Small cable/wire size

[roythegrass]

I'm after some very small wire/leads to connect up to a PP3 9v battery, same size as shown here.

I can't order any without knowing the size of wire - any advice appreciated.

If you have an old pc lying around use IDE/Ribbon Cable, the type of used to connect your hard drive or cd drive to the motherboard. If not Bell wire should do or even speaker cable.

7/0.2 (equipment wire) or 1/0.6 (bell wire) would usually be more than adequate for the current a PP3 battery is capable of delivering.

An odd bit of telephone cable (not a telephone cord), a piece of alarm cable or a cat 5 patch lead could yield some useful bits of wire.
