TY-RAP 4″ 18# CABLE TIES 1000PCS

Description

Thomas & Betts TY-RAP 4″ 18 lb Cable Tie — 1,000-Piece Pack for Motorsport Harness Management

The TY23MX is a Thomas & Betts TY-RAP nylon cable tie in 4″ length with a 18 lb tensile strength rating, supplied in a 1,000-piece pack. TY-RAP cable ties are among the most widely specified cable ties in professional motorsport and industrial harness construction, recognised for consistent quality, reliable latch performance, and long-term resistance to the thermal and chemical environment of a race car. These ties are suited to small wire bundles, fine sensor harness securing, and tight-clearance routing tie points in motorsport harnesses.

Thomas & Betts TY-RAP — The Professional Harness Tie Standard

Thomas & Betts TY-RAP ties are manufactured from natural nylon 6/6 to consistent dimensional and material specifications, providing a rated tensile strength that is repeatable across the pack rather than variable as commonly seen with generic cable ties. In a motorsport harness, the cable tie is the primary mechanical retention element for every wire bundle — it holds the harness in its correct routing position, prevents chafing against vehicle structure, and maintains the harness layout through thousands of kilometres of vibration, heat cycles, and mechanical shock. A tie that fails prematurely releases the bundle to chaff against adjacent metalwork, which can cut through wire insulation within a single race distance.

4″ / 18 lb — Application Selection Guide

The 4″ length suits small wire bundles, fine sensor harness securing, and tight-clearance routing tie points in motorsport harnesses. Cable tie length should be matched to the bundle diameter plus clearance for routing: a tie that is too short cannot be fully looped around the bundle, while an excessively long tie leaves a protruding tail that can snag adjacent harness sections or vehicle components. The 18 lb tensile rating is appropriate for the bundle size and routing forces encountered in the stated application range — higher-rated ties are heavier and less flexible, so matching the rating to the actual load requirement is good harness construction practice.
