Product Details
RS Pro Tinned Copper Wire
From RS Pro, a range of tinned copper wire supplied handy plastic spools. The annealed single strand copper wire benefits from a thin tin plating making the copper wires robust and resilient to moisture. Tinned copper wire is particularly useful where excellent electrical conductivity and thermal resistance is required, suitable for use as rewirable fuse links and shorting links. The RS Pro range of copper wire is available in various diameters and AWG sizes. All models are highly reliable and excellent quality.
Features and Benefits
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Easy to solder
• Longer life than non-tinned copper wire
• Resistant to humidity and damp conditions
• Range of AWG (American Wire Gauge) sizes
Applications
