From RS Pro, a range of tinned copper wire supplied handy plastic spools. The annealed single strand copper wire benefits from a thin tin plating making the copper wires robust and resilient to moisture. Tinned copper wire is particularly useful where excellent electrical conductivity and thermal resistance is required, suitable for use as rewirable fuse links and shorting links. The RS Pro range of copper wire is available in various diameters and AWG sizes. All models are highly reliable and excellent quality.

• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Easy to solder
• Longer life than non-tinned copper wire
• Resistant to humidity and damp conditions
• Range of AWG (American Wire Gauge) sizes

Copper is the second most conductive metal in the world after silver. This makes the material extremely useful for the manufacture of conductive components. Tinned copper has many uses in the electrical wiring industry. Due to the materials efficient performance in humid or rainy climates copper wire is an extremely useful in applications where this is a discerning factor. Some of the most common environments are:

• Fuse links
• Panel wiring
• Industrial machinery cranes and forklift trucks
• Automation
• Telecommunications
• Marine applications

Being one of the top 5 most used metals around the world. It's no secret copper is widely regarding as the go to choice for wire in electronics. Due to the extremely convenient conductive properties, copper can be used as wires for anything, ranging from network cables up to advanced computer and mobile phone circuit boards.

Copper is the second conductive metal in the world after silver; therefore, there are no surprises as to why it has its place in the manufacture of conductive components. Due to the materials efficient performance in humid or rainy climates, copper wire finds appreciation in applications where this is a discerning factor.

We are proudly introducing our own branded RS PRO Tinned Copper Wire 50.9 m long, supplies as handy plastic spools. The item is widely used in power generation, transmission, distribution or telecommunications making the copper must-have wire in your household. The annealed single strand, copper wire benefits from a thin tin plating making the wires robust and resilient to moisture. The 0.71 mm diameter life expectancy of Copper Wire lasts up to 100 years or even more, making this natural material the most important market for the building industry.

The Wire performance for use as a rewireable fuse link and shorting links are clearly showing, how reliable and versatile the material is, even in advanced computer and mobile phone circuit boards.

The usage of the Tinned Copper Wire is almost endless, but the most common environments are:

• Fuse Links


• Panel Wiring


• Industrial machinery cranes and forklift trucks


• Automation


• Telecommunications


• Marine applications


• The commercial and non-commercial building industry

Is Tinned Copper Wire safe metal to use?

As long the Wire has not been damaged in some manner, the Tinned Copper Wire is relatively safe, especially comparing to aluminium, which was popular in the 1960s and 1970s in the households causing a severe hazard.

RS PRO is our family brand to go-to and brings you a wide range for high-quality and high-value products to support your project.
