18 Awg Stranded Hook Up Wire- Black - 1 Metre

Flexible 18 AWG Gauge Construction: Engineered with multi-strand tinned copper wire, providing excellent flexibility, high electrical conductivity, and low resistance for low-to-medium power electrical circuits.

Standard Black PVC Insulation: Classic black color-coded insulation designed for clear DC ground (-V / GND) return paths, AC neutral connections, and clean wiring loom organization.

Flame-Retardant & Heat-Resistant: Insulated with high-dielectric PVC jacketing that withstands thermal exposure, physical abrasion, and general workshop conditions.

Easy Strip & Direct Solder Preparation: Flexible strand bundle strips cleanly without fraying, enabling easy terminal crimping, screw terminal clamping, or direct soldering to PCB pads.

1-Metre Pre-Cut Length: Convenient 1-metre unit ideal for custom benchtop prototypes, power bus jumpers, internal cabinet wiring, and DIY electronics setups.

Conductor & Insulation Material: Multi-strand tinned copper wire core wrapped in flexible, high-dielectric PVC insulation.

Technical Specifications:

Wire Gauge: 18 AWG.

Conductor Type: Stranded Tinned Copper.

Insulation Material: PVC.

Length: 1 Metre.

Color: Black.

Usage Advice: Ensure circuit current remains within standard 18 AWG ampacity limits (typically up to ~7A–10A depending on run length and enclosure type).

Maintenance: Store wire coils in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, sharp metal edges, and high-heat sources.

Essential DC Ground & Power Return Wire: Position as the fundamental ground/negative return cable for 5V/12V/24V power supply wiring, microcontrollers, LED drivers, relays, and robotics.

Highlight High Flexibility & Easy Tracing: Emphasize its multi-strand structure that prevents metal fatigue from movement or vibration, along with standard black color coding for safe grounding circuits.

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with 18 Awg Stranded Hook Up Wire- Red - 1 Metre, 18 Awg Stranded Hook Up Wire- Yellow - 1 Metre, Power Supply Adapter 12V 2A, and ESD antistatic mat 50x40CM PCB Welding Mat.
