A 7.6 m (25 ft) spool of red 26 AWG stranded-core wire with a silicone rubber sheath. Silicone insulation stays soft and flexible across a wide temperature range (up to 200 °C) and is rated for up to 600 V — far more resilient than standard PVC-covered wire in high-temperature or high-flex applications.
The stranded core and supple silicone jacket make this wire ideal for wearables, robotics, and any project where the wiring needs to bend repeatedly without fatigue.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- AWG
- American Wire Gauge is a numbering system for wire thickness, where a lower number means a thicker wire. The AWG rating matters because thicker wire can usually carry more current with less voltage drop and heating.
- e-textiles
- Electronic textiles are fabrics or clothing that include electrical parts such as conductive thread, sensors, LEDs, or small controllers. This matters because parts for e-textiles need to survive bending, sewing, and sometimes washing.
- Tolerance
- Tolerance tells you how far the real resistance value may be from the printed value. A 1% resistor is useful when a circuit needs more predictable behaviour than a looser 5% or 10% part.
