Remington Single Conductor Hook-Up Wire
Remington offers high-quality hook-up wire, featuring a single insulated conductor (solid or stranded) designed for low current, low voltage applications. These wires are ideal for internal connections in machines, control cabinets, and other electrical uses.
Key Features:
- Lightweight and flexible, especially with stranded conductors, making installation easy in tight or long-distance applications.
- Available in various insulation types to suit both electrical and mechanical requirements.
Hook-Up Wire Overview
Commonly used in motors, power circuits, and small appliances, hook-up wire consists of a single conductor insulated with plastic or rubber. You’ll find these wires in switchboards, panels, and a wide range of electronic equipment, from household to industrial applications.
Choosing the right hook-up wire can be complex due to the variety of options. Remington provides helpful resources like a Hook-Up Wire Data Chart and Ampacity Charts to simplify the process. Key factors to consider include application type (electronics, construction, marine, automotive), diameter, voltage, temperature, conductor material, and insulation rating.
Wire Construction
Remington hook-up wires consist of a single copper conductor, either stranded or solid core, with PVC insulation. We offer many UL styles, including AWM, TFFN, PTFE, and TFN.
What is Hook-Up Wire?
Hook-up wire is a single insulated copper wire, either solid (a single strand) or stranded (multiple thinner strands). It is used primarily in low-voltage, low-current applications such as electronics, control panels, automotive, marine, and household appliances. Some hook-up wires meet UL and MIL-spec standards, ensuring reliability for specific use cases.
Since conductor material, insulation, and voltage ratings vary, it’s important to choose the right wire for your project.

Tinned Copper Hook-Up Wire
Tinned copper hook-up wire features a tin coating to improve soldering and connections. While this slightly impacts conductivity, the effect on performance is minimal.
Benefits of Hook-Up Wire:
- Excellent electrical conductivity from copper.
- Superior thermal conductivity compared to most metals (second only to silver).
- High corrosion resistance, reducing replacement costs.
- Malleability for easy shaping, crucial in electrical settings.
- Durable PVC insulation protects against abrasion, chemicals, and wear.
Why Choose Insulated Wire?
Hook-up wire, also called insulated wire, is versatile for various applications. The copper conductor is highly conductive, while the PVC coating provides protection from damage and weather.
Lead Wire and Appliance Wire
Lead wire connects electrical components and often refers to hook-up wire, which typically features a copper core with protective insulation. Appliance wire is another name for hook-up wire, commonly found in household appliances like ovens and refrigerators.
Single-Core and Multi-Conductor Wire
Hook-up wire is an example of single-core insulated cable, featuring a single copper conductor with PVC insulation. Some wires in this category, such as guitar pickup wire or communication cable, come with multiple conductors for specific applications.
