Will these work with 18 gauge memory wire?

Hi! Yes, it works with 18 gauge.....I use 22 for most of my projects and am very happy but, have used it for for different gauges.

You should be able to use just about any wire with the same gauge as the ones attached to the sensors, since the current going through is minimal and overheating is not an issue...

They will hold onto 26 ga wire. But you need to have space on either side of the wire to place them around the wire.

There should be no problems I have installed a few of these they could probably take up to 12 gauge wire

No. They are pretty tight i actually plan on reinstalling them with the copper 'u' clamp (i think thats the name). Works fine with standard speaker wires. Not sure of gauge but it is tight and a little difficult to wire them all up.

Personally I would use 18 gauge wire, your load is less than 3 amps. 18 Ga wire is over engineered for the load and it has mechanical strength.

I actually used 16 gauge wire. I think 14 would work; it would depend on whether 14 will fit in the speaker wire recepticles. No problem at all with the 16 gauge.

I used them to connect a 24v system drawing over an ampere. They work fine. I soldered the connections with heat shrink tubing over the splice. Take a look at http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm there is a calculator there that is a handy reference.

I havn't had a chance to try mine yet but I do agree completely with "FlickerKing's" answer. It should work fine. P.S. If you extend the length you maybe should use at least 18 guage stranded wire for better performance.

No anything will work. Just depends on how hard your gonna push them. I would recommend getting a pack of the banana clips that are 20$. Saves alot of time and wear on your fingers. And if your gonna push them as hard as I do your gonna want 12 gauge wire. But no smaller than 16 over 200watts. .

these wires are nowhere near 22 gauge wires. they have 4 strands inside each wire. the outside might be 22ga but the inner wires are much thinner

The UL spec for the wire gauge is 16AWG. We ALWAYS meet or exceed the specification requirement. Anything thinner (such as 18AWG) may NOT meet the UL specifications.

It would probably work fine with the existing crimp connector. To be sure, I might strip off a longer length of the 20ga, double it over and solder to make it fatter. However, be sure to not use a fuse higher rated than the capacity of your wire.

hi stuart-the best way to know for sure is to try it--so thats what i just did to make sure-no problem on my 16ga twisted wire--hope this helps--robert

I used 18 and 16 wire size. I didn't like the screws that are used to hold the wire. Not well made. I use this for my Kayak battery to run my fish finder.

It's probably a 18 gauge wire. I didn't check the size because I was using it for a GPS.

You only 16-18awg wire for these speakers. No bigger gauge is necessary. One thing I look for is Oxygen free copper wire, I've had great success with that. Here's a link. - Mediabridge 16AWG Speaker Wire (100 Feet) - Spooled Design with Sequential Foot Markings - (Part# SW-16X2-100-CL )
