Frequently Asked Questions – Amass 18 AWG
The Amass 18 AWG wire is designed for medium-to-high current applications.
It’s ideal for powering motors, ESCs, flight controllers and FPV modules in 4–5 inch drones.
The 18 AWG wire safely carries about 10 A continuous and up to 25 A peak current.
Over short runs, it can handle up to 30 A in FPV or bench power systems.
Yes, 18 AWG is commonly used to power brushless motors and ESCs in mid-power drones.
It offers low resistance, excellent flexibility and high heat resistance.
Use a 2–3 mm soldering tip at 380–420 °C with flux and 1 mm solder.
The silicone insulation is heat-resistant and won’t shrink while soldering.
The 18 AWG wire has a cross-section of ≈ 0.82 mm², while 16 AWG is ≈ 1.31 mm².
16 AWG carries more current, but 18 AWG is lighter and more flexible for compact builds.
