Nickel Chrome Wire #38 (.004" / 0.10mm) x 100'

One 100' length of nickel chromium ("nichrome") wire. Clean and furnished on a plastic spool.

Nickel chromium is characterized by a high electrical resistance (about 58 times that of copper), high resistance to oxidation and a low temperature coefficient of resistance. This alloy is particularly ductile and is commonly used to make items such as heating elements, hot wire cutters and wire-wound resistors.
