Tinsel wire is a form of low voltage ref Modern dictionary of electronics By Rudolf F. Graf p786 ref Electricity electrical wire used when maximum mechanical flexibility is required. It is commonly found in cords used for telephone s, especially the handset cords, and in headphone s. Because of its extreme flexibility it is much more resistant to failing as a result of Fatigue material metal fatigue than ordinary Wire Stranded stranded wire or Wire Solid solid wire . Tinsel wire is also used in the power cable for very small appliances such as electric shavers or clocks, where stranded cable conductors of adequate mechanical size would be too stiff. ref G. F. Moore ed Electric cables handbook third edition ,Blackwell Science,1997 ISBN 0 632 04075 0, page 234 ref Tinsel cords are recognized as type TPT or TST in the US and Canadian electrical codes, and are rated at 0.5 amperes. Tinsel wire is made by wrapping several strands of thin copper Metal leaf foil around a textile core. Because the foil is very thin, it is extremely flexible the extreme thinness of the foil means that the minimum bend radius imposed on the foil is many times the thickness of the foil, leading to a low probability of metal fatigue . Meanwhile, the fabric core provides high tensile strength . Separated from the core, the individual foils are relatively fragile, and the textile core can be damaged by high temperatures. Together, these two factors make it difficult or impractical to terminate tinsel wire by soldering during equipment manufacture, although soldering is possible, with some difficulty, to repair a failed connection. Although soldering may be used for emergency repairs, the foil conductors tend to break at their junction with the rigid solder. Instead, Crimp joining crimped connections are commonly ... insulation of the tinsel wire, allowing the connection to be made without the need to strip the insulation off the conductor.

Resistance wire is electrical wire used for its property of electrical resistance. It is routinely used at high temperatures, so normally also has high melting point. Resistance wire is usually used for high power resistor s and heating element s, which produce heat used in electric heater s, electric oven s and toaster s, and many other appliances. Types Nichrome , a non magnetism magnetic alloy of nickel and chromium, is commonly used to make resistance wire because it has a high resistivity and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. When used as a heating element, resistance wire is usually wound into coils. One difficulty in using nichrome wire is that common electrical solder will not stick to it, so the connections to the electrical power must be made using other methods such as crimp connectors or screw terminals. Constantan is used where resistance is required to not change with temperature. Constantan is readily solderable, though soldered joints have limited temperature range. Many elements and alloys have been used as resistance wire for special purposes.
