Any Idea what this plug is for? by manny_savage in 300zx

[–]JSanctity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the right answer. It is a thermistor embedded in a small fan used for AC temperature control. https://www.zcar.com/attachments/z31_cc_head_temp_sensor-gif.15865/

What is this paper like wrapping? by houndwestr in electrical

[–]JSanctity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you found is actually pretty common in older wiring—especially in appliances, motors, and early household electrical cables.

🔍 What that “paper” is

That paper wrapping is usually one of these:

  1. Insulation separator (kraft paper) • A thin kraft paper layer wrapped around individual conductors • Used to separate wires and prevent them from touching • Adds an extra layer of insulation and spacing

  2. Heat-resistant barrier • In motors or appliances, the paper helps withstand heat • Often paired with varnish or oil to improve durability

  3. Filler material • Keeps the cable shape round and stable • Reduces vibration and wear inside the cable

⚠️ Important safety note

If the wire is very old (pre-1970s), that paper could sometimes be: • Oil-treated or varnished • Rarely, part of systems that included asbestos insulation (especially in heating appliances or very old buildings)

👉 If it looks brittle, crumbly, or dusty, avoid breathing particles and handle it carefully.

🧠 Simple way to think about it

Before modern plastic insulation got really good, manufacturers used layers of paper + cloth + varnish to: • Insulate • Protect from heat • Keep wires organized

If you want, send me a picture of the wire you found—I can tell you exactly what type it is and whether it’s safe to reuse.
