Where to get 2 conductor cable for making DC cables? (EU)

[mzy12]

This may seem silly, but I genuinely can't find unscreened/non-shielded 2 conductor cable of 24AWG to make DC cables for pedals in any of my regular electronics places (Farnell, Mouser, Digi-key). I mean, I can, but it's always for quantities I don't need like 100M. Other gauges and configurations can be had at a price by the meter for roughly €3.50 or so.

Where do people here get theirs from?

I have the same question. I'd also like to find actual low profile solder-lug DC barrel connectors. All the ones I have found are huge.

Yeah, I don't want to take up 10% of my board space with room made for barrel jacks

Are you looking for zipcord or something with an over jacket? I’ve had great luck on AliExpress for small quantities of wires like this and can link to some

Personally I prefer an over jacket. I have a very bad habit of just, pulling zipcord apart. Apparently a part of my brain just hasn't grown up lmao. I would greatly appreciate the link. Thanks mate

Lmao me too exactly. Looking through my purchases I’m not sure if I’ve bought 24awg.

- up to 22awg silicone outer, some of my favorite: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtjYZdk
- up to 25awg, I’ve only bought larger. Dust magnet silicone https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNdP2z0
- lot of varieties, pvc outer https://a.aliexpress.com/_m092BXC

22 is probably a bit too big for most purposes! I'll stick with 24 awg from one of those links thanks again!

24AWG

Try searching for the metric equivalent… ?

All metric equivalents are sorted under their nearest AWG measurement. So when I select 24 AWG on Farnell, it'll come up with everything around 0.23mm^2
