- Ultra-flexible silicone insulation: This allows for easy bending and maneuvering in tight spaces without compromising performance.
- 18 AWG conductor size: Offers a balance between current carrying capacity and wire diameter.
- Tinned copper conductor: Provides corrosion resistance and improved conductivity.
General Specifications:
- Wire gauge: 18 AWG
- Length: 3 meters (10 feet)
- Color: Red
- Insulation material: Silicone rubber
- Conductor material: Tinned copper
- Voltage rating: Typically 600V (verify with manufacturer)
- Temperature rating: Around -60°C to 200°C
While specific details like weight, dimensions, and internal resistance may vary depending on the manufacturer, here's a general idea:
- Weight: Expect a lightweight wire due to the thin silicone insulation.
- Dimensions: Diameter around 1.0 - 1.3 mm (0.04 - 0.05 inches).
- Internal resistance: Low resistance due to the large number of strands in the 18 AWG conductor (typically less than 0.1 ohm/meter).
Applications:
- RC Hobbies: Connecting batteries to Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs) and other components due to its flexibility and high current carrying capacity for short bursts.
- Electronics Projects: Internal wiring for breadboards, circuits, and DIY projects due to its easy manipulation and color coding.
- Appliance Repair: Replacing internal wires in appliances where flexibility and heat resistance are required.
- LED Lighting: Connecting LEDs due to its small size and ability to handle low currents.
- Sensor Applications: Connecting sensors to data acquisition systems due to its durability in harsh environments.
Note: It's important to consult the datasheet from the specific manufacturer you purchase from for exact specifications and recommended uses.
Additional points to consider that aren't included in the category specifications:
- Energy density and Capacity: These terms are not typically used for wires as they describe batteries' ability to store energy.
- Connectors: This wire typically doesn't have pre-attached connectors. You can add connectors (e.g., spade terminals, alligator clips) based on your project's needs.
