Automotive Cable Production:

Automotive cable production involves the manufacturing of cables specifically designed for vehicle electrical systems

Automotive Cables:

Automotive cables are critical for providing electrical connections and powering systems in vehicles. These cables are manufactured according to different standards and types because vehicles have high requirements for both safety and performance.

Automotive Cable Standards

1. ISO 6722 (Road Vehicles - Low Voltage Cables):

   • This standard applies to low-voltage cables used in the automotive industry. It defines characteristics such as temperature resistance, flexibility, abrasion resistance, and voltage drop.

2. JASO D611 (Japanese Automotive Standards):

   • This standard is developed for cables used in the Japanese automotive industry. JASO D611 regulates the flexibility, temperature resistance, and performance characteristics of cables.

3. SAE J1128:

   • Used in the American automotive sector, this standard governs the physical and electrical properties of in-vehicle electrical cables. It includes details about cable materials, insulation properties, and voltage endurance.

4. LV112 (German Automotive Standards):

   • This standard is adopted by German automotive manufacturers and sets the performance criteria for cables used in vehicles.

Types of Automotive Cables

1. PVC Insulated Cables:

   • These cables, insulated with PVC (polyvinyl chloride), are low-cost and widely used. However, they have limited durability at high temperatures.

2. XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) Insulated Cables:

   • These cables are resistant to high temperatures, particularly used in the engine compartment and high-temperature environments. They have low voltage drop and good electrical properties.

3. Teflon (PTFE) Insulated Cables:

   • Resistant to high temperatures (above 200°C) and corrosive chemicals, these cables are used in harsh environmental conditions.

4. Silicone Insulated Cables:

   • Thanks to silicone insulation, these cables can operate in temperature ranges from -50°C to 200°C. They are flexible and durable, making them ideal for use around engines and electrical components.

5. Coated Cables (Loose Tube or Tight Tube):

   • Automotive cables are often protected with additional external coatings to shield them from extreme environmental conditions. These coatings provide protection against high temperatures, humidity, chemicals, and mechanical damage.

6. Double Insulated Cables:

   • These cables have a two-layer insulation system. The inner insulation is typically PVC, and the outer insulation may be XLPE or rubber. They are used in areas requiring high durability and safety.
