Nomenclature of Automotive Cables
According to DIN 76722
In a Simplified manner the type designations of the automotive Cables according to DIN 76722 provide information about
Types of automotive cables
Conductor insulation and Sheathing materials
Conductor designs and coatings
Screening measures for non-extruded coatings
Special design features
Numbers of cores, conductor nominal cross sections, for resistance cables conductor resistance / conductor length
The type designations of the automotive cables ‘accoriding to DIN 76722 are informative but non-binding due to the simpfied
structure of the coding key. the cable designation are not clear. For example for the cable designation FLR31Y11Y 2 x 05mm
several cable structures with a variety of external diameter and core colours may be permissible the coding key is read from
left ti right just as a cable is constructed form inside to outside.
