Wire
Our knowledge in automotive wire development and production reaches back to 1949. As a manufacturing company we are aware of wire, material, usage, processes, handling and production - ultimately the complete value chain of wiring harness.
Our continuous orientation and investigation on market, legislation and society trends enable us to develop state-of-the-art wire technologies and support or drive the introduction of new wire technologies and system applications (e.g. Telematics, Entertainment, Green-products). Offering the ideal wire product and being a leading edge technology partner in development with proactivness and pioneering spirit is exactly what YAZAKI stands for.
To always meet general customer demands, YAZAKI’s standard wire program covers the full line of automotive wires and cables such as:
- Single core (optimized for different temperatures)
- Tubed core / multi single core
- Shielded
- Twisted
- Hybrid Electro Vehicle / Electro Vehicle
- Battery cable (different temperature and up to 100 mm²)
- And others

Environmental wire approach
;)
Our environmental philosophy, which is rooted in the company management policy and our long experience with wiring harness has encouraged us for early investigation and developments in:
- Less material appliance (e.g. reduce usage of virgin material)
In the last 40 years innovative technology and production progress enabled us to reduce the outer diameter of our wire from the thick walled PVC insulated wire in the 1970’s to the thin walled PVC range in the 1980’s and to ultra thin walled types in the 1990’s. This technology enhancement is the basis for today’s application on new wire type developments, with less isolation material.
- New materials, which are less harmless to man and environment
Another important step towards our environmental philosophy was done, when in 2000 our first compressed halogen free thin walled wire was introduced, quickly followed by ultra thin halogen free wires. Halogen free material can be recycled without given off acidic gases.
- Weight reduction (e.g. wire size reduction)
The on-going development of smaller, thinner and lighter wires, with the move from 0.35 mm² to 0.22 mm² and 0.13 mm², enabled further steps in tighter packaging and weight reduction. Since 2006 YAZAKI has the 0.13 mm² wire in mass production, currently the smallest available wire size in the automotive industry.

YAZAKI’s complete range of halogen free wire according to ISO 6722 up to now covers the following types and sizes:
| Type | Size |
|---|---|
| Compressed ultra thin | 0.13 ; 0.22 ; 0.35 ; 0.5 ; 1 , 1.5 |
| Super slim | 0.35 ; 0.5; 0.75 ; 1 ; 1.5 ; 2 |
| Thick wall | 3 ; 5 ; 8 ; 10 |
In addition halogen free wire accessories like tubes, convoluted tubes (COT) and tapes have been developed to establish a complete line up in halogen free products and enable a holistic system.
