Southwire 55667923 Automotive Primary Wire 16 Awg 100 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55667923 is a 16 AWG automotive primary wire rated for surface vehicle electrical systems. This 100-foot spool is white PVC-insulated stranded copper wire built to SAE standards for reliable performance in low-voltage DC automotive and light-duty wiring applications. The 19/29 strand configuration provides flexibility during routing and termination. With an outside diameter of 0.105 inches and a maximum temperature rating of 85 degrees F, it handles the heat and vibration demands typical of under-hood and chassis wiring work. Licensed electricians, auto technicians, and marine or fleet service pros reach for this wire when building or repairing vehicle electrical circuits.

This wire is intended for use in surface vehicle electrical systems where a 60-volt-rated, color-coded primary wire is required. The white jacket makes it straightforward to follow color-coding conventions in multi-circuit harness builds or repair jobs. The 100-foot spool length suits single-vehicle harness fabrication as well as shop stock for recurring service work. It is appropriate for automotive, light truck, trailer, and similar 12-volt and 24-volt DC wiring applications where SAE-compliant primary wire is specified.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in surface vehicle electrical systems per SAE standards, including automotive, light truck, trailer, and similar low-voltage DC wiring applications where 16 AWG SAE-rated primary wire is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automotive technicians or licensed electricians working on vehicle electrical systems. Disconnect the vehicle battery before beginning any wiring work to prevent shorts or accidental circuit activation. Use appropriate wire strippers and crimp terminals rated for 16 AWG conductors, and follow SAE and applicable vehicle manufacturer wiring practices when routing and securing the wire. Avoid running the wire in contact with sharp edges or heat sources that exceed the 85 degrees F insulation rating.
