Montez Platinum Supporting Member. Messages The best stuff is the Teflon insulated 19 strand silver plated mil spec wire. The Teflon doesn't melt and the 19 strands hold up better than 7 or solid.
Teflon is a bitch to strip DC1 Member. Messages 15, Montez said:. PVC coated stranded wire. DC1 said:. Teflon is easy to strip if you have one of these:. Thanks I'll have to pick one of these up. I actually modified a tool to strip Teflon. Its really not tough if you score the jacket all the way around. Use one of those, and you will never go back. They are the same size btw, it's just the pics that are different.
I would get the one with the thinner handles for the smaller wires. Good to do business with! There are others on Ebay but I have always bought from John. Skycraft Surplus in Orlando. My favorite hangout for the past 30years. You really need to call them or stop by. The website does not do them justice. Avoid solid core unless you like rewiring pedals when it breaks. I have been thinking about switching to 22AWG stranded from 24AWG solid, the solid looks cool but even the slightest nick in the wire causes a weak point where it was stripped.
Is pre-tinned wire a good idea for pedal wiring? Electricians must select the appropriate gauge of wire to use based on the amperage load and application of the project. This is determined by the current frequency that passes through the wire. As electrical currents pass through wires, a skin effect occurs. Because of its thickness, solid wire has a decreased surface area that reduces dissipation.
Because of the given thickness of stranded wire, i. Therefore, it carries less current than similar solid wires can. With each type of wire, insulation technologies can greatly assist in reducing power dissipation. In terms of cost, simplicity, and durability, the advantage goes to solid wire. As a single strand of thick wire it is easy to manufacture and exceptionally resistant to damage.
Its disadvantage is in its lack of malleability and strength. In choosing stranded wire vs. Initial cost vs. Stranded Constructions: Bunch Stranding , Concentric Stranding, Unilay Stranding, Rope Lay Stranding Bunch stranding is a collection of strands twisted together in the same direction without regard to the geometric arrangement.
Concentric stranding consists of a central wire or core surrounded by one or more layers of helically laid wires. Each layer after the first has six more wires than the preceding layer. Except in compact stranding, each layer is usually applied in a direction opposite to that of the layer under it.
Unilay stranding is the same as true concentric; except that the lay length is the same in each layer.
