Insulated Electric Wire (Copper) (Product Code: SCL-642/069) is copper conductor wire with shock-resistant insulation, supplied by length in metres, for making the electrical connections in chemistry and physics practicals. Teachers and lab assistants use it to join cells, electrodes, bulbs, switches and meters in conductivity, electrolysis and electrochemical cell experiments. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, so it can be ordered together with the apparatus it connects.

In the chemistry lab this wire links the two half-cells of a Daniell cell to a voltmeter or galvanometer, connects carbon or metal electrodes to a battery for the electrolysis of water or copper sulphate solution, and completes the lamp circuit used to show which solutions conduct electricity. Schools running electrochemical cell kits and electrolysis apparatus need a steady stock of it, because pieces are cut to length for each set-up and wear out with repeated use. The same wire serves for simple series and parallel circuits in physics.
Cut the length you need, remove a short section of insulation from each end with a wire stripper or cutter, and clean the bare copper so the contact is good. Crocodile clips make quick, secure connections to electrodes and terminals. Always switch off or disconnect the supply before changing connections, and discard any piece whose insulation is nicked or cracked.
This wire is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades under the ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana, India and equips school and college laboratories. More about the company is on the profile page.

How is the wire sold?
It is supplied by length in metres. Tell us the total length you need and we will quote accordingly.
What gauge or cross-section is the conductor?
Conductor size is not stated in our current listing. Contact us with your requirement before ordering.
Is it suitable for mains wiring?
A current and voltage rating is not specified for this item, so please confirm with us before using it on mains supply. For low-voltage cell and battery circuits in practicals it is a convenient connecting wire.
What colour is the insulation?
Insulation colour is not listed. If you need specific colours to mark positive and negative leads, mention this in your enquiry.
How should the wire be stored?
Keep it coiled loosely in a dry place, away from acids and solvents that can attack insulation, and avoid sharp kinks that weaken the copper.
Can it be shipped with a laboratory order abroad?
Yes. We supply schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets and can pack consumables such as wire with equipment in one consignment.
To order copper connecting wire, contact us with the length required or add it to the enquiry cart.
