Barely fifty years ago a computer was a gargantuan, vastly expensive thing that only a handful of scientists had ever seen. The world's brightest engineers were stymied in their quest to make these machines small and affordable until the solution finally came from two ingenious young Americans. Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce hit upon the stunning discovery that would make possible the silicon microchip, a work that would ultimately earn Kilby the Nobel Prize for physics in 2000. In this completely revised and updated edition of The Chip, T.R. Reid tells the gripping adventure story of their invention and of its growth into a global information industry. This is the story of how the digital age began.Binding Type: Paperback

Well worth the money
Size: 8 AWG 3 ft per color, Color: Red and Black, Size: 8 AWG 3 ft per color, Color: Red and Black
Much easier to use over trying to put the hard case extension wires in my solar controllers.. very well made.
Now I can feel confident I got the wires in properly.

Read the full description, this not 6 ft of wire
Size: 8 AWG 3 ft per color, Color: Red and Black
item as described but it’s a play on words. I wanted 6 ft of wire, searched found and bought what I thought was 6 ft of wire. I opened package to find two 3 ft pieces. Rest of description accurate but it should not say 6 ft of wire. You don’t go to a hard ware store and and buy four 2 ft boards to make 8 ft.

BNTECHGO provides high quality silicone insulated wire, I have used it for indoor and vehicle (motorcycle) purposes and always been well pleased; whether crimped or soldered the connections hold!
