Used this 26AWG silicone wire for making circuit board jumpers with JST XH plug ends. Perfect size for the crimped pins, and very flexible, so there's no stress on the XH sockets.The dispenser box is a nice idea, but doesn't seem to work very well with this guage/flexibility of wire - it ends up getting all tangled up with the other reels or around the spindle. But overall, I'm happy with the wire and the price.

This wire is prefect for making low voltage connections on PCBs. Some folks may see the extreme flexibility as a downside, but for me it's a HUGE advantage when doing rework where I sometimes have to route the wire around or through obstacles. Strips well with a tool or even just a razor blade. The heat resistance is excellent, and the tin plating makes it wick solder like a dream. The quantity per roll is pretty generous for the price and the dispenser box makes it easy to keep your wire tangle free and organized. (I use a rubber band around the box to hold the ends in place so they don't back-roll) Out of all the components/soldering supplies I've bought from Amazon, this is the one I'm the happiest with by far.

I got this wire because the 40 year old solid core 30ga wire-wrap wire I had on hand was not suitable to use for hacking my Kindle. It. broke. too. easily. Plus, the only color I had was yellow. tl;dr: I am not disappointed once I made a few adjustments.I have stripped a couple of these wires using my 40 year old wire-wrap wire stripper. The last image will hopefully show that, yes indeed, this is 30gs stranded wire. I suspect they drew the wire through a mosquito's mouth. I could not find anything online today that even vaguely resembles my stripper. I did not look only on Amazon. I looked online. In spite of having gazillions of products, Amazon doesn't have everything. My one-stop shopping experience has been irrevocably ruined! Gee, thanks Amazon.You can see the stripper I use in the last picture I've posted with this review. 40 years ago it was the most expensive tool I owned.I do, though I've not tested it, have a wire-wrap tool very similar to this with which I have successfully stripped 30ga solid core wire in the past. OK, the way way past.Pros:- The wire is stranded and very flexible. It almost couldn't be more flexible if it was thread. Pleased and impressed by this.- It came in a decently designed, functional, and sturdy box. For storage and dispensing I cannot stress how helpful this is and will be.- The box has a cross dowel that keeps the reels of wire off the bottom of the box allowing for easier dispensing without binding.- There are holes for the wire to come out. You don't have to take the reel out of the box.Cons:- The picture lies! The holes for the wires to come out are not in the bottom third of the box. They're in the top third. Facts are important!bought. eople! 9-)- While the box the reels of wire came in is designed to use to dispense the wire, there is nothing to provide tension during the dispensing of the wire. Obviously too much tension will stretch or break the wire which would not be helpful. A thin bit of foam rubber on the underside of the lis which closes down on the reels might do the trick. Alas, I'm stuck trying a different approach.To fix the tension issue, to help keep the wires from becoming too loose on their respective reels, and to help chaperone the wires to stay one only their own reels I did two things.First, I glued a strip of , hook-side to the box. A second strip, just a tad longer, covers hooks to the glued strip thereby holding the wires flush to the box.Second, I cut the corner off a bit of cardboard and placed it between the back of the box and the wire reels. A picture is provided to help those, like me, who have impaired imaginations. Note, the bend of the corner is in the middle. My hope is that this cardboard insert will suffice in providing enough tension; however, of course, not too much tension.

These are high quality silicon insulated wires. Description mentioned max temperature only 150C but it is actually 200C stamped on the wires. It is important because during soldering they don't burn like cheaper PVC insulation. These wires are the best for the soldering prototyping board - flexible, low impedance and not burned insulation. Deal is good too. Don;t confuse this set with cheaper one which has PVC insulation. It is important because during soldering they don't burn like cheaper PVC insulation.I attached here images of how I setup this wire box. The goal is to prevent entanglement between spools wires while you use them. If not doing it right it is even hard to place spools in box because wires get entangled .1. before putting spools in the box place sticky tape on the top of each spool to prevent entanglement while setting up (picture 1)2. after putting spools in the box, drive wires through the respective holes according to the color, then prepare a folded piece of carton to place on the top of the spools3. now you can remove tapes from spools, place folded carton on the top to keep spools pressed and wires kept in the spools and fully close the box (picture 2)4. tape the flap of the box as shown on my pictures and end of the wires are waiting to be pulled. That's it. Now, if you did it right, the wires will not entangle , pulling will be smooth, work is easy. (picture 3)Enjoy
