What Makes This Cable Special?
This is not just any ordinary wire. It comes from the famous Korean brand SHINHWA. They are known for making high-quality electronic wires. This specific model is a 26AWG multi-strand cable. It has three cores inside. Each core has a cross-section of 0.13mm². The “multi-strand” part is very important. It means the copper wire is made of many tiny threads twisted together. This makes the cable super flexible. You can bend it, twist it, and move it without damaging the copper inside.
The outer jacket is made of PVC. This material is strong and resists oil and chemicals. It also has a flame-retardant rating of VW-1. This means it will not catch fire easily. It is safe to use in home appliances and industrial machines. The wire meets international standards like UL758 and RoHS. You can trust this cable for safety and performance.

Why Choose 26AWG 3-Core for Your Project?
You might ask, “Why 26AWG? Why not thicker or thinner?” Here is the truth. 26AWG is the “Goldilocks” size. It is not too thick to fit in small holes. It is not too thin to break easily.
Perfect for PCB Connectors
If you work with electronics, you know 3.5mm pitch connectors. These are everywhere. They are in PC motherboards, audio gear, and industrial controllers. This wire fits into MC 1.5/..-ST or MCVW series connectors perfectly. You do not need to force it. The 0.13mm² area handles up to 3A of current safely. This is enough for most sensors, LED strips, and control signals.
Super Flexible (No More Broken Wires)
Solid core wire breaks if you vibrate it. This multi-strand cable laughs at vibration. It is ideal for moving parts. Think about a robotic arm, a guitar pedal board, or a laptop hinge. The wires inside move freely. They do not snap. This saves you money on repairs and warranty claims.
Easy to Strip and Solder
The PVC insulation strips cleanly. It does not melt into a mess when you solder it. The tinned copper ends take solder in seconds. You get a shiny, strong joint every time. Even beginners can work with this wire easily.
Where Can You Use This Cable? (Real World Scenarios)
This wire is everywhere. Once you look, you will see it. Here are the top places we sell this cable:
1. Internal Wiring of Household Appliances
Your microwave, washing machine, and coffee maker need wires. They get hot. They get wet. This 0.13mm² cable handles the heat (up to 80°C). The PVC jacket resists the moisture. It is perfect for connecting the control panel to the main board inside your kitchen gadgets.
2. Audio and Video Equipment
High-end audio gear needs shielding from noise. While this specific model is shielded or unshielded depending on batch, the twisted pair structure reduces interference. It is great for connecting potentiometers in guitar amps or internal wiring in mixing consoles. The 3.5mm spacing is standard for audio jacks and internal headers.
3. Industrial Control Cabinets
Factories use thousands of these wires. They connect PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) to sensors. The 3-core setup is common for 24V DC power and signal return. The UL2095 and UL758 standards mean it is safe to run inside a machine cabinet. It resists oil and coolant splashes.
4. DIY and Hobby Electronics
Makers love this wire. It fits perfectly into breadboards and Arduino shields. If you are building a custom mechanical keyboard or a 3D printer, this is the wire you need for the limit switches and stepper motors. The 26AWG is thin enough to route through small cable chains.
5. LED Lighting and Signage
LED strips need flexible wires to bend around corners. Rigid wire creates ugly bulges. This multi-strand cable lays flat. It looks professional. It is rated for 300V, so it is safe for high-voltage LED signage as well as low-voltage 12V strips.
How to Order and Customize
We know one size does not fit all. You might need 100 meters for a production run, or just 5 meters for a prototype. We handle both.
Cut to Length
Don’t want a full reel? We can cut it to your exact length. Need 350mm pieces for a harness? No problem. We use laser cutting for precision.
Stripping Services
Hate stripping wires? We can strip both ends for you. We can also tin the ends with solder. This saves your workers hours of time.
Printing and Labeling
Need your logo on the wire? We offer ink printing or laser printing on the jacket. This helps your brand stand out.
Packaging
We pack in wooden drums for heavy orders (up to 7500km per month capacity). Small orders go in cartons or spools with anti-static wrap.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is this wire compliant with environmental standards?
A: Yes. It is RoHS compliant. It does not contain lead, mercury, or cadmium. It is safe for export to the EU and USA.
Q: Can I use this for data transmission?
A: Yes, but it is primarily for power and low-speed signals (like I2C or UART). For high-speed USB 2.0, you need a twisted pair with specific impedance (like UL2725). However, for internal board-to-board connections, it works great.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard black PVC, we can go as low as 100 meters or even 50 meters for stock items. For custom colors, MOQ is usually 1000 meters.
Q: How does the price compare to Chinese local brands?
A: SHINHWA is a premium brand. It costs a little more than generic wire, but you save money on returns. The quality is consistent. You won’t find “bad batches” with us.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: Stock items ship in 3-5 days. Production orders take 10-15 days depending on quantity. We are fast because we have raw material in stock.
