1. Product core introduction
HomeDIYer brand 8AWG - 24AWG stranded automotive equipment cable, made of PVC material and available in 5 colours, is designed for various electrical applications in the automotive field. They are designed to meet the stringent requirements of automotive electrical systems, providing a stable and reliable power transmission solution for car audio upgrades, lighting retrofits, and other electrical equipment installations.
2. The main characteristics of the product
Wide range of AWG sizes: 8AWG to 24AWG to meet the diverse current carrying needs of different electrical devices in the car. For example, high-power automotive electrical appliances such as power seats, car refrigerators, etc. may require 8AWG - 12AWG thick wire diameter to ensure sufficient power supply, while low-power devices such as automotive dashboard indicators, radios and other small-power devices can be used in 20AWG - 24AWG thin wire diameters, which allows the user to select accurately according to the actual application, optimise the allocation of resources, and ensure the normal operation of various devices.
Stranded wire structure has obvious advantages: the stranded wire design provides excellent flexibility, which makes it easy to operate wiring in narrow and complex spaces inside the car, and easily bypass obstacles and corners. At the same time, compared with solid wire, stranded wire can better withstand the vibration and bending of the car, reducing the risk of wire breakage, improving the durability and reliability of the cable, and ensuring a long-term stable electrical connection.
High-quality PVC insulation for safety: PVC insulation has good electrical insulation properties, effectively preventing leakage and short-circuit phenomena, safeguarding the car's electrical system and personnel safety. In addition, it also has a certain degree of abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, which can resist chemical erosion, mechanical friction and temperature changes inside the car, prolonging the service life of the cable, reducing maintenance costs, and providing a stable operating environment for automotive electrical equipment.
5-color differentiation for easy installation and maintenance: 5 different colours of cables are provided to facilitate clear identification and differentiation of wires with different functions in automotive electrical wiring. For example, red can be used for positive power lines, black for negative, and other colours for various signal lines, making the wiring neat and orderly, easy to identify and manage. This not only facilitates the connection of lines during the installation process, but also improves work efficiency by quickly locating and troubleshooting faults during subsequent maintenance and repair.
3. Product use scene
Car audio system optimisation: in car audio modification, connecting amplifiers, speakers, hosts and other equipment, its multiple AWG specifications can be adapted to different power audio components, stranded structure is convenient for wiring in the complex space inside the car, to ensure that the audio system obtains a stable and pure power supply to enhance the sound quality effect, and bring drivers a high-quality music experience.
Automotive lighting system upgrade: Whether it is upgrading headlights, adding fog lights, or creating interior ambient lighting and other lighting equipment, this cable is capable of doing the job. Stable transmission of power to ensure the normal operation of the lighting system, 5 colours of wires to distinguish between different lighting lines, easy to install and debug, enhance the functionality and aesthetics of automotive lighting, and improve the safety of night driving.
Automotive electronic equipment installation: such as car recorder, car navigation, reverse camera, electronic dog and other electronic equipment installation, all rely on reliable power supply and signal transmission. The cable can meet the electrical connection needs of these devices, its flexibility and durability to adapt to various working conditions in the car, to ensure the stable operation of electronic equipment, providing more convenience and safety for driving.
Automotive engine compartment electrical connection: in the engine compartment, connecting the generator, starter, battery, all kinds of sensors and controllers and other key components, high-quality insulation and high-temperature characteristics make it can withstand the high temperature generated by the engine, oil and electromagnetic interference, to ensure the normal operation of the engine compartment electrical system, to maintain the normal function of the car to start and drive.
4. Product use instructions
Preparation before installation:
Carefully inspect the appearance of the cables to see if there are any problems such as breakage, scratches, stripped insulation or loose strands, etc. If there are any defects, stop using the cables immediately and contact the supplier for replacement to ensure that the quality of the cables is intact and undamaged.
Determine the required cable AWG specifications and colours according to the specific needs of the vehicle's electrical equipment, and prepare the necessary installation tools such as wire strippers, crimping pliers, electrician's knife, insulating tape, heat-shrinkable tubing, etc., and make sure that the tools are clean and sharp so as not to damage the cables in the course of operation.
Wiring and Connections:
Follow the automotive electrical system wiring specifications and safety requirements, and avoid contact between cables and sharp objects, hot parts, and moving parts when wiring inside the vehicle to prevent scratches, burns, or damage to the cables due to friction.
During the wiring process, reasonably plan the direction of different coloured cables and mark them well to ensure that the lines are clear and neat for future maintenance and repair. If you need to splice or extend the cable, you should use the appropriate wiring method and connector, and ensure that the electrical properties and mechanical strength of the connection meet the requirements, and at the same time, do a good job of insulation.
Precautions for use:
Use this cable in strict accordance with the rated voltage and current specified in the product specification, and do not exceed the maximum value, so as not to cause electrical safety accidents, damage to vehicle electrical equipment or cause vehicle failure. When connecting multiple electrical devices, accurately calculate the total power and current to ensure that the cable can safely carry the load.
Regularly check the connection parts and overall appearance of the cables for looseness, oxidation, breakage, etc., especially after the vehicle has passed through bumpy road conditions or prolonged use. If problems are found, repair or replace them in time to ensure normal cable operation and electrical safety. When carrying out car maintenance or repair, pay attention to the protection of the cable to avoid man-made damage.
Avoid cable contact with water, oil, chemical solvents and other liquids, vehicle driving in the rain or after passing through the waterlogged road, check whether the cable is damp or water. If the cable is contaminated, wipe it clean with a clean cloth in time, and dry it if necessary to prevent the insulation from deteriorating.
