Flying leads from PCB - automotive use

[Jester]

Single conductor insulated wire #18 in various colors. What ratings are acceptable for interior automotive use under/behind dash (think car stereo)

Can anyone provide a link to acceptable wire?

I would imagine the automotive industry standards must have minimum temperature and abrasion criteria?

Thank you.

[Moved]Flying lead pad hole size

Looking at a wire diameter chart I find the following:

#16, 51 mils
#18, 40 mils

Space is very limited on this board, is a 52mil hole acceptable for direct soldering of a #18 stranded conductor, or would it be too finicky trying to insert?

#18 @ 40 mils is for solid.
a stranded #18 is slightly under 50 mils

This link has a useful pdf chart of hole sizes for various wire sizes.

Thanks for pointing that out, the chart is a great reference.
