Just what I needed

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.

Purchased this wire for my power bank project w/ high amp. Works great as described.

Used this wire to make some upgrades and modifications to my 3D printer by replacing the inferior factory installed wire. I happily recommend this.

Loved the flexibility of the silicone jacket, and certainly the 8 AWG wire has plenty of current capacity (use was a 12V electric winch on a horse trailer). If I had a choice, however, I would have preferred the inner core of solder be made of 20-30 smaller wires rather than 150-180 smaller wires. In the end it probably does not make a difference but I find the larger diameter wires easier for crimping and soldering.

Limits the drop in voltage for a fuse block to be installed under my front cowl on my gen 2 KLR. Additional protection with split black plastic cover, still super flexible.

Received exactly 5’ of each wire (red/black). The wire size was as described. Very soft and flexible. Easy to work with. Used this wire for wiring batteries for my trolling motor and it worked out great.

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.

Appears to be a good quality wire. I got the 16 gauge, its really flexible. Well worth the money, better than what I would get at a auto supply store

Difficult to strip insulation, like it should be.
