SHWire offers solutions for almost all applications in automotive winding technology, ranging from classic auxiliary motors to high-load traction applications. Our portfolio of enamelled wires meets the highest standards of temperature resistance, mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation properties.
We work with renowned automotive manufacturers because the industry values us for the quality of our innovative products. Decades of collaboration have given us comprehensive application expertise in the automotive sector.


Innovative Enamelled Wires for the Automobile Industry
Our research and development team is constantly working on innovative wire solutions that are tailored to the specific requirements of the automotive industry, often in close collaboration with our customers. The result is products that set new standards in terms of performance, service life and efficiency.
For example, PI-coated flat wires (SHTherm® 240 PI Flat) are available for automotive applications, requiring maximum temperature and voltage resistance, such as in the high-voltage traction sector. Designed for maximum safety, they meet the highest requirements for thermal, electrical and chemical resistance.
The SHXLife® 220 Round series is a pioneering wire technology for automotive applications involving round wires, such as actuators, sensors and auxiliary motors. Thanks to its innovative insulation concept, it achieves an exceptionally long service life, even under partial discharge, making it particularly well-suited for continuous industrial use.
Meanwhile, classic solderable wires such as the SHSold® V180 and universal wires from the SHTherm® 210 series remain important for robust, economical solutions for low voltage applications.
