Southwire 55671523 Automotive Primary Wire 12 Awg Red

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55671523 is a 12 AWG automotive primary wire designed for use in surface vehicle electrical systems. Supplied on a spool in a 100-foot length, this red-coded wire features a PVC outer insulation jacket with a rated maximum temperature of 85 degrees F and a 60-volt rating. The stranded conductor uses a 19/25 strand configuration, providing flexibility during routing and termination. Automotive electricians, upfitters, and fleet maintenance technicians use this wire for general-purpose low-voltage circuit wiring in cars, trucks, trailers, and specialty vehicles.

This wire is suited for residential garage builds, commercial fleet upfit shops, and mobile equipment electrical installations. The red color coding supports organized, traceable wiring in multi-circuit harnesses. At 0.145 inches outside diameter, it routes cleanly through grommets, conduit, and loom. It is appropriate for switched accessory circuits, lighting runs, and other low-voltage DC applications common in surface vehicle electrical work.

Key Features

• 12 AWG stranded conductor with 19/25 strand count for flexibility
• PVC outer insulation rated to 85 degrees F maximum temperature
• 60-volt rating suitable for standard automotive DC circuits
• Red color coding for circuit identification in vehicle wiring harnesses
• 100-foot spool packaging for bench or field use
• 0.145 inch outside diameter fits standard automotive grommets and loom

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose use in surface vehicle electrical systems including automotive, truck, trailer, and mobile equipment low-voltage DC wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by automotive electricians, upfitters, or qualified vehicle technicians. Disconnect the vehicle battery before beginning any wiring work to prevent shorts or accidental circuit activation. Use appropriate wire strippers, crimping tools, and heat-shrink or insulated connectors rated for the circuit load. Follow SAE and applicable vehicle manufacturer wiring standards for routing, securing, and protecting conductors.
