Heater Wiring AWG2x?
#1
Good Day, I´m new to the forum and this is my first post. So cheers from over the big pond. Smile

A bit of contextual information:

I have to wire heaters in a 18W-TMB type cirquit (3xECC83, EZ81, 2xEL84) and for the preamp-tubes a switch will be employed to change pins 4/5/9 to accomodate equivalent valves with a different pinout.

Since two wires have to go on/in some lugs of each switch I was wondering if I can use AWG24 wire to make it less cramped and still be safe in terms of current rating or other issues. The specific wire I have readily at hand and plan to use in this instance is

WEICO 3024-TC AWG24 top-coated hookup-wire (UL1007, UL1569, CSA TR-64, 300V, -40 to 105°C).

Any thoughts and comments? And feel free to write what you think about wire rating and general properties for wiring tube amps.

Cheers,

Florian
