What size wire will the relays accept? 14 gauge?

I just tried with. a piece of ROMEX 14ga solid copper wire & it did slide into the terminal-block. So, yes it will accept a single 14ga wire.

It will actually accept up to #12, although stranded wire always has a slightly larger diameter for the same AWG. Remember that although solid #14 is safe for up to 32 amps free-air/17 enclosed (stranded slightly higher, all values conservative), the relay contacts are rated at 10 amps.

Hi Matt, 18gauge wire is safe up to 48ft long. Longer runs over 48ft will require 16gauge. The 14 gauge is a hype and I dont use it unless im running 100ft. Hope this helps.

Yes , 16 gauge is fine. The spec's state it is good for 14 guage (which is larger wire) as well.

18 gauge. Don't know why people answer with guesses. It's like guessing a fuse is 15 amps when it's really only 8 amps. Huge difference between 14 gauge and 18 gauge.

Yes that gauge wire should be no problem. These were actually larger than I was expecting.

wire size should be #12 on a 20 amp. circuit or #14 on a 15 amp. circuit . wire can be individual thhn if in conduit or uf cable if direct buried.

I had a NEMA 6-50 installed...I do not believe it would work with a 14-50R, judging by the differences I see. I am not an electrician though. I'm just going by what they look like on google images

I would hard wire for this application with a wall switch at house level. Not sure you need 12 gauge wire. I believe 14 will work.

14 gauge would fit, but i wouldn't recommend 12. it was intended for running to small to medium size speakers i think. the internal amp was only meant to power the sub and two surround speakers ( L Sub and R Sub i'm guessing). also, since my receiver only has 1 RCA input for the subwoofer, i needed a Y adaptor. you can use one side, but you'll want both plugged in. it is a great speaker, well worth the price

I really do not know the wire gauge size, however these are sold primarily for the Battery Tender which only puts out 3/4 amps.

The wire gauge is 14 AWG. This info is on Tripp Lite's site under frequently asked questions.

I'm currently in the process of trying to run some 16 gauge through, and it's a bit of a hassle. The shielding on this wire is a bit "tacky", so there's a lot of friction, and it's a bit thick, so that might play a role in it. The smallest part of the tubing is about " in diameter, so probably more than sufficient for 14 gauge, but the opening in the back of the tube -- where the wire has to make a sharp 90 turn -- is only " in diameter.

These lights came with wire connectors and you simply snap them onto the wires. Should work with both 14/2 and 16/2. The connector has different slots for different wire width.

I used it with 14 gauge wire. I don't know if they would work with thicker wire or not but you could certainly use them with either 14 or 16 awg.

I used 12 gauge wire from Advance auto as I already had enough on hand. Since the pump itself has smaller 16 gauge lead wires on it that is a little overkill . The pump does not draw much current (amps ) so 14 gauge wire would work safely as well. Do not use the smaller 22 /24 gauge speaker wire or such crap like the moron that previously owned my boat as it is unsafe and not suitable.

It should work as long as it's stranded wire and not solid 14 might be a little tough

The way mine are soldered I can't get to the bare wire to get an accurate measurement but the cable has 2x1.5mm^2 printed on it. I think that puts them at about AWG 14 or 15. That's also what I'd estimate by looking at them. However, since they don't list the gauge in the description it's possible that you'd get different wire on yours.
