Insulated copper wire GOOBAY RB55047 — 10 m, 0.14 mm² core, 1.1 mm diameter, grey

GOOBAY RB55047 insulated copper wire is a 10 m length of flexible stranded conductor designed for low-voltage wiring and general internal connections. The wire has a copper core cross-section of 0.14 mm² (AWG 26) composed of 18 strands of 0.1 mm each and an overall diameter of 1.1 mm. Grey PVC insulation provides basic mechanical and electrical protection and makes the wire suitable for electronics prototyping, signal connections and small appliance wiring.

Advantages

The stranded copper construction gives good flexibility compared with solid wire of the same cross-section, simplifying routing and bending in confined spaces. The PVC insulation offers reliable basic protection against abrasion and short-term mechanical stress while maintaining consistent dimensions for connector fit. Compatibility with common termination methods — wire end ferrules, spring and screw terminals — makes this wire practical for repair, assembly and prototyping work. The wire is specified for a range of temperatures and exhibits stable behaviour in hobby and low-voltage electrical applications.

Suitable for

• Low-voltage internal wiring of devices and control units
• Electronics prototyping and breadboard/soldered connections
• Signal and sensor wiring in appliances and instruments
• Model making and model railway electrical connections
• Repairs and replacements where a flexible AWG 26 conductor is required

Key specifications

• Length: 10 m
• Conductor material: copper (stranded)
• Conductor construction: 18 × 0.1 mm strands

How to use

Cut the required length of GOOBAY insulated copper wire using appropriate wire cutters. Strip the insulation carefully with a wire stripper to expose the conductor strands without nicking them. For mechanically secure and reliable terminations, twist the strands and fit a wire end ferrule before inserting into screw or spring terminals, or solder to pads for permanent connections. Route the wire away from sharp edges and moving parts, and secure it with cable ties or adhesive mounts where necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use this wire for low-voltage applications and indoor installations only. Verify that the conductor cross-section and insulation rating are sufficient for the current and environmental conditions of your project. Avoid exposure to solvents or prolonged outdoor use that could degrade the PVC insulation. When in doubt about current-carrying capacity or safety requirements, consult applicable wiring standards or a qualified technician.
