Silicone Wire 8AWG (Red, per meter)

Heavy-duty red 8AWG silicone wire supplied in a 1-metre length. It features flexible silicone insulation and a finely stranded, pre-tinned copper conductor, making it ideal for high-current electrical connections where flexibility, reliability and easy soldering are important.

The tin coating provides improved corrosion and oxidation resistance compared with bare copper. This makes the wire particularly suitable for RC boats, marine models and other installations that may be exposed to damp or humid conditions. The pre-tinned strands are also easier to solder to compatible connectors, terminals, batteries and electronic speed controllers.

This wire is suitable for RC cars, boats, aircraft, helicopters, drones and other radio-controlled vehicles. It can also be used for robotics, model engineering, charging leads, battery extensions and other suitable low-voltage, high-current electrical projects.

The red silicone insulation makes it particularly suitable for identifying positive power connections.

Key features:

• Heavy-duty 8AWG power wire
• Approximately 8.3mm² conductor area
• Finely stranded tinned copper conductor
• Improved corrosion and oxidation resistance compared with bare copper
• Particularly suitable for RC boats and marine models
• Flexible red silicone insulation
• Easier to solder to compatible connectors and terminals
• Easy to route through confined installations
• Ideal for battery, ESC, motor and power-distribution wiring
• Suitable for RC vehicles, robotics and model engineering
• Red insulation for positive-wire identification
• Supplied in a 1-metre length

Common applications:

• RC battery leads and extensions
• Electronic speed controller wiring
• Brushless motor power connections
• High-current charging leads
• Power distribution systems
• RC cars and large-scale vehicles
• RC boats and marine models
• RC aircraft, helicopters and drones
• Robotics and model engineering
• Other suitable low-voltage electrical projects

Always confirm that the wire, connectors, terminals and solder joints are suitable for the voltage and current requirements of your installation. Tinned copper offers improved corrosion resistance but should still be protected appropriately in wet or marine environments.
