American Automotive Wires

As a supplier of Automotive cables, Eland Cables can support specifications of US automotive wires in the same way as it provides European reference FL standard wall, FLR reduced wall, and FLU ultra thin wall cables.

AWG Automotive Wires Specification

The US standard automotive wires can be used in automotive cable harnesses, starter motors connections, instrument and signalling circuit panels. They are all single insulated - none of the cables have an additional sheathing layer. As required of cables used in automotive applications, the insulation materials provide varying resistance to heat and to cold temperatures, flame retardance, petrols and diesel, braking fluids, organic media, and acids & lyes. 

American Automotive Wire Sizes

US standard cables are sized in AWG and where appropriate kcmill, not mm2 - our conversion table can provide a guide where comparative sizing is needed. The cables are available in a wide range of colours, making identification of these single core low tension wiring easy.

We can provide guidance and assistance on which automotive cable will best suit your application, matching environmental challenges to the insulation material properties, for instance, where space constraints demand thin wall measurements or where higher temperatures are in play.
