Stranded Vs Solid Wire

• Stranded and solid wires are used in making
  electrical products. They are highly preferred
  various industries and manufacturing setups. A
  solid wire comprises a solid metal core, while
  stranded wires are made by combining several
  thinner wires by twisting them.
• There are several factors to be considered while
  buying stranded copper wire or solid copper wire.
  These factors include the size of the wire, wire
  gauge, amperage load, and type of metal used. Not
  to forget that cost is also a crucial factor
  sometimes in deciding upon the wire. You can find
  bulk stranded copper wire connectors and jumpers
  in the market besides finding solid wires in
  bulk.

Stranded Wire

• Stranded copper wires are flexible as they are
  malleable and ductile. It means they can be bent
  and twisted to get the desired shape and size.
  These types of wires are bundled together and are
  used mainly in speakers, circuit boards, and
  electronic devices. The reason that it is used in
  these electronic items is that these wires can be
  twisted to connect electronic components. 
• You must be thinking about the benefit it has
  over solid wires. Well, you can say that they are
  more flexible and durable than solid wires due to
  malleability. Since solid wires are hard to bend
  or twist, engineers prefer stranded copper
  jumpers and stranded wires in a large quantity.

Solid Wire

• Now lets learn more about the solid wire. These
  wires can withstand extreme weather as the solid
  wire is rugged and anti-corrosive. It means that
  it can withstand the load. Solid wires are
  heavier than stranded copper wires. Its easier
  to carry current through a building when the
  solid wire is used. It requires a high current
  and less movement. Solid wires are cheap as
  compared to stranded wires. If we talk about the
  use of solid wire, you should know that they are
  used in building infrastructures and vehicle
  controls.

What should you prefer?

• Its not hard to decide if you should go for
  stranded copper wire or solid wire. It depends on
  your needs by large. If youre considering
  durability and cost, theres a bigger advantage
  if you choose solid wire. They are resistant to
  damage. However, you should also consider the
  point that this type of wire is not malleable,
  thus, lacks strength. 
• In case youre talking about electric components
  where its feasible to use bunched wires, you
  should prefer stranded wires. In robotics,
  vehicle controls, and circuit boards, you need
  wires to be twisted, bent, and reshaped. Here,
  stranded wire is a safe option for you.

• Another point to consider is the cost of the
  wire. As discussed earlier, solid wires are low
  on cost as compared to their other variants. So,
  if youre looking to buy low-cost wires for
  electrical use, you can buy solid wires. With
  that said, its important to buy from a trusted
  seller or supplier. 
• Ganpati Engineering is a leading manufacturer of
  quality copper wires. You can find copper wires,
  tinned wires, RTD cables, network cables, and
  more products.
