This Haerkn 14-gauge, 2-conductor parallel silicone wire is ideal for hobbyists and professionals needing flexible, high-temperature-resistant wiring for various electrical projects. Its key benefit is the high strand count for excellent conductivity and flexibility, though users should note it's designed for specific voltage and current ratings. The wire features separate black and red conductors for easy polarity identification, comes in 25ft lengths, and is built with a high-purity tinned copper conductor.

This specific product variation includes 25 feet of wire, with 25 feet each of black and red conductor.
The wire is rated to bear a continuous current of up to 20 Amperes (20A).
The wire is designed for use in a wide temperature range, from -60 degrees Celsius to +200 degrees Celsius.
Yes, the silicone insulation offers good resistance to environmental factors, but ensure connections are protected from direct water ingress and extreme temperatures outside its rated range.
This wire is rated for 600V, making it suitable for many low-voltage and medium-voltage applications. However, always consult local electrical codes and ensure compatibility for specific household wiring projects.
The two conductors are jacketed together in a parallel configuration. You can gently pull them apart to separate them for individual connections, being careful not to damage the insulation.
The conductor is made of high-purity oxygen-free tinned copper.
Check that both ends are properly stripped and connected to the terminal or device. Ensure the connection is secure and that the wire is within its voltage and current ratings. Verify the continuity of the wire using a multimeter.
Confirm that the current draw does not exceed the wire's 20A rating. Check for loose connections, which can cause increased resistance and heat. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the wire's operational range.
Inspect the wire for signs of physical damage or exposure to temperatures outside the -60°C to +200°C range. If damage is found, replace the affected section of wire.
Ensure you are using appropriate connectors or soldering techniques for 14 AWG silicone wire. The high strand count may require specific crimping or soldering methods for optimal contact.
Setup: To use this wire, strip the silicone insulation from the ends to expose the tinned copper conductors. Use appropriate crimp terminals, wire nuts, or solder connections suitable for 14 AWG wire. Ensure connections are secure and insulated properly for safety. The parallel construction allows for easy separation of the two conductors if needed.
Compatibility: This wire is compatible with standard electrical connectors, terminals, and tools designed for 14 AWG wire. It is suitable for use with DC and low-frequency AC circuits within its rated voltage and current limits. It is commonly used in hobby electronics, automotive wiring, lighting projects, and small appliance repairs.
Care: Keep the wire away from sharp objects that could cut the insulation. While heat-resistant, avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding its 200°C limit. Clean the exterior insulation with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents. Ensure connections remain clean and free from corrosion, especially in outdoor or high-humidity environments.
