Title: Good source for 22 AWG wire?
Post by: dezmond on November 05, 2015, 02:12:20 pm

Hey Everyone.

I am trying to find a decent source for wire so I can have it here when I start my build(s).  I think most of you are using 22 AWG correct?

I do live in Ontario Canada so would be nice to buy it in Canada for shipping etc.

Let me know

I have been to Sayal in Cambridge, Ontario and it was great for connectors and other odds and ends. I will have to check out their wire selection next time I am in there.

Thanks Mike.  Sounds great to me :)  I will have to go check them out...  Princess Auto doesn't have anything that small.  18awg is the smallest they go to...

on my hunt for the best price for 22awg wire I've checked everywhere from retail stores to online and so far sayal has been the best another option if your in the area is the playdium store you can buy buy the foot and get just about any color you want it's 10 cents a foot

Another option that many use is to just buy a cheap JAMMA connector and take the wiring off of it to use - figure that way the one end of each wire already has the quick disconnect attached and you already have the ground loop made - saving a bit of time crimping the QD's on.
