    Compare wire vs. cable and choose the right option based on gauge, number of conductors, insulation, and current rating.

    Wrap Wire

    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.

    Wrap Wire Tools
    Use a wrap wire tool to make a tighter connection than wrapping by hand. The tool also unwinds wire from the post.
    Wrap a coil tightly around a terminal post for a strong electrical connection. These compact tools won't bump into neighboring terminal posts and disrupt the rest of your circuit board, making them ideal for accessing posts that your hands can’t reach. Thread stripped wire into the tip, insert the tool over a post terminal, and twist to form a coil. Alternate between winding and unwinding by reversing the tip, just as you would a screwdriver bit.

    Dispenser Box Shown Open

    Keep multiple colors of wrap wire on hand to color code connections in circuit boards for easy identification. This wire winds around a post terminal to make a strong electrical connection—no soldering needed. Lightweight and flexible, it stays in the shape you bend it for a tight hold.
    All of these assortments come with a wire stripper to cut and strip your wire. Store and organize the wire with the included dispenser box.
    PVDF Outer Jacket—This wire has a PVDF outer jacket, which resists breaking down from chemicals and melting up to 200° F. Because the jacket is PVDF, it’s commonly known as Kynar wire.
    Silver-Plated Copper Wire—A silver plating shields the wire from corrosion as well as wear and tear.
