M22759/16-22-48 YELLOW/GRAY BTF STRIPE

M22759/16 Tefzel Wire — 22 AWG, Yellow/Gray Stripe

The M22759/16-22-48 Yellow/Gray BTF Stripe — SKU: M22759/16-22-48-PRSP is a genuine MIL-spec M22759/16 Tefzel-insulated stranded wire in 22 AWG with a yellow/gray 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 excellent 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.

Yellow/Gray — Colour Code 48

Yellow/gray (code 48) at 22 AWG is used for drain wire and screen identification associated with yellow-family sensor signal cables — the gray stripe marking the shield drain function while the yellow base cross-references the conductor to the yellow signal circuit it accompanies. In 22 AWG data acquisition harnesses where multiple shielded sensor cables carry yellow-base signal conductors, using yellow/gray for the corresponding drain wires creates a self-documenting harness structure — the drain wire colour always mirrors the signal wire it screens, eliminating ambiguity during assembly and service without requiring reference to harness documentation at every connection point.

22 AWG — Gauge Selection

22 AWG is the lightest standard gauge in the M22759/16 Tefzel range for motorsport harness signal wiring — the preferred choice for thermocouple extension leads, fine analogue sensor inputs, data acquisition channels, and low-current logic circuits where minimising harness weight and diameter is a primary design objective. 22 AWG Tefzel wire saves meaningful weight over heavier gauges in high-channel-count data acquisition and telemetry harnesses without compromising signal integrity or Tefzel’s exceptional insulation performance. The stranded tin-plated copper conductor provides the flexibility and vibration fatigue resistance essential for motorsport harness routing around tight bends, 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 schedules can order the yellow/gray colour combination without waiting for a custom stripe run — a critical advantage when a specific colour is needed to complete a build on deadline. Arctic Performance Parts maintains a comprehensive range of M22759/16 striped colours across all standard AWG gauges to support professional harness construction.
