SXL Wire

In applications where wiring cannot fail—engine compartments, electric powertrains, commercial-grade vehicles—SXL automotive wire is the unspoken hero. At Celestix Industries, we don’t just source SXL wire—we engineer complete, certification-compliant wiring harnesses built around it. This isn’t off-the-shelf. It’s made-to-perform manufacturing.

Unlike traditional low-temperature PVC or even TXL insulation, SXL’s cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) delivers long-term dimensional stability and heat resistance that’s vital for tight routing, high current loads, and thermal cycling. Our harnesses leverage these advantages to offer reliability that scales across fleet programs and platform variants.

SXL in Demanding Environments

To survive in automotive, wires must do more than conduct. They must endure over thousands of operating hours, across thermal extremes, and under mechanical abuse.

These specs give OEMs and Tier-1s confidence that the insulation won’t degrade under pressure. In every condition—high heat, vibration, exposure—SXL maintains its electrical integrity.

Where SXL Wire Has an Edge

You specify SXL when the conditions are non-negotiable:

• Thermal stress: Outperforms GPT and TXL insulation when routing near power modules or internal combustion zones

• Flex fatigue resistance: Withstands bending, clamping, and vibration in long-run harnesses for commercial vehicles

• Chemical exposure: Resists fuel mist, brake fluid, oil spray, and common under-hood contaminants

• Service durability: Ensures long-term function in 5–10 year field life cycles typical of fleet and industrial use

If your platform can’t afford a rerun of field failures due to cracked insulation or intermittent shorts, this is your baseline insulation material.

Celestix Methodology: Material-Backed, Manufacturing-Driven

We’re not reselling. We’re manufacturing from raw wire to final validation.

What We Do at the Design Table:

• Perform DFM audits for stress zones, bend paths, and insulation transition points

• Validate wire-to-connector compatibility under thermal and mechanical loads

• Compare and test SXL versus other insulations like TXL or GXL based on routing and heat soak requirements

What We Control on the Production Floor:

• Precision cutting, stripping, and crimping with digital process monitoring

• Adhesive sealing, overmolding, and grommet integration for ingress protection

• Multi-point harness testing for insulation resistance, continuity, and hi-pot leak detection

What We Guarantee in Delivery:

• Raw material batch tracking for every inch of SXL wire used

• Transparent traceability documentation and compliance to ISO, IATF, and IPC standards

• On-time, in-spec harnesses whether you’re building 50 prototypes or 5,000 units/month
