Product Information

All that really matters, concerning wire diameter, is the current; the insulation determines voltage [well, skin effect too, which can be ignored in thin wire at mains frequencies].

When made with circular strands, these gaps occupy about 25% of the wire area, thus requiring the overall bundle diameter to be about 13% larger than a solid wire of equal gauge.

Measuring strand diameter is often easier and more accurate than attempting to measure bundle diameter and packing ratio. Belden Master Catalog, 2006, although data from there for gauges 35 and 37–40 seems obviously wrong.The table below shows various data including both the resistance of the various wire gauges and the allowable current ( ampacity) based on a copper conductor with plastic insulation.

ASTM B258-02 also dictates that wire diameters should be tabulated with no more than 4 significant figures, with a resolution of no more than 0. Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. If the wire is too thin and long it will add resistance which will reduce both voltage and current at the far end.Here you will find ideas on how to make jewellery findings, bracelets, earrings, anklets and necklaces.
