Wires

From

Introduction

A wire is a single usually cylindrical, flexible strand or rod of metal. Wires are used to bear mechanical loads or electricity and telecommunications signals. Wire is commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate. Wire gauges come in various standard sizes, as expressed in terms of a gauge number. The term 'wire' is also used more loosely to refer to a bundle of such strands, as in "multistranded wire", which is more correctly termed a wire rope in mechanics, or a cable in electricity.

Challenges

Approaches

An electrical cable is an assembly of one or more wires running side by side or bundled, which is used to carry electric current.

Pre-terminated wires

  • male-male, male-female, female-female 0.1 inch / 2.54 mm header terminated ribbon cables
  • 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 connector pre-terminated single sided jst, jst-xr, molex, xt60
  • 2 conductor, 3 conductor, 4 conductor 14 awg "speaker" wire

Each can be cut in center and stripped to interface with ferrules and electrical connectors or heat shrink solder connectors and other pre-terminated wires.

Lengths

  • 300mm
  • 500mm
  • 1000mm
  • 1500mm
  • 2000mm
