#38 Magnet Wire

This magnet wire is ideally suited for devices that draw less than 35ma current. Manufactured by Superior Essex, Inc., this wire's small size (about .0045" diameter including insulation) allows it to be easily hidden or used as "prototypical electrical cable in actual wiring situations (see photos). The Soderon® insulation is quite durable and can be painted for further concealment or required effects. It is easily stripped as part of the wire tinning process. For easy use, we package it on a 2-layer bobbin.

  Super-flexible Wire
Designed specifically for applications that require repeated flexing such as voice coils, linear actuators, and robotics, this wire is extremely supple due to it's high quantity of small strands and super "limp" insulation. At 0.032" nominal overall diameter, the #29 wire is only 0.001" larger than typical decoder wire, but instead of the normal 9 strands, it contains 51 strands of #46 (0.0015") copper wire. It will carry 600ma of current so it is ideally suited for most motor power wiring in Z-Scale, N-Scale and HO. If more power is needed in larger scales, just run additional wires in parallel. Perfect for steam locomotives which usually place decoders in the tender (no more derails). The #32 wire is extremely small for insulated wire with an overall nominal diameter of 0.023". It contains 18 strands of #44 copper wire and will carry 250ma of current. This wire is ideally suited for lighting applications that require flexing of the power connections (truck pickups on rolling stock, crossing gates, bridge lifts, etc. It is also well suited for some lower-current Z-Scale motors. The possibilities are endless.
