I have a project that I am working on and will be using a single hole perf-board. The design calls for two long runs (DC+ and DC-). I intend to use the component leads where possible but need two extra stripped wires to facilitate the positive and negative runs. I hope you can follow what I am saying. The voltage on this circuit will be a maximum of 30 volts DC with 1.5 Amp of current.
I know that there is coated .1mm trace wire but am concerned about its ability to handle current. The other option is stripping the insulation off of a couple 24 Gauge wires and using it.

Thanks in advance.

 

22AWG single strand wire will work.

 

24 is a bit small. Either run 2 wires per line or solder tack at every pad to use the board as a radiator.

 

What will the length of these lines be?

If < 12", 22ga would be fine. 24ga has a max rating of 2A in short runs, but it is generally good practice to stay far away from the max.

 

Thank you all for the assistance!
