Silicone Wire 16AWG (Black, per meter)

Flexible black 16AWG silicone wire supplied in a 1-metre length. It features soft silicone insulation and a finely stranded, pre-tinned copper conductor, making it ideal for electrical connections where flexibility, dependable performance 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, lighting systems, accessories and other suitable low-voltage electrical projects.

The black silicone insulation makes it particularly suitable for identifying negative power connections.
