The amount of current a wire can carry is proportional to its size (gauge), and the wire is generally sheathed with coatings and coverings to insulate and protect it from moisture, chemicals, heat, and abrasion.
This 6061 aluminum meets ASTM B221 specifications.It has a high resistance to corrosion, and an excellent weight-to-strength ratio. 6061 aluminum is a lightweight, general-purpose aluminum alloy that can easily be machined or welded.
.Raw copper is drawn to meet specific size requirements based on the National Electrical Manufacturer’s Association (NEMA) standards. The insulation is made from modified Polyurethane with a polymide overcoat, and protects the coiled wire from short-circuiting. Magnet wire is copper wire with a thin layer of insulation, and is used in a variety of applications including transformers, wound coils, motors, solenoids, and instruments.
Hook up wire is used in a variety of general-purpose electrical applications.. The wire conforms to UL and MIL-spec specifications, and provides excellent uniformity for easy processing, stripping, and terminating. Available in Black, Blue, Brown, Green, Gray, Red, Orange, White, Yellow, & Violet.
