APPENDIX – RECOMMENDED
PARTS AND SUPPLIERS
WIRE
Wire supplied with most nitrous kits and other
automotive accessories is usually un-tinned copper
with a low number of strands. The unprotected copper
in this inexpensive wire quickly oxidizes, especially
when in contact with dissimilar metals on terminals.
The low number of strands limits life in applications
where flexing occurs. We recommend the use of high
quality industrial grade wire with tinned copper strands
and a high strand count.
18-20 AWG sizes can be used for all signal and
low current applications. 16-18 AWG is adequate for
purge solenoid wiring. 14 AWG should be used for high
current fuel and nitrous solenoid wiring. Carol UL grade
1007/1015 wire is available from Digi-Key.

WIRE LABELS
To avoid confusion and possible serious
problems, all wires going into terminal blocks must be
uniquely identified, either by wire color or wire labels
(also called markers). Using a single wire color (white
is preferred) along with wire labels is the most cost
effective solution. A Panduit write-on type label
dispenser is available from Digi-Key. Use a fine point
permanent marker to write on these labels.

1.00” x 0.38” write-on area
You can also use Avery P/N 15510
weatherproof white labels (1” x 2-5/8”) available at
Office Depot and other office supply stores. Cut these
in half and fold over the wire to make a flag style label.
CRIMP TERMINALS
High quality crimp terminals and a proper
crimping tool are required to make reliable electrical
connections. Crimp terminals commonly sold in
automotive and hardware stores have brittle vinyl
insulation that easily cracks. We recommend the use of
high quality industrial grade nylon insulated crimp
terminals. The following parts are available from Digi-
Key.

SWITCHES
Safety and reliability concerns dictate the use of
rugged industrial quality switches. Low profile rocker
switches are preferred for automotive applications. We
recommend the C&K DM series miniature rocker
switches available from Mouser Electronics. The SPST
version with LED is ideal for use as an arming switch
with status indication. The SPDT momentary version is
ideal as a manual purge switch.
