Also known as hook-up wire, this wire is primarily used for wiring electrical panels, lighting, and plant floor equipment. It meets UL 1007, UL 1015, or UL 1569 for appliance wiring.
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.
When pulled lengthwise, this wire 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).
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).
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.
Often used in automated applications such as robotics, this wire withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.
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 UL94V0 for flame retardance.
Also known as Tefzel 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. A silver-plated finish provides corrosion resistance and strength.
Use a wire wrap tool (sold separately) to make a tighter connection than wrapping by hand. The tool also unwinds wire from the post.
Use this tool to tightly wrap wire around a post terminal for a good connection. Insert the wire and the post into the tool; twist the tool to wind the wire around the post. To unwind, use the opposite end of the tool.

This cable can be stretched by about 40% and return to its original length, making it useful for applications where cable is in motion. It's often sewn into garments or used with equipment that must be worn. The stretchable properties give it a long flex life. Vibration and motion won’t degrade signal transmission.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Often used in computers, small electronics, and electronic prototyping, this cable is very flexible with small gauge wire to handle tight curves in narrow spaces. It withstands continuous motion, so it’s also commonly used around heavy vibration and in automated tasks, including robotics. A braid shield blocks interference from nearby equipment.

Rated to 17,000 volts AC or higher, this cable is often used in oil drilling, robotics, and festoon systems. It withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission. With a flat shape, it’s good for tight spaces. It meets UL 94V0 for flame retardance.
Bend radius is the point to which the cable will bend without being damaged. It is measured from the center of the bend to the edge of the cable. The smaller the measurement, the tighter the bend.
