8 AWG Ultra Flexible Silicone Wire

8 AWG silicone wire provides extreme flexibility and high current capacity through its ultra-fine stranded tinned copper core and robust silicone rubber insulation, making it perfect for battery packs, inverters, RC vehicles, and heavy-duty electronics.

Key features

Ultra-flexible design: High-strand count tinned copper (typically 680/0.08 or 1650/0.08 strands) ensures superior bendability and fatigue resistance in tight spaces.
Premium tinned copper conductor resists corrosion while delivering low resistance for efficient power transfer.
Silicone rubber insulation offers excellent heat resistance, oil resistance, and flame retardancy for demanding conditions.

Construction details

Conductor: Tinned copper with fine stranding (e.g., 680 × 0.08 mm or similar), approximately 8.37 mm² cross-section for robust performance.
Insulation: Thick silicone rubber layer, overall diameter around 6.5-10 mm depending on build, compatible with high-power terminals.

Electrical performance

Rated for 600V AC/DC, with current handling up to 190A and temperature range of -60°C to +200°C for extreme environments.
Low conductor resistance supports high-current applications like EV conversions and large battery leads without excessive voltage drop.

Typical applications

High-draw setups including RC cars/drones, battery connections, motor leads, and power inverters.
Automotive wiring, welding equipment, and industrial robotics needing durable, heat-tolerant cabling.
Custom harnesses for solar panels, generators, and heavy electronics projects.
