Does 20 AWG Kynar wire exist?

**FoXTAiL** · 03-02-2007,04:48 PM

I hear others talking about 20 or 22 AWG Kynar wires for ground points.

But I was searching all over the internet for these wires but they don't have them in 20-22 AWG. Where do you guys get them?

Why Kynar? Any copper wire of 20-24 gauge (AWG=american wire gauge) will work fine, just make sure it has decent insulation. If you have the wires short (<5cm) you may be able to get away with using 30 gauge wires either on their own or in a twisted pair.

No there isn't Kynar 20-22 gauge. That would be too thick. Any style 22 gauge wire will work. Even speaker wire. Just put some flux on there and solder will love it.

Kynar is just the type of insulation used on wire used to wire wrap. You don't even need that type of wire for the lines, it's just cheap, readily available and the insulation is pretty good for not shrinking back when soldered. Any kind of wire is fine as long as it's thick enough, just go to Radio Shack and but a little spool of 22 gauge hookup wire.
