Flexible 22 gauge wire?

[goonie]

Hey guys, I'm looking for some small (22ga+) wire to work with a small PC board.

I'm thinking copper might be the best here (instead of steel or silver), since tiny wires tend to break easily.

I need something that can resist a few bends - also that when heated (soldered), doesn't become brittle or too stiff.

I hope I'm not asking for the impossible.

Thanks guys!

Thanks - do you have any personal experience using it?

Not from that vendor, but I've used similar, yes. Flux/tin the ends before making your connections and you should be fine.

Thanks for the help. I ordered a few rolls. They are pretty cheap - but the shipping+ tax is killer. Do you know of a vendor that sells the same type of gear but without the $7 shipping?

Sorry, I dont - but maybe someone else will chime in with an alternate.

I like to use fine stranded silicone shielded wire, Its very flexible and easy to use. This type of wire is widely used in the RC hobby and can be purchased from a wide variety of RC places.

I'll let you know how it goes. Anything is better than the crap that is rigged up into ego batteries.
