The run drawn here is the reference topology for this part. Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. Confirm your own run length, routing and terminations before ordering — open this part in the designer to size it against your actual system.

02 — Reference run

What size cable and fuse does the VDI-32 need?

There is no standalone feed to size here: this part either has no positive current-carrying terminal or declares no continuous draw or rated output of its own, so a lone cable number would really be its terminal rating. Its cables are sized by the circuits they serve — use the terminal map and the complete-system fit check.

Catalog profile

The manufacturer, model, ratings and terminal map are maintained as planning data in Crimp's component catalog. Confirm the current manufacturer manual, exact revision and installed nameplate before ordering or wiring.

Engine reference

Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. The published conductor, fuse and voltage-drop result uses the visible reference length and current basis; it is not a universal installation prescription.
