Southwire 55835023 Automotive Primary Wire 18 Awg 100 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55835023 is an 18 AWG automotive primary wire designed for use in surface vehicle electrical systems. This 100-foot spool features a green PVC outer insulation jacket with a 16/30 strand configuration, giving it the flexibility needed for routing through tight automotive and equipment wiring runs. Rated at 60 volts and a maximum temperature of 85 degrees F, this wire meets SAE standards for automotive primary wiring. The color-coded green insulation supports clean, organized circuit identification during installation. Licensed auto electricians and experienced technicians use this wire for power distribution, accessory circuits, and general low-voltage vehicle wiring work.

This wire is suited for 12-volt and 24-volt surface vehicle electrical systems including cars, trucks, trailers, and off-road equipment. The spool package format makes it practical for shop use where multiple runs of the same gauge and color are needed. The 18 AWG sizing is appropriate for lower-current accessory circuits such as lighting, sensors, and auxiliary switches in vehicle electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified auto electrician or experienced technician familiar with vehicle wiring practices. Disconnect the vehicle battery before beginning any wiring work to eliminate shock and short-circuit risk. Use appropriate crimp connectors, terminals, and conduit or loom where wire is routed through areas exposed to abrasion, heat sources, or sharp edges. Follow SAE and vehicle manufacturer wiring guidelines for circuit protection and routing.
