Best source for wire?

Post by rutledj »

I've been using the teflon coated 22ga from apexjr. but have been thinking more in the line of 20 ga with hi temp pvc coating. Apexjr doesn't ever seem to have the basic colors that I want (Red, Black) in 20 ga.

My stranded, pre-tinned, 600v, +105°C/+221°F, UL 1015 PVC coated wire from PowerWerx. 20 gauge = $10 / 100 feet, by rolls only.

No green w/ yellow stripe for center tap but 10 colors are offered. Gauges from 10 to 22.

Pre tinned wire makes me lazier but I love it.

Even with shipping and border fees the PowerWerx deal is much better than anything I can get in my part of Canada.

"Hi temperature pvc" ? Is there such a thing? Just wondering. The pvc wire I have, melts quickly.
