    Copper Wire

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Copper. Copper Wire.
    Highly conductive and soft enough to form, copper wire is the go-to for electrical jobs. It's often used to power motors, create grounding, and wire control panels, lights, and transformers.
    Tin-Coated 110 Copper—More corrosion resistant and easier to solder than uncoated 110 copper wire.
    High-Temperature Nickel-Clad 101 Copper—Stays corrosion resistant and conductive in temperatures as hot as 1200° F.

    Noninsulated

    Stranded

    Ultra-flexible wire is suitable for use in tight spaces, such as control cabinets.
    Wire with eyelets can be cut to length and mounted without terminating, so it’s good for applications that require ground wire to be looped from ground point to ground point with no breaks.
