Silicone Wire Pair - Black & Red, 18AWG, 1m

Powerful projects are fun to build, and as Makers we often want to pump up the power to its absolute max to see exactly what our marvellous creations are capable of. However, one aspect that still trips up many Makers is Cabling and Wiring, as we often forget that powerful creations need powerful veins to delivery the electric life they need to perform at their max capabilities. This is why we’ve made sure to find this extra powerful, extra resistant silicone wire, which is capable of handling up to 3000V DC and 22A as well as up to 200°C temperatures, so you can unlock the true power of your biggest and best projects.

This Silicone Wire Pair comes as a set of Black & Red 18AWG wires that are 1m long and ready to deliver the power. They feature an internal 1.02mm diameter pre-tinned copper core with a 1mm silica gel insulation around them, making them ideal for extreme situations – but also for general purpose Electronics too. Of course, although these wires can be used for pretty much any purpose, especially given the pretty extreme ratings listed below, we recommend them for uses in which the wiring needs to be temperature resistant, such as in drone or high-power RC applications, with beefy solar power charging systems, or as cabling for tools like the TS100 Soldering Iron, so as to prevent sudden mishaps with high temperatures and high power.

As self-proclaimed “Robo-holics”, DFRobot is a company comprised of over 100 staff members, of which 30% are engineers who love to build robots. It was started in 2008 with the goal of embracing and promoting open-source hardware, with a core focus on Arduino, Raspberry Pi and their very own LattePanda development boards. Since then, DFRobot have manufactured over 1300 unique modules, sensors and components that all work together and complement each other, allowing users like us to enjoy a full spectrum of cutting edge robotics and electronics without having to pay premium prices.

With the primary goal of developing and manufacturing great quality products, while making them accessible to as many people as possible, DFRobot are rapidly becoming one of the most common-place brands in the world of open-source robotics and electronics. With more than 1300 products developed in-house, and an impressive range of different categories and specialisations, there are few brands in the world who can compete in terms of quality, accessibility and genuine innovation.
