connorsdad Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 What wire should I order for my build using zebs virtual output kit? 24awg and 20awg? Thanks Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampirolatino2 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 24 is the norm, but you can go with both of them, remember that lower awg more thick it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapig Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 American Wire Gauge, oh no that brings back some memories, I worked for an electrical harness manufacturer for a long time, running and fixing machines that cut wire to length and crimped. There was a company in Wales I used to visit that did all the wiring for Sega arcade machines and Bell Fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorsdad Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 20awg for the contactors and knocker, 24awg for the flashers, buttons and everything else? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapig Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 It seems to be pretty low voltage, you could get away with either but to be on the safe side your suggestion sound good. Will you be adding connectors to the ends of the cable? The crimp terminals vary in size and so can accept a range of wire sizes. Even the opening which you push on the tab is a certain size, so if it's to small it won't fit. Nothing a pair of pliers or a screwdriver won't fix, and if your soldering then it doesn't matter.

mikekim Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 go with 20AWG, 24 is a nightmare to get the crimps to stay on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connorsdad Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Cheers lads, 20 all through it is then. Zebulon, looks like I'll be needing that knocker after all, would rather buy a specific one from you safe in the knowledge that it will be spot on Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
