What Is Silicone Wire? Performance, Benefits, and Uses, With Examples

When it comes to wires, there are enormous varieties and choices. Especially with technological developments and other related innovations, choosing a wire can be confusing. However, when there’s a discussion about wires, Silicone wires are always one that appears.

What Is Silicone Wire? Silicone wire is a wire where silicone (a type of rubber) is used as the insulator around the wire. Silicone wire is well known for its flexibility and heat resistance and is highly recommended within extreme temperature environments. These wires usually have a temperature resistance up to + 250°C.

Many people are unaware of how silicone wire can perform better than other types of wires in some circumstances. Especially with the relatively expensive cost, silicone wire has less buying frequencies among many other wires for general purposes. However, there are many performance abilities and benefits that come with this wire. Let’s take a look.

How Silicone Wire Performs

As we mentioned, silicone wire is insulated with silicone, which is a type of rubber. This rubber element makes the wire more flexible around rough and tough environments. This flexibility supported by the rubber property also enables the silicone wire to keep its shape/structure when influenced by high temperature or any other rough environmental conditions.

Also as mentioned, the silicon insulation has a higher melting point than many others. This gives the wire the ability to get much hotter than melting the insulator or catching on fire. This performance of better temperature handling is safe and reliable, especially to avoid dangerous explosions.

In fact, silicone wire is an ideal choice for using in high-temperature environments ranging from 103°F to 482°F.

However, to get the maximum performance related to high-temperature resistance and flexibility, you’ll have to choose the right wire. Usually, a thinner silicone wire has more heat resistance and flexibility compared to thicker ones. Thinner wires mean less-weight and so the flexible performance of the wire is high.

The only way a silicone wire can result in a disastrous output is if you choose the wrong wire, which can be too thin. When the wire is too thin, the PVC insulator melts quickly and the bare copper wires short, causing the battery to explode. Therefore make sure to use a thin wire but not too thin or thick.

Also to mention here, one downside of this wire is obviously the price which can be expensive, plus then its ability to attract static. Attracting static makes the wire have a tendency to attract dirt outside the cable. This makes silicone wires get dirtier more easily when compared to other wires.

Now that we know how silicone wire performs and the possible downsides it has, let’s get into the benefits of using this wire. It’s important to understand the benefits to the investment in this wire and how they’re worth the higher price tag.

Silicone Wire Benefits

The following are a few common benefits of silicone wire, this is not all the benefits but they are the main ones.

The are many different types of thermocouples that are available to suit different measuring applications such as industrial, scientific, food temperature, medical research, etc. It is, in fact, the different types of thermocouple wires that enable thermocouples to suit different applications.

So to understand this better the thermocouple wire types are listed below with the positive electrode first, followed by the negative electrode.

Flexibility

As emphasized above, the flexible performance of silicone wire is one of the obvious advantages. The wire is a combination of silicone rubber, ultra-fine wire stranding of copper, along with copper alloy. This combination makes the most flexible wire construction, it can be as limp as a piece of string so it’s very pliable in the right circumstances.

The flexibility gives the benefit of routing these wires into tight spaces such as boxes, builds, and other mechanical equipment. The flexibility also provides the ability to withstand different weather conditions, due to its flexibility.
