New AWG #28 - 0.33 wire


 

Hi Group,
Hans has meanwhile exchanged 0.60mm wire by 0.33mm wire in many kits (same or better performance).
As I have an "old" Rev 1 QMX here to build I had the idea buying 0.33mm wire as it's much easier to work with.
?
There are many offerings of enamel wire (DL: Kupferlackdraht), but maybe due to the metric system the offerings are rather 0.3mm.
So I'm wondering this 0.03mm difference is significant?
Also I'm not know if there are quality differences on these wires I should be aware of? Does all the enable burn off, or do I need particular brand / quality?
?
Any good source with fast/affordable shipment (to Germany)?

Thomas,? the extra 0.03 won't make any difference.?
Regarding the enamel, there are several kinds. Some are designed to burn off with a very hot iron.? Some are designed for high temperature,? and must be scraped off. So you need to be aware of that and test the wrie you get, and/or read in its specs to know.? I? personally scrape all enamel wire types, because relying on the enamel burning off results in most of the kit assembly issues.

Also be aware of the type of wire.? For this application copper is better than copper-clad steel, etc?
