Hi Guys
Just for reference, in the Q&A section for the wire Jollyjoe bought, there is size given for #20 shielded:
"What is the diameter of 20 awg shielded wire?
The diameter of shielded 20ga white wire M27500-20TG1T14 part # 11-14420 is 2mm."
That's pretty nice for inside equipment.
What is Tefzel? A brand name of Dupont, just like Teflon, for an insulation often referred to as EFTE - Teflon is often referred to as PTFE. There are many articles online that discuss the properties of these insulations, such as this one:
https://www.lectromec.com/an-overview-of...-and-etfe/
and this chart from NASA:
https://nepp.nasa.gov/npsl/Wire/insulation_guide.htm
The chart lists Teflon as being "more flexible" but this is relative to some of the other MIL-spec wire NOT to common PVC-insulated wire.
Have fun
