Wire guage?

Post by kahless78 »

I am going to be lighting a revell 1/600 enterprise. My power source is going to be 9 volts. What size wire would you guys use? I need to to be small. Would 30 gauge work?

Without knowing what components and their circuit configuration, it would be difficult to say. For most low current applications you should be fine,..

30 AWG wire wrap. Best deal that I could find. It took 2 weeks to get to me in Canada.
