The Belden Hook-Up Wire Stranded Plated Copper assortment delivers nine distinct wire gauges in tinned and plated copper construction, engineered for internal wiring harnesses, circuit connections, and general electrical assembly. Each size features stranded conductors with tin plating that enhances conductivity and corrosion resistance across diverse environmental conditions. The bundle spans AWG 22 through AWG 6, accommodating applications from precision signal routing to higher-amperage power distribution.
