Nichrome Bare Wire 26 Swg
Product Code : JA-EE-7628
Nichrome Bare Wire 26 Swg (SKU JA-EE-7628) is fine bare nichrome (nickel-chromium) wire, 0.45 mm in diameter, nearest 26 SWG, supplied at 125 g. The finer gauge gives a higher resistance per metre than the 18 to 24 SWG sizes, so a short length warms and glows on a low-voltage supply, which makes it well suited to glowing-wire demonstrations and small heating coils. JaincoLab supplies this 26 SWG nichrome wire to school and college physics laboratories.
Specifications
Nichrome Bare Wire 26 Swg is listed as bare nichrome wire with a diameter of 0.45 mm (26 nearest SWG), supplied at 125 g; it sits between the 24 SWG and 28 SWG nichrome gauges in the range.

Glowing-wire and heating experiments with 26 SWG nichrome
In school physics the 26 SWG nichrome wire is used to show that a current heats a conductor: a short length connected to a low-voltage supply warms and then glows as the current is raised, and small coils of it make heaters for simple thermal experiments and resistance comparisons.
- Glowing-wire demonstrations of the heating effect of current
- Small heating coils for simple thermal experiments
- Comparing the resistance of nichrome with eureka and copper
- Resistance of a wire against its length
Scope of supply and ordering

Frequently asked questions
What diameter is Nichrome Bare Wire 26 Swg?
It is 0.45 mm in diameter, the nearest size to 26 SWG, supplied at 125 g.
Why use a fine nichrome gauge for heating demonstrations?
A finer wire has more resistance per metre, so a short length heats up and glows at a lower current.
Is the wire insulated?
No. It is bare nichrome wire; coils must be wound with the turns kept apart.
