Stranded wire is flexible, so it’s pliable enough to be pulled around corners. The strand count is the number of strands followed by the size of the individual strand. The higher the number of strands, the more flexible the wire.

Flame rated VW-1 wire meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Our most chemical-resistant wire—the PTFE insulation protects against most chemicals, solvents, and oil. The PTFE is slippery, so it withstands some abrasion. The wire has a silver-plated finish for corrosion resistance and strength. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. Rated MIL-W-16878/4-Type E, it meets stringent military specifications for material quality. Also known as hook-up wire.

Nearly half the diameter and up to 40% lighter than standard wire of the same gauge and voltage, this wire fits in tight spaces. Also known as hook-up wire, it’s good for wiring electrical panels and plant floor equipment, or can be used as an alternative to building wire. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames, based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Eliminate tangles—the slippery insulation on this wire won't catch on itself, other wires, or on rough surfaces. It’s also known as hook-up wire.

The shielding in this wire blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. When pulled lengthwise, it extends 40% and then returns to its original length, so it's useful for high-vibration and continuous-motion applications such as robotics. It’s also known as hook-up wire.

Pinch clamps (sold separately) act as ferrules to hold insulation in place in continuous-motion applications. Crimp the pinch points on the clamp to install (crimper not included).

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, this wire withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.

Wire is a UL recognized component.

Wire gauges 18-28 are UL recognized components up to 150V AC.

A thick insulation protects this wire from high voltages while maintaining flexibility. The insulation also resists moisture. Often used in automated applications such as robotics, it withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.

This wire wraps around a post terminal on a circuit board to make an electrical connection, eliminating the need for soldering. It stays in the shape you bend it for a tight wrap around the post. A silver-plated finish provides corrosion resistance and strength.

PVDF wire is also known as Kynar wire.

Use a wire wrap tool (sold separately) to make a tighter connection than wrapping by hand. The tool also unwinds wire from the post.

Also known as magnet wire, this wire is commonly used in motors, transformers, relays, and other high-speed winding applications. It meets NEMA 1000 MW-35C for material quality and -73C for use in sealed motors and material quality. It stays in the position you bend it.

Transmit audio, video, and data signals over long distances with minimal signal loss.

Push in RCA and S-video cords to connect.

Often used to connect multiple monitors to a single computer, these cords send video and audio to a display device. Shielding blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Make quick, secure connections between your development board and your system’s components, such as sensors and actuators. These cords transmit data via I²C communication protocol, supporting up to 100 I²C devices in your system.

Machine-pin plugs and sockets use friction to make temporary connections to breadboards and the headers on development boards.

Qwiic and Grove sockets snap securely into place, making them good for short-term and long-term installations. There is no need to solder wire to your board or device.

Securely connect equipment in data or signal applications. These cords have A- or B-coded plugs to meet the needs of your device. Because they have smaller connectors than standard cords, you can connect them to smaller equipment and snake them through tighter spaces. You can even use them to create multiple connection points in a compact area. These cords have a metal locking tab that secures the connectors to sockets and is less likely to break than plastic ones if yanked or bumped. All of these cords are shielded to block interference from nearby equipment. They will connect with any ix industrial sockets that meet IEC 61076-3-124. They also meet UL data transmission standards and Canadian electrical standards.

A- and B-coded plugs are not compatible with each other.

Choose cords with A-coded plugs for data applications. You can use them in place of Ethernet cords with RJ45 or M12 connectors.
