Hook up wire flexibility rating/keyword
Psi:
Hi,
I'm looking to order few 100m of awg22 silicone hook-up wire from china (alibaba) but i don't want to get that ultra ultra flexible stuff.
I think you will know the kind i mean. You pickup a length of it and it flops down in a sharp 90deg bend right at the end of you finger.
Is there a name or rating for wire flexibility types that i can ask about to reduce the chance i will get the wrong type of wire?
Thanks.

May be you are looking for Solid core hook up wire. See below.

na, i don't want rigid wire. definitely want stranded.
Just not that ultra floppy silicon type you sometimes see.
Maybe its down to the number of strands?
notsob:
Try some of the silicon wire from hobbyking - available by the meter in various AWG and colours this may help with making a decision
PeteH:
Ultra flexible stuff will have a high number of ultra fine strands, 100s of fine wires. Likely thinner silicone insulation (0.010" vs 0.030")
