Silicone Stranded Wire

Silicone stranded wire is an electrical conductor made by twisting multiple strands of copper wire together and then encasing the assembly in silicone rubber insulation. It nicely combines flexibility, conductivity, and resistance to extreme environments to serve innumerable types of applications.

Stranded wire offers several advantages over solid core wire:

  1. Flexibility: Stranded wire is more flexible, allowing easier bending and routing.
  2. Vibration resistance: Stranded wire is less liable to break due to vibration.
  3. Reduced skin effect: Stranded wire lessens skin effect at high frequencies, improving signal transmission.
Yes, silicone stranded wires are definitely more expensive than standard PVC or rubber-insulated wires. However, the increased costs are often justified by service-level advantages, as the material does last longer, especially in demanding applications.
Varies according to the quality of wire, operating environment, and amount of use; proper care provides silicone stranded cable with lifelong capabilities.
Of course, a silicone extension cable can be applied in food processing places since silicone has features of harmlessness and resistance to chemicals and high heat, making it ideal for conditions where cleanliness and resistance to high temperature and moisture are vital. On the other hand, it is crucial to make sure the cord fits any industrial needs for food safety.
In terms of home wiring, silicone stranded wire is okay to use, although it is probably overkill for standard residential applications and can safely be replaced by PVC-insulated wire for most actual house wiring needs.

Yes, many silicone stranded wires can be recycled. The simple recycling process involves separating the silicone from its copper conductor. There may be differences in local recycling facilities for other types of wire.

The connectors used will depend on the application. Silicone stranded wire is commonly connected to Anderson connectors, Deutsch connectors, and bullet connectors. One must consider the wire size, current rating, and environment wherein the connection will be made.
