hi, Am trying to find some wire for connecting joysticks and buttons in Ireland, does anyone know if either of these are the same as 22 AWG hook-up wire? http://www.peats.com/cgi-bin/test_new/catalog.cgi?view_product=1&id=3517 Technical Specifications Size: 16/0.2mm (0.5 square mm). Rating: 3.0A at 1000V RMS maximum. O/D: 1.6mm nominal. Wall cover: PVC 0.3mm to DEF61-12 Type 2. Core: Stranded 16 x 0.2mm tinned copper conductors. http://www.peats.com/cgi-bin/test_new/catalog.cgi?view_product=1&id=3579 Technical Specifications Size: 24/0.2mm (0.75 square mm). Rating: 4.5A at 1000V RMS maximum. O/D: 2.3mm. Wall cover: PVC 0.6mm to DEF61-12 Type 2. Core: Stranded 24 x 0.2mm tinned copper conductors. thanks, Gerard |

Just going by ampacity, the 3.0A one is between 24-26 AWG, and the 4.5A one is between 24-22 AWG. For connecting joys and buttons, both are OK. The smaller wire will work fine, electrically, as long as it is compatible with whatever connectors you are using. |

Try this - http://www.peats.com/cgi-bin/test_new/catalog.cgi?view_product=1&id=3276&sid=11&cid=135&scid=514 you get 8 strands! |

thanks for the help, I think I'll give the 4.5A wire a go, don't fancy hacking away at cat5 :) |
