Abstract
This invention relates to the manufacturing of a seven-wire symmetrical hybrid conductor (one hard copper alloy wire in the center—six hard ETP copper peripheral wires) in 24 and 26 AWG gauges that fulfills the SAE J-1678 and Ford specifications with regard to electrical resistance and breaking load, having an outside diameter proper for smooth thin wall insulation.
Claims15
A high mechanical strength, flexible automotive electrical conductor comprising:
- a) a central wire comprising a high strength material in hard condition;
- and
- b) a plurality of wires helically laid about the central wire, wherein the central wire is copper alloy comprising 65 to 90% copper and 10 to 35% zinc.
The process according to claim 14 wherein the wires helically laid about the central wire comprise six wires and are made of 32 AWG gauge hard ETP copper wire to form a 24 AWG gauge wire when the central wire is said 32 AWG gauge wire.
