Hookup & Equipment Wire

Hookup and equipment wire is a type of electrical wire designed for connecting electronic components within circuits. It typically features a single, stranded or solid copper conductor, coated with insulation materials like PVC or Teflon. The wire's gauge, or thickness, varies to accommodate different current loads. Its flexibility facilitates easy bending and routing in tight spaces. Hookup wire is crucial for establishing secure and reliable electrical connections in applications such as electronics prototyping, breadboarding, and equipment interconnection. The insulation protects against short circuits and ensures signal integrity. Available in various colors and sizes, it offers versatility in organizing and identifying connections within complex systems.
