Ptfe Teflon Wire 18Awg 0.817 Mm2 - Tinned Copper, 600V, Black/Red

PTFE Teflon Wire 18 AWG 0.817 mm2 - Tinned Copper, 600V

PTFE Teflon Wire 18 AWG 0.817 mm2 is a high-temperature assembly wire for electronics, service harnesses, sensors, control modules, and more robust power connections. It is sold by the meter - 1 pc. means 1 meter of wire.

The 18 AWG variant has a larger cross-section than 20 AWG, 22 AWG, 24 AWG, and 26 AWG, so it is suitable where the wire must be more mechanically resistant and carry a higher load than thin signal wires.

PTFE insulation withstands temperature well during soldering and reduces the risk of insulation retreating when working with the tip.

• Size 18 AWG / 0.817 mm2 - a more robust assembly wire for electronics and connections with a larger cross-section reserve.

• PTFE Teflon insulation - high temperature resistance during soldering and service work.

• Tinned oxygen-free copper - easier tinning of terminals and more stable soldered connections.

• Rated voltage 600V - insulation reserve for electronic and workshop applications.

• Outer diameter 1.7 mm - the wire is significantly stronger mechanically than thinner AWG variants.

• Colors black and Red - quick marking of minus and plus in the bundle.

• Sold by the meter - 1 pc. = 1 m, longer sections are shipped in one piece.

Who is this cable for?

• For electronics services that need a cable resistant to soldering temperatures.

• For people building more robust wiring harnesses in devices, RC models, FPV drones and DIY projects.

• For users who need a thicker cable than 20 AWG, but still in a compact diameter.

• For projects in which black and red are to clearly indicate the polarity of the power supply.

Who is NOT this cable for?

• This cable is not intended for the main power supply of large high-current installations without first selecting the cross-section for the current.

• It does not replace Very thick silicone wires used in the main power line in powerful FPV setups.

• It won't be as soft as silicone wire - PTFE is thermally resistant, but usually less flexible.

Why use 18 AWG PTFE wire?

18 AWG is a good choice for connections that require more robustness than typical thin signal wires. It works well in short harnesses, light module power supplies, installations inside enclosures, and projects where the wire will be laid or bent more frequently.

PTFE insulation helps maintain a clean wire termination during soldering. With a larger cross-section, the heating time can be longer than with 22-26 AWG, so the insulation's temperature resistance is practical in workshop work.

• More robust power connections in electronics and DIY projects.

• Wire harnesses in housings, RC models, and service equipment.

• Connections of modules, sensors, controllers, and actuators.

• Servicing FPV drones, receivers, flight controllers, and peripheral modules.

• Connections requiring greater mechanical resistance than thin 22-26 AWG wires.

• Black - most often used for ground, negative, or neutral wires.

• Red - most often used for positive power or wires requiring quick marking.

FAQ - frequently asked questions

Does 1 piece mean 1 meter of cable?

Yes. The cables are sold by the meter - 1 pc. means 1 m of cable. When purchasing a larger quantity, a longer section is prepared in one piece, if stock allows.

Is PTFE cable 18 AWG suitable for soldering electronics?

Yes. PTFE insulation is resistant to high temperatures, making the wire suitable for soldering electronic modules, service harnesses, small PCBs, and more robust assembly connections.

What is the difference between 18 AWG and 20 AWG?

18 AWG has a larger cross-section, lower resistance, and greater mechanical strength than 20 AWG. It is better where the wire needs to be more robust and have a larger cross-sectional area.

Is this wire suitable for the main power supply of an FPV drone?

It can only be used after selecting the cross-section to the actual installation current. For powerful ESCs, XT30, XT60, and main power cables, select a wire based on the current load of the entire system.

Avifly expert tip: With 18 AWG PTFE, it works well to first tin the wire end and use a tip with a higher thermal capacity. This shortens the heating time on the pad and reduces the risk of overheating the soldering pad. Color: nan Size: nan
