Southwire 56422023 16 Awg Automotive Primary Wire 100 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 56422023 is a 16 AWG automotive primary wire designed for use in surface vehicle electrical systems. This 100-foot spool is insulated with PVC and rated for up to 60 volts and 85 degrees F maximum operating temperature. The green color coding aids in circuit identification during installation and service. With a 19/29 strand count, the conductor is flexible enough for routing through tight runs in engine bays, cab interiors, and accessory wiring harnesses. Licensed automotive electricians and experienced technicians rely on this wire for reliable low-voltage circuit work in cars, trucks, and fleet vehicles.

This wire is suited for a wide range of 12-volt and low-voltage DC automotive and light-vehicle applications. Common uses include accessory wiring, trailer harnesses, aftermarket lighting circuits, and general electrical repairs on surface vehicles. The 100-foot spool provides enough length for multi-run installations without splicing. The green insulation helps differentiate this conductor from other circuits in a harness, supporting clean and traceable wiring layouts in both new builds and repair work.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use primary wire for surface vehicle electrical systems meeting SAE standards for 16 AWG automotive primary wire applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive electrician or technician. Disconnect the vehicle battery before beginning any wiring work to prevent shorts or accidental circuit activation. Use appropriately rated connectors, terminals, and strain relief where the wire passes through bulkheads or sharp edges. Follow SAE wiring guidelines and any applicable vehicle manufacturer specifications for circuit protection and conductor routing.
