Frequently Asked Questions – Amass 20 AWG
The Amass 20 AWG wire is a thicker silicone cable for power connections in FPV, RC, LED and general electronics.
It’s perfect for powering motors, ESCs and medium-current devices.
The 20 AWG wire safely carries about 8 A continuous and up to 20 A peak current.
Over short runs, it can handle 10–12 A without significant voltage drop.
Yes, 20 AWG is commonly used in 2–3 inch FPV drones for powering flight controllers and ESCs.
It provides low resistance and excellent flexibility for compact builds.
Use a 2–3 mm soldering tip at 380–420 °C.
Apply a bit of flux to ensure smooth solder flow. The silicone insulation resists heat and doesn’t shrink or burn.
20 AWG has a cross-section of about 0.52 mm², while 18 AWG is roughly 0.82 mm².
18 AWG can carry more current, but 20 AWG is lighter and easier to route in tight FPV builds.
