BS4520 Grade 2 enamelled copper wire, 0.8mm, 21 SWG, self-fluxing. Ideal for prototype coil winding. 520g spool.
The Multicomp Pro Enamelled Copper Wire is a high-quality, polyurethane-coated self-fluxing wire designed specifically for creating coils in prototypes and small-scale electrical applications. This specialised wire features a transparent polyurethane (PU) jacket that provides excellent insulation while allowing for easy visual inspection of the conductor. Its self-fluxing property simplifies the soldering process, eliminating the need for separate flux application and ensuring strong, reliable connections when winding coils.
Conforming to the rigorous BS4520 Grade 2 (BS6811 Section 1, Pt.3) standard, this wire guarantees consistent performance and reliability for professional and hobbyist use. It is engineered to withstand a maximum continuous operating temperature of +120°C, making it suitable for a wide range of low to medium-temperature applications. For effective soldering, a temperature range of 400°C to 480°C is required. It is crucial to employ proper fume extraction during soldering to maintain safe working conditions and ensure operator safety.
With a substantial 520-gram spool, this product offers ample material for extensive prototyping work. The wire features a 0.8mm diameter (21 SWG) and a conductor cross-sectional area (CSA) of 0.52mm², providing an optimal balance between current-carrying capacity and flexibility for intricate coil winding. The compact spool dimensions ensure easy storage and handling in any workshop or lab environment.
Ideal for electronics engineers, hobbyists, and students, this enamelled copper wire is a fundamental component for building transformers, inductors, motors, and solenoids in prototype stages. Its quality construction and adherence to British Standards make it a trusted choice for projects where electrical performance and durability are paramount.
