What is 16-19 primary wire

Product Information

Specification

16 AWG (19/29) BC GXL

Applications:

Automotive wire is among the wide range of electrical cables used as power cables in the automotive industry, such as in vehicle engines. This GXL automotive wire is relatively robust and can withstand high heat and high impact environments. The operational temperature for this electrical cable is between -40°C and 125°C. 

Also Known As:

16 sae j1128 gxl, 16 awg gxl wire, 16 gxl cable, 16 awg gxl automotive wire, 16 automotive wire, 16 awg automotive cable, 16 primary cable, 16 awg car wiring, 16 auto wire, 16 awg auto cable, 16 automotive electrical wiring, 16 awg car electrical wiring, 16 vehicle wiring, 16 awg auto electrical wire, 16 automotive primary wire.

Standards:

The GXL automotive wire has the following certifications from international agencies:

• • SAE J1128
• • Ford (ESB-M1L85-B)
• • Chrysler (MS-8900)

Construction

Conductors:

The GXL wire has a stranded bare or tinned copper wire conductor. Copper is the most common material used in electrical wires and cables, which is mostly because it has amazing electrical properties and is cheaper compared to other metals. The stranding enhances its flexibility and enables it to carry more current.

Insulation:

The GXL cable has XLPE insulation, which is flexible but very tough, made of a complex chain of molecules forming a sturdy polymer. It can withstand a wide range of temperatures, is resistant to chemicals and UV light deformations, water-tight, and easy to cut. 

Specifications:

• • Conductor (AWG): 16
• • Stranding: 19x29
• • Nominal Conductor O.D. (inches): 0.056
• • Nominal Outer Diameter (inches): 0.102

Used in marine, industrial, and automotive realms, primary wire is an electrical staple. 16 gauge wire is great for general electrical applications and features a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation. Encompassing a single conductor copper wire, the smooth PVC surface protects against various acids, oils, and greases. From original installs to replacement projects, Del City has the primary wire for you. Our 16 gauge wire is available in a variety of colors and spool sizes for your specific needs.

• Single conductor copper stranded with a polyvinyl chloride insulation.
• Spool sizes available: 100, 500, 1000, 2500, & 5000 feet.
• Colors available: red, white, dark blue, dark green, black, yellow, brown, gray, purple, orange, pink, tan, light blue, and light green.
• Rated for 60 volts.
• Insulation operates optimally between -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 176°F).
• Meets or exceeds SAE specification J1128, Ford M1L56A, & Chrysler MS3450.
• Also available in convenient 35 ft thrifty spools.
