Hi. I was just wondering how thick is the 30AWG kynar wire in mm? I wanted to buy it in an elektro shop but im in europe and it doesnt say the thickness in AWG. The thinnest one i saw had a thickness of 0,1mm, is that too thick? Any pictures of the wire INSIDE a psp would be great because i have no idea what thickness i have to look for. THx
-
cant measure it
it is too small,..
i think it is around 0.2 mm
-
I think its 0.25mm. I googled it.
-
i used 1mm thick wire for USB Charge Mod :laughing:
-
which one is the 30AWG?? the orange ones or the red ones?

looks like both are but thickness are different at first when i saw red i thought magnet wire
-
the red is. its not magnet wire.

The Red is 100% definitely magnet wrap
The Orange is 30 gauge kynar wire
How do i know? Because i happen to have seen that image before and done the install that it is guiding towards but you are not allowed to discuss those on acid mods, anyway a spool of magnet wrap is provided with "that thing"
Magnet Wrap doesn't have a gauge system and it comes in different diameters, measured in mm, i use 0.2mm i know *FuFa uses 0.1mm the stuff that comes with "that thing" is 0.2mm etc

timmy your confused
the red has a plastic insulation, making it not magnet wire. magnet wire use for wrapping has an enamel insulation.
magnet (notice the shiny enamel unlike the flat plastic in the other photo)

Trust me man its magnet
Its just the way the photo was taken, they ship it with either a clear or translucent red shiny enamel
-
im telling you its not. its red kynar wire. and the orange wire that is in that photo is not kynar wire
-
are you being sarcastic or toying with me or something lol
-
how did i know there would be an argue about this :laughing:
It is a magnet wire though, chcek this photo

-
that is, but that is a different photo than you provided earlier
-

i doubt they would ship kynar with one and magnet wire with an other one, its just different color, but might be not i am just a noob and ur the modder :yess: but just to be sure, is this the right size of kynar wire i need? http://cgi.ebay.de/Kynar-Wire-30AWG-100m_W0QQitemZ370017145283QQihZ024QQcategoryZ84700QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (http://cgi.ebay.de/Kynar-Wire-30AWG-100m_W0QQitemZ370017145283QQihZ024QQcategoryZ84700QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
-
Yes, that's the right size. Kynar = 30awg (0.25mm)
-
Trust me Tec_ its the angle of the photo, or lighting or whatever
the orange in that photo is actually 24 guage kynar
Because they ONLY provide magnet wrap with that modchip, ONLY provide it, period
It's just the photo's appearance, i could take heaps of photo's like that, that would make magnet look just like that
This isn't a fight, its a light debate at worst, we are both just trying to see what kind of wire it is
-
oh i agree for the second image, but for the first its debatable, the wire is not see through(plastic coating) and look at ware it is striped. magnet wire dose not strip that well.
-
well yeah i admit its debatable but i received two spools of wire by accident with it, i got a red spool and clear, both were definitely magnet wrap
and yeah it doesn't strip well IF you use tools
but you can strip it and tin at the same time with your soldering iron, it burns off the coating and just wipe it off on the sponge or whatever you use for cleaning your tip
-
Mann i just walk up in radioshack and ask for kynar and they gave me something called wrapping wire it works though and its real thin
-
well im going to stamp this one as "unidentifiable given curent information" and leave it as that

good call, had fun thread jacking with you though :w00t:
-
timmy you and me could burn some serous bandwidth arguing over something
-
yar, next topic of importance
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Or to keep it on topic which wire do you think is better?
(PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD dont answer either or we may have another two days of light debating)
-
LMAO :rofl:
on topic
like it was said before
both will work, but magnet wire is more susceptible to shorting out
-

i figured that out the hard way :sadno: Thats why i am moving to kynar now.
