What is the best wire for automotive harness
The best wire for automotive harnesses is GPT (General Purpose Thermoplastic) or TXL (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) wire, offering temperature resistance (-40°C to 125°C) and durability. Use 16-20 AWG for most circuits (12V......
-
What is an engine wiring harness
An engine wiring harness is a bundled set of wires (typically 50-200 strands) that connects sensors, actuators, and ECUs, using 18-22 AWG copper wires with heat-resistant (up to 125°C) insulation. Proper routing avoids chafing—mai......
