ProTechTrader 16 AWG 50ft UL1007 300V 80°C Tinned Copper Wire Cap Connectors

SKU CH-TCTY-Y5PH2

50 ft of 16 AWG tinned copper wire with black PVC insulation, UL1007 rated for 300 V and 80 °C

  • 50 ft of 16 AWG tinned copper for reliable low-resistance connections
  • Tinned coating resists corrosion and makes soldering or crimping easy
  • UL1007 rated for 300 V and 80 °C operating temperature
  • Stranded solid copper core outperforms copper-clad aluminium alternatives
  • Black PVC insulation protects wire in indoor and outdoor primary-power runs

ProTechTrader 16 AWG Hook-Up Wire

This ProTechTrader product is a 50ft spool of 16 AWG stranded solid copper wire intended for electronics hook-up and primary power wiring. The tinned copper core resists corrosion and simplifies soldering or crimping for hobbyists, students and technicians building or repairing circuits. It is supplied new in a loose coiled roll for neat handling.

UL1007 300V 80°C Rating

The single specification that determines suitability is the UL1007 certification rating the insulation for up to 300V and 80°C. This rating confirms the wire meets the safety standard for internal appliance wiring and low-voltage power distribution. Verify that your circuit voltage and operating temperature stay within these certified limits before installation.

Black PVC Insulation Performance

The black PVC insulation provides the dielectric barrier for the certified voltage and temperature range. In normal use the insulation remains flexible for routing and resists cracking at the rated 80°C upper limit. The tinned copper conductor keeps contact resistance low, so heat generated at connections stays minimal during typical low-voltage power delivery.

Questions about this item

What does the 16 AWG rating mean for the current I can safely run through this wire in a real build?

16 AWG indicates the conductor thickness; the actual safe current depends on your circuit length, ambient temperature and the 80 °C insulation limit, so calculate voltage drop for your specific run before deciding the load.

How does the UL1007 300 V rating cap what I can use this wire for in practice?

UL1007 certifies the insulation for up to 300 V and 80 °C; stay within that voltage and temperature envelope and the wire meets the standard for hook-up and primary-power circuits.

What do I need to strip, crimp or solder a 50 ft roll of this tinned 16 AWG wire?

Standard wire strippers for 16 AWG, a crimp tool sized for the terminals you choose, and a soldering iron with flux-cored solder work with the tinned copper and black PVC insulation.
