LITZ High Frequency Wires

The field of high frequency electronics creates many problems for the designer and manufacturer of electrical components.
The need for smaller and more efficient components with maximum energy transmission is paramount.
This demand is never more necessary than in high frequency fed transformers, relays, choke coils etc...

LITZ Wire Applications

Problems caused by long lengths of copper running parallel to each other have been documented by designers and manufacturers for many years. Problems include "electrical noise", inductance and capacitance losses and at high frequency, skin effect losses where the electrons move on the outer skin of the copper, not uniformly as at lower frequency.

By using the materials known as "LITZ" High Frequency wires, these losses and the resulting design problems can be minimised.

LITZ wires are essentially a bunch of twisted wires where the same wire is transposed along the length of the wire strand and is only in proximity to its neighbour for the minimum length. Therefore maximising the number of insulated wires in a given cross section gives significant reduction in eddy current losses and almost negates the skin effect problems.

LITZ Wire Advantages

high electrical strength
size reduction and therefore weight
minimum heat build, higher efficiency
losses minimised, almost loss free adjustment
overall cost saving

LITZ Wire Availability

Almost any combination of wire and insulation thickness is available together with outer insulation depending on the voltage gradient, resistance and physical characteristics required.

Normal range: 0.040mm G1 to 0.80mm G2
  Any combination up to 9.00mm squared


LITZ Wire PRICING

Each enquiry is priced individually to minimise the cost.
