Description
Wire is an essential part of almost any electronic project. Each package contains 10 meters of high quality 18AWG Stranded Core Wire. These smaller bundles mean you can pick up a bunch of different colors for the same price as a single larger roll and keep your wire organized with specific colors for each purpose!
Stranded core wire has a braid of finer copper strands inside rather than one solid piece. This makes stranded wire quite flexible and much less likely to break due to metal fatigue. Stranded wire is ideal in situations where it will be bent or moved over and over again. For situations where a ridged wire is needed (like breadboarding) we do carry Solid Core Wire as well.
18AWG (American Wire Gauge) is the internal size of the wire. Typically with 18AWG you can run several amps a few feet without too much voltage drop, making this ideal for local power distribution for low power projects. For longer distances or higher current, a larger sized wire will be needed (smaller AWG number).
