what gauge wire is on this? can the wire be replaced if soldering?

I believe they're 14 gauge. They're pretty thick. Not sure what you're asking in regards to soldering. The wires are soldered inside the housing. I don't recall if you can access them. I installed this on my boat for phone charging.

Sorry I can't confirm either way. The solder comes exactly as pictured, coiled like a spring, no identifying marks on the solder or on the box. I actually had my own lead free so just used that.

these are your best bet because you can use a lower (heavier duty) "awg or gage" wire dirrectly to the connection/metal of the connector- deffinitely a plus for ease and efficiency of use and installation, most importantly you dont have to worry about splicing in to the flimsy thin wire on all the others available. solderless connectors like these are fullproof while other "style" connectors can be shady sometimes. ive used these 110 and dc and in a car using the battery directly

It's LED so you really can't unless you want to break the soldering gun out and solder new ones in. I don't believe it was made to replace.

Its really small wire. Probably 24g. I had a really hard time splicing it. But if you strip about 2 to 3 times more than you need you can just did the wire to make it thicker

I got it for a relative. I don't know what gauge it is, but it was built really cheap.

18 gauge wire is what we used and it works just perfect. Hope this helps you with your decision.

The roll I have is on a plastic spool that has an outside diameter of two inches, but the inside has a open axle of three quarters. The solder itself is about 1/8" to 3/16" and appears to have three layers on the spool. Roy T.

Someone in the reviews said that it is copper clad aluminum. That is the best reason for me to avoid it. Aluminium (or for us Yanks, aluminum) is the one metal that I have found impossible to solder. The most durable insulated wire is "oxygen free." That means that the bright, shiny wire is encased in plastic, and if it is copper, I can solder the stripped-off ends to make them free from oxydation as well as a much better, solid, electrical connection.

No idea mine broke the 2nd time I tried to use it which was like 6 months after the 1st time. The solder came loose so I no longer would recommend this

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

I can't recall. I just used bare wire and tighten the screws on that--works great!

Glad to help. This kit is great. Comes in very handy when needed. However, I believe #8 gauge is the largest wire it can be used on.

Get a roll of plane old 12 or 14/2 stranded elec. wire. No need to go fancy doesn't buy you a thing. The bigger the gauge is always better.

There should be no problem doing that. You should tin the wires, solder, to prevent them from unraveling.

Don't know gauge, but using same gauge as what is on the unit works fine for connecting to battery.

I have two gauge in mine. That's prob. Pretty close to as big as it goes due to size of the connector that wire goes into.
