Re: Magnet Wire



Original poster: Terry Fritz <teslalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Zan,

I always just used any magnet wire I could get my hands on. The wire you describe sounds really nice! Any thin magnet wire will be just fine.

I tend to just find mine on E-bay. Just search for magnet wire. They even have #24 silk covered these days!! But any "modern" (not silk) industrial magnet wire will work fine.

I tend to pay about $7 per pound new and around 1/2 that from E-bay, but the prices vary a lot...

Cheers,

        Terry

Hi everyone,

The magnet wire that I am thinking about buying is dual film insulated with polyurethane and a polyimide (nylon) overcoat. It is 24 AWG and is going to be used for a 4.5 X 24 coil on PVC. Is this the right thing to be buying? If not could someone please show me where to find the right stuff to build my coil?

                Thanks,
                Zan
