Applications
Cerrowire’s primary wire is perfect for automotive wiring harnesses, boat wiring, and trailer wiring. Its flexibility and durability make it suitable for applications with limited exposure to fluids and mechanical abuse, such as:
- Automotive: Car audio wiring, including speaker wire and amplifier wiring, dashboard lighting, turn signal circuits, power door locks, and interior dome lights. It’s also used in engine wiring harnesses and for connecting various sensors and actuators. Customers might also be on the look out for primary wire for car stereo installation or automotive lighting.
- Marine: Boat navigation lights, bilge pump wiring, and fish finder installations. It’s also used for wiring marine batteries, trolling motors, and other onboard electronics. Boaters might search for marine grade primary wire or tinned primary wire for marine use to find corrosion-resistant options.
- Recreational Vehicles: RV lighting, appliance wiring, and 12V accessory circuits. This includes wiring for RV refrigerators, water pumps, and air conditioners. RV owners often search for primary wire for RV solar panel installation or for their RV battery bank.
- Trailers: Trailer lighting, brake circuits, and electric winch connections. Customers may search for “primary wire for trailer wiring harness” or “primary wire for 7-way trailer plug”.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Durable PVC Insulation: The PVC (polyvinyl chloride) insulation provides excellent resistance to abrasion, cuts, and tears, protecting the wire from damage during installation and operation. It also offers good dielectric strength and flame resistance, making it suitable for use in automotive and marine environments where safety is critical.
- Flexible and Easy to Install: Primary wire is highly flexible, making it easy to route through tight spaces and around corners. This simplifies installation in complex wiring harnesses and confined areas. The stranded copper construction contributes to its flexibility, allowing for easy bending and manipulation during installation.
- Color-Coded for Easy Identification: Available in a variety of colors, allowing for easy circuit identification and troubleshooting. Common colors include red, black, green, and white. This color-coding simplifies wiring and helps prevent mistakes during installation and maintenance.
- Available in 16 and 14 AWG: Offers a choice of wire gauges to suit different current requirements. 16 AWG primary wire is suitable for lower current applications, while 14 AWG primary wire can handle higher currents. The choice of wire gauge depends on the specific application and the amount of current flowing through the circuit.
Conductors
Insulated conductors: Finely stranded bare copper conductors with PVC insulation. The high-quality insulation resists abrasion, chemicals and moisture, even in a high temperature environment (105°C).
