Beru F1 Develops Lighter 30 AWG Wiring Harness Motorsport wiring specialist Beru F1systems has developed a cost-effective solution that allows 30 AWG lightweight wiring systems to be used in harsh environments. Developed in conjunction with Souriau, the process removes the need for special terminals or costly crimp tools, resulting in a wiring loom that is 12 per cent lighter, without the expensive components and tooling of competitor offerings. Gary Norman, principal engineer, said: 'Working closely with an F1 team, we looked at how we could use 30-gauge wire to reduce weight while also considering the increasing cost restrictions that the teams have to comply with. 'Other technologies are available but they require a tool that costs around GBP900, a specific 30 AWG wire that is four times the cost of our solution and they also need special terminals. 'These terminals also limit the range of connectors available, resulting in weight or package compromises,' he added. B...
