Hookup wire:Typical hookup wire is Teflon, PVC and cloth braid. Using Teflon wire is the best for higher temperatures and soldering close to the ends without having it shrink or pull back. PVC wire works well but again is not good for higher temperatures and shrinking or pull back is common with this type of wire. Cloth braid is a great hookup wire and works great under heat and looks great when used properly.
