Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the quality of magnet wire, with Belden being highlighted as a reputable supplier for ordinary magnet wire. For high-purity applications, MWS is recommended due to its square cross-section design, which allows for more turns per volume. Specialty suppliers are also available for specific needs such as military specifications, space qualifications, and radiation-hardened insulations. Users seeking basic solid core electromagnets may find satisfactory performance from brands like Parawire.

Depends on what you mean by "quality." Belden is a well-respected supplier of ordinary magnet wire. If you want high-purity (and conductivity), square cross section (more turns per volume), or other metals, go to a company like MWS. Mil-spec? Space qualified? Radiation hard insulations? There are specialty suppliers for these, too.
 
magnet wire for basic solid core electromagnets. I don't need anything specific just ordinary magnet wire. I have been buying magnet wire from parawire.com, and really had not considered the "quality" of their product it performs fine, just curious if there was a reputable brand or supplier, Thanks.
