I'm trying to purchase a roll of these connection wire for use with Arduino and breadboards in general, but I'm not exactly sure what they are technically call? Gauge, stranded, hook up, solid wire? I already have a kit, but I need more so a roll would do. Will these do? http://www.microcenter.com/product/404659/22_Gauge_Stranded_Hook-Up_Wire_25-Foot_6-Color_Kit
That is stranded wire. To use it for solderless breadboards (aka protoboard), you'll need to solder on bits of solid wire as you cannot insert stranded wire into the spring contacts. Do NOT be tempted to merely tin (in other words, put some solder on) the ends of the wires. Solder gets a layer of soft corrosion that will come off onto the spring contacts in a solderless breadboard or the sockets on an Arduino and cause poor connections.
If you are soldering this in, that is the right wire to use for all but high current, high voltage, and/or high frequency signals.
It is called 22 gauge stranded hookup wire, or just 22 gauge stranded wire. Exactly what you've found here.
If you are using this for a solderless breadboard, get 22 gauge solid wire.
Another common name is 'jumper wires'.
Okay, I will get a box when I run out. Thanks for the help.
I use 24AWG cat5 solid conductors. Just snip the length you want off a spool of cat5, and strip the ends. Or save the cut-offs when you're doing ethernet wiring instead of throwing them in the garbage.
