Automotive
This collection includes a range of automotive wire spools and kits, including GPT primary wire, SXL, GXL, and TXL wire, and a variety of battery and trailer cables.
All of our automotive wire meets the specifications for SAE J1128, and some meets specifications from manufacturers like Ford and Chrysler. As such, these types of wire are perfect for routing power to and from batteries, lights, brakes, and other systems between cars, trucks, trailers, RVs, and more.
What is Automotive Wire?
Automotive wire is a type of electrical wire that is suitable for use in vehicles, and tends to have a maximum voltage rating of 60 volts. Because it is designed specifically for use in automotive electrical systems, it is heat-resistant, durable, and flexible. All our automotive primary wire complies with SAE J1128 standards.
There are various types of auto wire; GPT wire is the most common, and GXL, SXL, and TXL are other popular choices for Ford and Chrysler vehicles. GPT wire has a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating, while GXL, SXL, and TXL wire have cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) coatings.
Common Applications for Automotive Wire
The automotive wire you’ll find here is suitable for a wide range of lower-voltage applications, including:
- Working on lighting and other low-voltage circuits.
- Routing power to and from batteries and brakes.
- Connecting sensors.
- Vehicle wiring harnesses.
- Wiring ignition systems.
- Connecting audio systems, infotainment, and accessories.
- Completing aftermarket upgrades.
- Restoring and rewiring projects, including classic vehicles.
The versatile properties of automotive hook-up wire also make it suitable for use in electric motor and generator projects.

Automotive Wire FAQs
Find answers to some of the most common questions about our auto wire.
Is Remington automotive wire SAE compliant?
Yes, all our automotive wire meets the specifications for SAE J1128.
Can automotive primary wire be used outside the automotive industry?
Yes, automotive primary wire is very versatile and can be used in trailers, electric motors, generators, and more. However, do carefully consider the specifications, temperature rating, and environment before using automotive wire for alternative applications.
How can I choose between automotive wire kits and spools?
This decision depends on your application and preferences. Purchasing an automotive wire kit means you’ll stay stocked up and have a variety of colors available to you, which can be very convenient when completing a vehicle restoration or similar project. If you only need a single color, or will need a variety of gauges, it may make more sense to purchase single spools.
