Copper Bare Wire 1.60 dia
Product Code : JA-EE-7604
Copper Bare Wire 1.60 dia (SKU JA-EE-7604) is 1.6 mm uninsulated copper wire supplied at 500 g per reel, one of the two heaviest sizes in the copper bare wire range. Laboratories use wire of this gauge where a conductor has to be rigid and carry a larger current, such as the rails and rolling rod of motor-effect experiments, heavy links between terminals and self-supporting frames. JaincoLab supplies this 1.60 mm bare copper wire to schools and colleges.
Specifications
The 1.60 dia size is bare copper wire with a 1.6 mm diameter, supplied at 500 g per reel rather than the 250 g reels used for the finer sizes; only the 2.00 mm wire is heavier in the same range.

Uses of 1.60 mm bare copper wire
The 1.60 mm wire is chosen for rigid, low-resistance conductors: parallel rails on which a rod rolls in the motor-effect (catapult) experiment, straight conductors for the force on a conductor in a magnetic field, heavy links between terminals and frames that support other parts.
- Rails and rods for the motor-effect (catapult) experiment
- Straight conductors for the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field
- Heavy links between terminals and power supply connections
- Self-supporting frames on demonstration apparatus
Scope of supply and ordering
Supplied as 1.6 mm bare copper wire in 500 g reels. Magnets, power supplies and other parts for the experiments are separate items, as are the finer copper sizes. Accessories, spares and quantities are confirmed on the quotation.
Minimum order quantity, lead time and packing are confirmed on each quotation according to the number of reels and the delivery destination. JaincoLab supplies heavy-gauge wire for single laboratories and in bulk for colleges, education projects and tenders, with export to Africa, the Middle East and South and South-East Asia.
Frequently asked questions
What diameter and reel weight does this wire have?
It is 1.6 mm in diameter and is supplied at 500 g per reel.
Why use 1.60 mm wire instead of a finer size?
A thicker wire is more rigid and has a lower resistance per metre, which suits rails, straight conductors and heavy links.
Which other heavy size is available?
Copper Bare Wire 2.00 dia, 2 mm in diameter, is also supplied at 500 g per reel.
