TXL automotive wire is a type of hook-up wire that is extremely durable, impressively flexible, and resistant to high temperatures. These qualities make TXL wire ideal for work on automotive projects including engine projects, upgrades, fixes and restorations. Our TXL wire meets Ford ESB-M1L123-A/A2 and Chrysler MS-8288 specifications.
What is TXL Wire?
TXL wire stands for “thin-wall cross-linked” wire. TXL wire consists of stranded bare copper conductors; this means that the TXL cable is composed of numerous small wires bundled together to form a larger conductor. It is then fortified with a thin-walled, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation. This insulation allows the TXL wire to withstand high temperatures and protects it from abrasion, chemicals, fuels, and solvents. TXL automotive primary hook-up wire is rated for up to 60V and 125°C (257°F).
What is TXL Wire Used for?
Thanks to these properties and TXL wire’s flexibility and durability, it is used primarily in automotive engine applications. Specifically, it is recommended for automotive engines where wire with a small diameter and minimal weight is required.
TXL Automotive Wire Gauges
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. This is the system that determines wire size. The larger the AWG number, the smaller the wire is in diameter and thickness.
When looking to buy TXL hook-up wire, it can be difficult to know which gauge best suits your project. If you are unsure, our experts can help. Go to our Resources page and you'll find a Hook-Up Wire Data Chart. This can help you choose a gauge and provide you with information including the voltage rating, temperature rating, conductor material, and insulation material.
The overall diameters in this wire selection range from 0.128"-0.070" (12-20 AWG). Click on any of our products to learn more about TXL wire specifications and applications.
TXL vs GXL Wire?
TXL wire and GXL wire have similar automotive applications and are both often used for engine repairs of different kinds. The thickness of the wire’s walls is the key difference between TXL wire and GXL wire. TXL wire is thinner, and therefore better suited to applications where space is limited and flexibility is essential. For applications requiring sustained exposure to heat, GXL is the preferred choice. For a comprehensive comparison between TXL, GXL and other wire types, view the Hook-Up Wire Data Chart on the Hook‑Up Wire tab of our Resources page.
