This 1,000-foot spool of red 24 AWG solid hook-up wire has a tinned copper conductor and red PVC insulation rated at 300 volts, a bulk spool for schools, production work, harness building and installers. Solid wire holds its shape and plugs straight into solderless breadboards, so it's ideal for prototyping, point-to-point wiring and neat runs inside enclosures. Red is the usual choice for positive (+) DC power connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose solid or stranded wire?
Use solid wire for breadboards and fixed wiring, since it holds its shape. Use stranded wire for connections that flex, move or vibrate.
What is UL 1007/1569 wire used for?
It's general-purpose internal wiring for meters, panels and electrical and electronic equipment.
Will this wire fit in a breadboard?
Yes. 24 AWG solid wire fits standard solderless breadboards, and 22 AWG is the most common size.
Will the color match my other spools exactly?
Shades can vary slightly between production runs, so buy all the spools for one project together if an exact match matters.
