Shonsin 8 Gauge Silicone Wire Spool 25FT Black, Extremely Flexible 8 AWG Automotive Wire, 1650 Strands 0.08mm Tinned Stranded Copper (8.29mm2) High Temp 392℉/200℃ Rating 65 Amp 600V

Great Thanks

I used the wire for my high volt components, I am not having any issues.

Not stiff enough for solar and its too stranded for the application. Fast shipping. Seems like a good company; but did not work for me. Im reviewing the 10 awg. 100 foot version which is not available now.

This is nice quality wire with super flexible silicone sheathing. Great for hobby projects.

This is the nicest softest most flexible wire I’ve ever felt. Very easy to run and tuck through the car.

PRODUCT NAME AND IDENTIFICATION NAME: Shonsin 16 Gauge Wire (25ft Red and 25ft Black) Ultra Flexible Silicone ASIN: B085HX8W5X QUICK OVERVIEW On a Scale of 1 to 10 where 10 is the best. --FUNCTION (10 of 10): Very flexible and easy to bend. --FIT, FINISH, QUALITY (10 of 10): Everything is top notch. --TECHNICAL (10 of 10): All copper wire, but not tinned. OVERALL RATING: 10 DETAILED REVIEW Overview It’s wire, right? Not so fast. There is a lot of wire being sold on Amazon that looks copper, but is actually copper clad aluminum wire (CCA). Pure copper is what you want, unless you are sure aluminum (CCA) can work for your application. This is pure copper stranded wire in a very supple and bendable silicon insulation. I’m using it for multimeter leads and other electronics applications. This wire is not “tinned” which means it not protected from oxidation with a thin film of tin coating. In most applications, you don’t need tinned wire. It’s more expensive, and if you don’t need it, don’t spend the extra money on it. Tinned copper wire is just as conductive as bare copper wire, but resist corrosion. If you are not using it for applications where the copper is exposed to acidic soil, high heat, or high humidity, non-tinned copper is cheaper and will be fine. You can test to see if wire is CCA by rubbing it on a piece of fine sandpaper (1500 grit), and if it is CCA, you will get a silver rub mark from the aluminum wire on the sandpaper. Just make sure you rub enough to get through the CCA itself, down into the copper wire. This wire is definitely copper. CONCLUSION AND FINAL THOUGHTS This product met exceeded my expectations. There really isn’t much more to say. When looking for silicon insulated wire, and wire in general, you want to make sure you are getting pure copper wire, not Copper Clad Aluminum wire (CCA). Also, the suppleness of the silicon, how well it bends, is important. This product passed all my tests and is high quality wire.

The wire was used in a car repair project. The 16 gauge wire was used to power a maximum 10 Amp load at ~5 ft. It didnt burn up or melt, so far.

Very easy to bend in all directions that I needed to go in. Two thumbs up.

Difficult to strip insulation, like it should be.

I really like silicone wire for hardwiring car accessories and for temporary port attachments. This stuff seemed on the par with the other wire Ive used. Cut well, stripped well, crimped well, soldered well, its fine wire. The 25ft segment gives you enough to play with, without being excessive for a common consumer. Also great for making pigtail applications for DC power adapters.
