Silicone Wire 16AWG (Red, per meter)

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

Key features:

• Flexible 16AWG electrical wire
• Approximately 1.3mm² 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
• Suitable for battery, ESC, motor, lighting and accessory 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
• Motor power connections
• Charging leads and adapters
• Lighting and accessory circuits
