M22759/16-22-89 GRAY/WHITE BTF STRIPE

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

The M22759/16-22-89 Gray/White BTF Stripe — SKU: M22759/16-22-89-PRSP is a genuine MIL-spec M22759/16 Tefzel-insulated stranded wire in 22 AWG with a gray/white 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.

Gray/White — Colour Code 89

Gray/white (code 89) at 22 AWG is used for shield drain identification within white-base signal circuit groups — the high-contrast white stripe on gray providing maximum legibility at the fine 22 AWG scale where stripe visibility is a genuine practical consideration during assembly. In 22 AWG telemetry and data acquisition harnesses where white-base wires carry the majority of sensor signal channels, gray/white for the associated shield drains creates a consistent and immediately recognisable drain wire identity — the white component always pointing to the white signal wire whose cable shield terminates on this conductor, regardless of the total number of shielded channels in the harness.

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 gray/white 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.
