The core of selection is temperature rating: choose silicone wire when the operating temperature exceeds 105℃ or the ambient temperature is below -20℃; for household appliances, electronic equipment, and industrial internal wiring at normal temperatures (80~105℃) without frequent bending, PVC electronic wire offers better cost performance. Silicone wire typically costs more per unit than PVC wire, but offers significantly better lifespan and safety margin under high-temperature conditions.

Look at temperature first, then bending, and finally cost: choose silicone wire for >105℃, and PVC electronic wire for ≤105℃ with static installation.
