In stricter senses, the term wire rope refers to a diameter larger than 9.5 mm (3 ⁄ 8 in), with smaller gauges designated cable or cords. [1] Initially wrought iron wires were used, but today steel is the main material used for wire ropes.
The 5-pin has a design and pin layout that is identical to the 7-pin ISO 1724 connector with the exception for the lack of pin 1 (L) and pin 4 (R). This connector is sometimes present on vintage vehicles and the actual wiring may be completely different from what the standard states which means that measuring before connecting is a good idea.
The galvanising bath contains slightly over 0.1% aluminium, added to form a layer bonding between the iron and coated zinc. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Annealing temperatures are around 500 to 565 °C. [ 2 ] Pre-1990 annealing lines used gas-fired heating; post-1990s the use of induction furnaces became common.
A MIL-DTL-38999 circular connector plated with a nickel–teflon composite. Left: plug (male) type connector; Right: receptacle (female) type connector) Electrical or fiber-optic connectors used by U.S. Department of Defense were originally developed in the 1930s for severe aeronautical and tactical service applications, and the Type "AN" series set the standard for modern military circular ...

No. 1 is 0.30 in. (300 thou), and the smallest, No. 50, is 0.001 in. (1 thou or 25.4 µm). The system as a whole approximates an exponential curve, plotting diameter against gauge-number (each size is a approximately a constant multiple of the previous size). The weight per unit length diminishes by an average of approximately 20% at each step.
In electrical power distribution, armoured cable usually means steel wire armoured cable (SWA) which is a hard-wearing power cable designed for the supply of mains electricity. It is one of a number of armoured electrical cables – which include 11 kV Cable and 33 kV Cable – and is found in underground systems, power networks and cable ducting.
Common cable trays are made of galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or glass-fiber reinforced plastic. The material for a given application is chosen based on where it will be used. [6] Galvanized tray may be made of pre-galvanized steel sheet fabricated into tray, or may be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication.
