Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) based insulations, and the SXL, GXL, and TXL insulations are Cross-linked Polyethyene, (XLP).
