M22759/16 Tefzel Wire — 20 AWG, Orange/Black Stripe
The M22759/16-20-30 Orange/Black BTF Stripe — SKU: M22759/16-20-30-PRSP is a genuine MIL-spec M22759/16 Tefzel-insulated stranded wire in 20 AWG with a orange/black striped insulation, supplied by Arctic Performance Parts as a pre-striped BTF (Build To Fill) shelf stock wire for professional motorsport wiring harness construction. M22759/16 is the aerospace and motorsport industry standard wire specification for high-temperature, lightweight, and chemically resistant wiring in demanding electrical environments.
M22759/16 — MIL-Spec Tefzel
M22759/16 uses ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) insulation — the DuPont Tefzel formulation — providing continuous operation at up to 150°C, exceptional resistance to fuels, oils, hydraulic fluids, and solvents, and outstanding abrasion resistance in a thin-wall construction that minimises conductor diameter and harness weight. These properties make M22759/16 the default wire for professional motorsport harness builders who require maximum reliability in race engine bays, cockpit wiring, and chassis loom applications.
Orange/Black — Colour Code 30
Orange/black (code 30) at 20 AWG is used for auxiliary switched circuit identification where the black stripe distinguishes a specific orange-family conductor as an earth-referenced or return-path circuit associated with the auxiliary system group. The black stripe on orange creates the highest-contrast combination available in the orange wire family — the dark stripe against the bright orange base is immediately visible at connector entry points even in poor workshop lighting or the confined spaces of an engine bay during a trackside repair.
20 AWG — Gauge Selection
20 AWG sits between the lightweight 22 AWG signal wire and the standard 18 AWG harness gauge — used for sensor circuits requiring slightly more current capacity than 22 AWG can provide, switch inputs with higher loop impedance requirements, and ECU output circuits where the load current dictates a step up from 22 AWG without requiring the full capacity of 18 AWG. It is a versatile intermediate gauge widely used in professional motorsport harnesses. The stranded tin-plated copper conductor provides the flexibility and vibration fatigue resistance essential for motorsport harness routing around corners, through grommets, and along chassis runs subject to flex during vehicle operation.
BTF Shelf Stock — Ready to Ship
The PRSP designation confirms this wire is held as pre-striped shelf stock at Arctic Performance Parts, available for immediate dispatch. Professional harness builders working to tight build deadlines can order the orange/black colour combination without waiting for a custom stripe run — a key advantage when a specific colour is needed to complete a build on schedule. Arctic Performance Parts maintains a wide range of M22759/16 striped colours across multiple AWG gauges to support professional harness construction.
