Silicone Insulated Wires

In this section, you'll find high-quality wires with soft, flexible silicone insulation – indispensable in RC modeling, FPV, electronics, and many other applications requiring reliable and easy-to-work-with connections. We offer a very wide range of wire gauges in the AWG (American Wire Gauge) standard, from heavy-duty 4AWG down to fine 30AWG.

Our wires feature:

• Silicone Insulation: Provides exceptional flexibility and pliability even at low temperatures, and high temperature resistance – it doesn't melt or shrink easily during soldering, unlike standard PVC insulation.
• Multi-Stranded Construction: The core consists of many thin copper strands, ensuring high flexibility and resistance to breaking under repeated bending. Ideal for routing in tight spaces.
• Tinned Copper: Using copper coated with a layer of tin ensures excellent electrical conductivity, protects against oxidation, and significantly makes soldering easier.

Wires are available in various colors (most often red and black for power, other colors for signals), which helps identify connections.

Choosing the correct wire gauge (AWG) is crucial for the safety and efficiency of the electrical system. The AWG standard works inversely – the lower the AWG number, the thicker the wire and the higher its current carrying capacity.

Here are general guidelines for selecting AWG in modeling and FPV applications:

• 4AWG - 10AWG: Very high currents (above 60-100A). Main power leads in large RC models, high-power systems.
• 12AWG - 16AWG: High currents (approx. 30-60A). Typical wires for LiPo batteries and ESCs in 5-inch and larger drones (often terminated with XT60).
• 18AWG - 22AWG: Medium currents (approx. 10-30A). Power in smaller drones (e.g., with XT30), motor wires, accessory power.
• 24AWG - 28AWG: Low currents and signals (below 1-3A). Connections for RC receivers, FPV cameras, VTXs, servos, LED lighting.
• 30AWG: Very low currents and delicate signal connections.

Remember: Using wire that is too thin for the current is dangerous! It can lead to overheating insulation, voltage drops, and in extreme cases, even fire. It's always better to choose a slightly larger wire gauge (lower AWG) than to risk using one that's too thin. Wire length also affects voltage drop.

Looking for a specific AWG size of silicone wire that you don't see right away? Need a larger quantity in a particular color for your project? Or maybe you're unsure which AWG size is appropriate for powering your new motors?

Contact the Avifly team! We'll gladly check availability and help you choose the right wire gauge for your needs. With a wide range from 4AWG to 30AWG, we're sure to find something for you.

Our high-quality silicone wires are sold by the meter (or other configurations), and all orders are processed promptly from our warehouse in Poland. Ensure professional and safe wiring in your projects!
