22 AWG M22759/32 Tefzel Wire for Motorsport Wiring
22 AWG M22759/32 Tefzel wire is commonly used in motorsport, performance automotive, race car and custom wiring harness builds where compact size, low weight, heat resistance, chemical resistance and long-term reliability matter.
22 AWG is a common choice for low-current wiring circuits such as ECU signal wires, sensor inputs, CAN wiring, relay triggers, PDM triggers, switch inputs, data acquisition wiring and general control wiring.
12Volt Motorsports stocks 22 AWG Tefzel wire in common colours for professional harness construction. We are based in Altona Meadows, Melbourne and ship Tefzel wire Australia-wide.
What is 22 AWG Tefzel Wire Used For?
22 AWG Tefzel wire is typically used for low-current circuits where a small, lightweight and durable wire is needed. It is often used in ECU harnesses, sensor branches, switch panels, CAN wiring, dash wiring and low-current control circuits.
It is not normally used for high-current loads such as fuel pumps, thermofans, main power feeds or starter circuits. For those circuits, a larger wire size should be selected based on current draw, run length, voltage drop, connector rating and circuit protection.
Common 22 AWG Tefzel Wire Applications
| Application |
Suitability |
| ECU sensor inputs |
Commonly suitable for low-current signal wiring |
| CAN wiring |
Commonly used when built as a twisted pair and terminated correctly |
| Relay triggers |
Suitable for low-current trigger wiring |
| PDM trigger inputs |
Suitable for low-current digital input and control wiring |
| Switch panel wiring |
Suitable for low-current switch and signal circuits |
| Injector or coil power |
Usually too small unless the circuit current, run length and protection are confirmed |
| Fuel pumps or thermofans |
Not suitable. Use a larger wire size selected for the actual load |
How Do I Choose the Right Tefzel Wire Size?
Wire size should be selected based on current draw, circuit length, voltage drop, ambient temperature, bundling, connector rating, terminal rating, fuse rating and PDM current limit. Do not choose wire size from current draw alone.
22 AWG is useful for compact, low-current wiring, but larger circuits should be checked properly before choosing a wire size. If the circuit carries significant current or runs a long distance through the vehicle, voltage drop may require a larger wire.

What Should I Use With 22 AWG Tefzel Wire?
22 AWG Tefzel wire is commonly used with Raychem DR25 heatshrink, adhesive-lined heatshrink, Deutsch DTM connectors, ECU plugs, splice sleeves, labels and harness documentation.
Raychem DR25 is used as the outer harness sleeving. Adhesive-lined heatshrink is used for sealing, splice protection and strain relief. Deutsch DTM connectors are commonly used for sensors, switches and smaller motorsport wiring branches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy 22 AWG Tefzel wire in Australia?
12Volt Motorsports stocks 22 AWG M22759/32 Tefzel wire in Australia in common motorsport wiring colours. We are based in Melbourne and ship Australia-wide.
What is 22 AWG Tefzel wire used for?
22 AWG Tefzel wire is commonly used for ECU signal wiring, sensor wiring, CAN wiring, relay triggers, PDM triggers, switch inputs, dash wiring and other low-current motorsport wiring circuits.
Can I use 22 AWG Tefzel wire for CAN wiring?
Yes. 22 AWG wire is commonly used for CAN wiring when the CAN pair is twisted and the network is terminated correctly. Follow the ECU, dash or device manufacturer’s CAN wiring requirements.
Can I use 22 AWG Tefzel wire for injectors or coils?
Usually 22 AWG is better suited to signal and low-current control wiring. Injector and coil power circuits often need larger wire depending on current draw, run length, connector rating and circuit protection.
Is 22 AWG Tefzel wire suitable for fuel pumps or fans?
No. Fuel pumps and thermofans normally require larger wire sizes selected for the actual current draw, run length, voltage drop and protection method.
Do you ship 22 AWG Tefzel wire Australia-wide?
Yes. We ship 22 AWG Tefzel wire to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin and everywhere in between.
