In this paper, we analyzed on the characteristics of the stranded wire disconnected by bending stress. The stranded wire that used in the experiment are PVC insulated flexible cords(VCTFK) of $0.75mm^2,\;1.25mm^2,\;and\;2.0mm^2$. They are used to connect the load in low voltage. The stranded wires disconnected by bending stress were magnified with optical microscope. Using X-ray, the disconnected wire were photographed. we compared mechanical characteristics of the stranded wire between disconnected tendency and allowable current. On the mechanical strength of vinyl captyre ellipse type cords under bending stress, $1.25mm^2$ VCTFK was the strongest of them. When it was bended $826.3{\pm}7\;times$, it appeared the disconnected tendency that element wires of $1.25mm^2$ VCTFK are more about 1.67 times than element wires of $0.75mm^2$ VCTFK. In mechanical strength, $1.25mm^2$ VCTFK is higher about 1.7 times than $0.75mm^2$ VCTFK. Therefore, we found out that mechanical strength will be higher, if element wire is a lot. In comparison with bending stress, $1.25mm^2$ VCTFK is the strongest among samples, and then it is the most useful in wires of movable type.
