Can anyone recommend a distributor for short lengths of Teflon insulating tubing? (As in for 18, 22, etc. gauge wire). Mouser lists it but min order is 1000 feet... I only need a foot or two of each size. Tim.
You might find it easier to locate solid or stranded wire which is pre-insulated with Teflon.

boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads!
If you just need short pieces it might be easier to strip some Teflon wire and use the insulation.

Allelectronics has #20 in 4 foot lengths for 60 cents.

It looks like MSC sells it by the foot. (page 4195 of the 99 book)

Try a coilwinding/transformer winding wire supplier, it's a stock thing for them.

Be carefull when buying non-roll quantities. Some dispensing measurement methods 'flatten' the material, so that it will never again easily assume full diameter.

I've had luck using silicone tubing as a high temp insulator in the past. Get it from old sections of spark plug wiring. Just pull out the core(carbon conductor with nylon weave jacketing.) with a pair of needle nose pliers.(For cores that are sticky spray a bit of silicone lubricant in between the silicone sleeve and the nylon jacketing.) Advantage is it's a good high temp insulator and can be gotten on the cheap. If you've got to have the teflon try a local plastics supply house in your area, or a plastics fabricator shop. They'll have odd bits that you could get cheaply.
