Served Litz Wire
General
High frequency litz wire served with natural silk, polyester, or nylon is characterized by increased dimensional stability and mechanical protection. The optimized serving tension ensures high flexibility and splicing- or spring up prevention during the process of cutting the litz wire. This splicing effect can cause handing and contacting of the wire ends more difficult in post processing.
Features and benefits of served litz wires
- Additional protection against mechanical stress
- Excellent dimensional and physical stability
- High flexibility
- Splicing prevention
- Good solderability above temperatures of 410 °C
- Improved impregnation
- Optimization of winding capacity
- Serving material allows optimization of insulation distances
