BNTECHGO 16 AWG Magnet Wire - Enameled Copper Wire - Enameled Magnet Winding Wire - 4 oz - 0.0492" Diameter 1 Spool Coil Red Temperature Rating 155℃ Widely Used for Transformers Inductors

This BNTECHGO 18 AWG magnet wire is excellent quality and worked perfectly for building a balun for my antenna system. The enameled copper wire is consistently gauged throughout with a smooth, even coating. No thin spots or inconsistencies that would cause issues. The enamel insulation is durable and holds up well to winding around cores without flaking or cracking. The wire is flexible enough to work with easily but maintains its shape once wound. Stripping the enamel when making connections is straightforward with a lighter or scraping. The 18 AWG size is perfect for common balun builds—thick enough to handle power but not so heavy that it's difficult to wind tightly. The copper quality is evident in the wire's consistency and the clean solder connections it makes. For the amount of wire you get, the price is very reasonable. Having a good supply on hand means I can experiment with different balun designs without worrying about running out. The spool keeps everything organized and tangle-free. Whether you're building baluns, transformers, inductors, or other RF components, this is quality magnet wire that performs exactly as it should. Highly recommend for any ham radio or electronics projects!

I bought the BNTECHGO 16 AWG Magnet Wire to build a coil for my ham antenna, and it has worked perfectly. BNTECHGO products have always been reliable for me, and this wire is no exception — good quality, easy to work with, and excellent value for the price. Important Note: The wire’s amperage rating depends on the gauge and your winding configuration. Make sure to size your wire appropriately for your current requirements to avoid overheating or damage.

Great wire! I have some old department 56 pieces that I needed to rewire and this worked perfectly!

Fun to work with for projects

If you're reading this, Hah! Good luck rewinding you solenoid or motor winding ! 36ga wire is very thin and fragile indeed and it may well take several tries to get a full wind. I had more than a few snags on the spool resulting in many breaks during winding followed by unwinding and starting over. But, in the end, I got an irreplaceable solenoid re-wound and working. Yay!

Good for rework PCB. The insulator can be melted by soldering iron+flux. No need to stripe it out.

Worked perfectly for rebuilding magnetic coil used with a relay in an antique payphone.

This 4 ounce spool of 28 gauge magnet wire has an enamel insulating coating. It is round on a plastic spool. It is rated for temperatures up to 155 degrees Fahrenheit. The wire diameter thickness is 0.0122 inches. My son requested this to construct some electromagnets.
