Hook Up & Equipment Wires

Hook Up & Equipment Wires are a family of products comprising conductors which maybe either bare, tin-plated, silver-plated, or nickel-plated copper. Insulations range from simple PVC to high-temperature fluoropolymers, silicone rubber or low smoke zero halogen materials.

Hook-up Wire

Hook-up wire is a general-purpose wire used in low voltage and low current applications, such as connecting components on a circuit board. It is typically smaller in gauge size and has thinner insulation compared to equipment wire, which makes it easier to handle and manipulate.

Equipment Wire

Equipment wire, on the other hand, is used for higher voltage and current applications, such as connecting power supplies and motors. It is typically larger in gauge size and has thicker insulation to protect against damage from abrasion, heat, and other environmental factors.

Both Hook Up & Equipment Wires come in a variety of colors to aid in the identification and labeling of wires in complex circuits. It is important to choose the appropriate wire for the specific application to ensure the safety and proper function of the equipment.
