Striveday 30AWG Tinned Copper Silicone Hook Up Wire 600V Stranded Electrical Cable for DIY Electronics & Electrical Projects (Box-1)

I got this wire because the 40 year old solid core 30ga wire-wrap wire I had on hand was not suitable to use for hacking my Kindle. It. broke. too. easily. Plus, the only color I had was yellow. tl;dr: I am not disappointed once I made a few adjustments. I have stripped a couple of these wires using my 40 year old wire-wrap wire stripper. The last image will hopefully show that, yes indeed, this is 30gs stranded wire. I suspect they drew the wire through a mosquito's mouth. I could not find anything online today that even vaguely resembles my stripper. I did not look only on Amazon. I looked online. In spite of having gazillions of products, Amazon doesn't have everything. My one-stop shopping experience has been irrevocably ruined! Gee, thanks Amazon. You can see the stripper I use in the last picture I've posted with this review. 40 years ago it was the most expensive tool I owned. I do, though I've not tested it, have a wire-wrap tool very similar to this JDV Products HSR30 Tool, Wire, Wrap/Unwrap Strip, Regular with which I have successfully stripped 30ga solid core wire in the past. OK, the way way past. Pros: - The wire is stranded and very flexible. It almost couldn't be more flexible if it was thread. Pleased and impressed by this. - It came in a decently designed, functional, and sturdy box. For storage and dispensing I cannot stress how helpful this is and will be. - The box has a cross dowel that keeps the reels of wire off the bottom of the box allowing for easier dispensing without binding. - There are holes for the wire to come out. You don't have to take the reel out of the box. Cons: - The picture lies! The holes for the wires to come out are not in the bottom third of the box. They're in the top third. Facts are important!bought. eople! 9-) - While the box the reels of wire came in is designed to use to dispense the wire, there is nothing to provide tension during the dispensing of the wire. Obviously too much tension will stretch or break the wire which would not be helpful. A thin bit of foam rubber on the underside of the lis which closes down on the reels might do the trick. Alas, I'm stuck trying a different approach. To fix the tension issue, to help keep the wires from becoming too loose on their respective reels, and to help chaperone the wires to stay one only their own reels I did two things. First, I glued a strip of VELCRO Brand One Wrap Thin Ties, Black, 8 x 1/2-Inch, 100 Count (91140) , hook-side to the box. A second strip, just a tad longer, covers hooks to the glued strip thereby holding the wires flush to the box. Second, I cut the corner off a bit of cardboard and placed it between the back of the box and the wire reels. A picture is provided to help those, like me, who have impaired imaginations. Note, the bend of the corner is in the middle. My hope is that this cardboard insert will suffice in providing enough tension; however, of course, not too much tension.

Nice thin wire for a haunted house project I recently 3d printed. I decided to run thin wire up the lamp pole and this 30AWG was the perfect solution. The wire is very flexible with a good coating on it. I like the box it comes in too, it's easy to store and pull wire when you need it.

Pros: - Extremely flexible: Great for computer wiring were flexbility is needed (esp. in hiding cables to improve airflow through the case). - Reasonably Thick Wire Core: The core is stranded and thick, compared to cheaper wiring that is more insulation than metal wire core. - Insulation is Heat Resistant: A big deal if soldering or using heat-shrink. Doesn't burn/stiffen the insulation like regular PVC insulated wires. Cons: - "Red" Wire is not actually Red: This is a moderate issue in my book. As I'm using this to mainly rewire server fans, especially 8-wire ones, having a proper color that I can eyeball instantly without having to trace it back to the actual Red Wire source would help. Especially since some server fans use both Red and Orange wiring for separate connections. These wires are pretty great, and wonderful to work with in PC-related rewiring or wire-extension works due to the thickness of the core and the heat resistant nature of the silicone insulation. Further, the flexibility the wires afford make cable routing far more convenient. My only complaint is the lack of a true Red colored wire insulation. It's not a problem once all the wires are sleeved for that professional look, but when working with multiple wire groups unsleeved, having to double-check that the orange wires I'm about to wire to the power supply connector are indeed the one connected to their devices' red wire lines is rather inconvenient. If Striveday can actually give true red silicone insulated wiring per pack, this would become 5 stars.

Some people claim this isn’t copper or the wire diameter is wrong. I tested the resistance of 30 feet and it was the correct resistance for copper. The diameter also fits correctly for the 26 gauge hole in my wire strippers. 28 gauge is tight, 30 won’t close. I think a lot of reviewers are clueless. The jacket is good, soft, flexible, strong. It’s not supposed to be super strong. The red color is orange not red, but whatever doesn’t really matter.

Very nice and compact setup. Wire is soft to flex but not enough to just peal off. Building a printer with it.

These are high quality silicon insulated wires. Description mentioned max temperature only 150C but it is actually 200C stamped on the wires. It is important because during soldering they don't burn like cheaper PVC insulation. These wires are the best for the soldering prototyping board - flexible, low impedance and not burned insulation. Deal is good too. Don;t confuse this set with cheaper one which has PVC insulation. It is important because during soldering they don't burn like cheaper PVC insulation. I attached here images of how I setup this wire box. The goal is to prevent entanglement between spools wires while you use them. If not doing it right it is even hard to place spools in box because wires get entangled . 1. before putting spools in the box place sticky tape on the top of each spool to prevent entanglement while setting up (picture 1) 2. after putting spools in the box, drive wires through the respective holes according to the color, then prepare a folded piece of carton to place on the top of the spools 3. now you can remove tapes from spools, place folded carton on the top to keep spools pressed and wires kept in the spools and fully close the box (picture 2) 4. tape the flap of the box as shown on my pictures and end of the wires are waiting to be pulled. That's it. Now, if you did it right, the wires will not entangle , pulling will be smooth, work is easy. (picture 3) Enjoy

Met expectations for a relatively inexpensive item

SU PRESENTACION...

Perfect signal wire, easy to solder. Quick delivery.

In 2017 I bought the 18AWG box. Really smaller than what it looks on the picture. So small that I really wonder if there is really 17 ft. of length of each color. I will have to check that. The plastic reels are way too small, the wires aleays go off their respective reel and then it makes a big spaghetti inside the box. A bit too expensive for what it is. UPDATE JULY 2018 : I needed 22AWG silicone wires and couldn't find a better alternative here on Amazon, so I bough this product again (22AWG this time). The quality is good and the price is fair, but the delivery system is still disastrous! - Real silicone wires : I can put my soldering iron at 450 degrees on the insulation and it doesn't even make a mark - Advertised as 20 feet of wire for each color (22AWG) : I took out the yellow roll and measured and it was really 20 feet long Same problem as with my first purchase the 18AWG box. The wires are on plastic rolls and there's a small wooden rod inside the allow the plastic rolls to spin. Forget about that!!! All the rolls are constantly spinning on their own as you pull one wire out of the box and it makes a huge mess in the box. All the wires then become loose in the box and they wrap over the next rolls. I change my review from 3/5 to 4/5 because : 1) I cannot find any better alternative here on Amazon 2) I find a way to solve that delivery problem : Take out the wooden rod inside the box, then the rolls aren't able to spin freely on their own anymore but I'm still able to pull the wires easily out of the box
