Primary Wire – T4 (150°C)
All-around performer. TE's Raychem automotive composite wire (ACW) for engine harness applications is mechanically robust and provides smaller, lighter wires with high performance for fluid resistance.
Proven, high performance engine bay wire. Our Raychem T4 automotive composite wire (ACW) is 150° C rated, provides a class D thin-wall, is mechanically robust and has a composite wire for engine harness applications. This outer layer is bonded to a radiation cross-linked polyolefin. The unique bonding gives the additional benefit for improvements in the mechanical performance of the wire along with the capability to be terminated using recognized industry standards. The wires provide smaller, lighter and more flexible options, providing easy installation.
ACW dual layer bonded insulation technology.
