BNTECHGO18 Gauge Silicone Wire Kit 10 Color Each 5 ft Flexible 18 AWG Stranded Tinned Copper Wire

This is my review of Bntechgo’s Silicone Wire (30 gauge)I received 10 strands with each one being 10 feet (3 meters) in length for a total of 100 feet (30 meters) of wire.I use it in the lighting of bookshelf dioramas and small models, and it is perfect for my needs. It is tinned copper, and it is easy to strip off the coating (silicone rubber), plus the tinning of the copper wire makes it easy to solder.Do one simple thing firstThe wire strands come rolled up and secured with a Velcro strap. Remove the strap and carefully find the ends of the 10 strands, then gather them together and carefully unroll the wires. That way you will not have any tangles, and because these wires are so thin, tangles can be a real problem to deal with. In addition, I put a hook on the wall and draped the unrolled wires over it. That keeps them from getting tangled, and gives you easy access, when needed.I did not have a chance to check out its use in hot-and-cold environments; however, the coating is silicone, and that material is known for its ability to operate in extreme temperatures, high or low.One of my included photos shows a diorama that I made, but I did not like the lighting, so I redid it, using this wire and some LED’s.Good reliable wire.

This wire is exactly as stated on the label. 10 lengths, different colors, etc etc.Proper gauge? Surprisingly, yes. (I've ordered several sizes of this specific wire. I'm going to keep ordering it, too.)Silicon jacket? Ultra Flexible? High Temp? ABSOLUTELY! Of the highest quality - I regularly expose this jacketing to actual soldering temperatures, and it discolors momentarily. That's it. No melt, no shrink, no embrittling. It's even printed properly.The conductor itself is of superb quality - flexible, straight, properly grouped, solders readily, crimps without splitting.The only downside is that I've now been spoiled, and I'm never going to buy another kind of wire again so I really hope they don't take advantage of that. (Jokes.)Bottom line - I use wire for my profession. I use wire for my hobbies. If you're looking for the best wire you've ever used, this is probably it -- and if it's not, I want to hear about it. Buy with confidence.PSA - if you'd like to avoid the strands fraying on this wire, use a soldering iron to tin the nub poking out of the silicon jacketing after cutting to length but BEFORE stripping the jacketing. It'll give a nice round little bead, and the solder will keep the strands in line for through-hole or crimp terminal insertion. This one only works with silicon jacket wire, folks.

wire work very well a needed and all colors as needed also very good price and good wire

Seems too thin and flexible to hold up, but time will tell.

Good quality and very flexible. Just what i needed to fix the door wring on my dodge ram pickup that keeps breaking.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I am always needing small low voltage wire for quick fixes or reworking something. I don't want to buy 10 rolls of different colors when all I usually need is less than 12". This was nice to see and it fits my project needs. Multi colors allow me to match what my project came with and lessen the confusion. Nothing overly complex, just simplifying work, and saving some money along the way. No problem storing a dozen rolls either.Thanks.

Exactly what I was looking for. Great quality

Okay quality. Stranded wire itself seems fine, the outer casing is too flexible and heavy for the size of wire causing it to be 'floppy'. Recommend using some outer sleeve depending on the application to protect these wires. Trying to pin this wire into connectors is very difficult because the wire folds over with any pushing force. Would consider another brand next time.
