Chemical-Resistant Wire
- Use for panel and equipment (hook-up)
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -65° to 390° F
- Insulation: PTFE Plastic
Our most chemical-resistant wire—the PTFE insulation protects against most chemicals, solvents, and oil. The PTFE is slippery, so it withstands some abrasion. The wire has a silver-plated finish for corrosion resistance and strength. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. Rated MIL-W-16878/4-Type E, it meets stringent military specifications for material quality. Also known as hook-up wire.

Radiation-Resistant Wire
- Use for panel and equipment (hook-up)
- Stranded Wire: Flexible
Solid Wire: Bend and Stay - Temperature Range: -140° to 500° F
- Insulation: PEEK Plastic
The PEEK insulation on this wire won't degrade when exposed to radiation, and is often used in nuclear energy production. The insulation also resists harsh chemicals and high pressure, so it can also be used in equipment for mining or oil and gas exploration. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance. If it is exposed to flames, it minimizes how much smoke and halogen it releases.
Stranded wire is flexible, so it’s pliable enough to be pulled around corners. Silver-plated wire is stronger and more corrosion resistant than bare wire.

- Wire with FEP Plastic Insulation: Flexible
Wire with Silicone Rubber Insulation: Ultra Flexible - Temperature Range:
Wire with FEP Plastic Insulation: -239° to 390° F
Wire with Silicone Rubber Insulation: -100° to 400° F
Rated to 50 volts AC/DC, this wire is often used in small electronics and robotics. It’s also known as hook-up wire.
Wire with FEP insulation is chemical resistant.
Silver-plated wire is stronger and more corrosion resistant than bare wire.
Wrap Wire
- Use for circuit boards
- Bend and Stay
- Maximum Temperature: 200° F
- Insulation: PVDF Plastic
This wire wraps around a post terminal on a circuit board to make an electrical connection, eliminating the need for soldering. It stays in the shape you bend it for a tight wrap around the post. A silver-plated finish provides corrosion resistance and strength. PVDF wire is also known as Kynar wire.
Use a wrap wire tool (sold separately) to make a tighter connection than wrapping by hand. The tool also unwinds wire from the post.
Wrap a coil tightly around a terminal post for a strong electrical connection. These compact tools won't bump into neighboring terminal posts and disrupt the rest of your circuit board, making them ideal for accessing posts that your hands can’t reach. Thread stripped wire into the tip, insert the tool over a post terminal, and twist to form a coil. Alternate between winding and unwinding by reversing the tip, just as you would a screwdriver bit.

Wrap Wire Assortments
- Use for circuit boards
- Bend and Stay
- Maximum Temperature: 200° F
- Insulation: PVDF Plastic
Keep multiple colors of wrap wire on hand to color code connections in circuit boards for easy identification. This wire winds around a post terminal to make a strong electrical connection—no soldering needed. Lightweight and flexible, it stays in the shape you bend it for a tight hold. A silver plating shields the wire from corrosion as well as wear and tear. This wire has PVDF insulation, which resists breaking down from chemicals and melting up to 200° F. Because it’s insulated with PVDF, it’s commonly known as Kynar wire.
All of these assortments come with a wire stripper to cut and strip your wire. Store and organize the wire with the included dispenser box.
For an even tighter connection than wrapping by hand, use a wrap wire tool (sold separately). Thread the wire into the tip, insert the tool over a post terminal, and twist. Alternate between winding and unwinding by reversing the tip, just as you would a screwdriver bit.
