Litz Wire (Flat Wire)

Copper is the standardly used conductor material for enameled wire with excellent conductivity and very good winding ability. Enameled Copper Wire, otherwise known as magnet wire, is a highly versatile material used principally in applications that require electrical transference including transformers, inductors, motors, generators, speakers, hard disk actuators, electromagnets and other applications that require tight coils of enamel insulated copper wire. Copper's highly conductive properties make it the perfect metal for electrical applications, and it can be fully annealed and electrolytically refined to allow closer winding for electromagnetic coils. By coating the wire with insulation – typically one to four layers of polymer film – the flat enameled copper wire is protected from contact with its own and other wires'electrical currents, preventing short circuits from occurring and extending the longevity, efficiency and applications for the wire.
