Heavy build insulation provides a thicker coating, offering better dielectric strength and mechanical protection at the cost of slightly reduced copper fill factor.
Magnetic Wire Component Intelligence
Precision-wound magnetic wire for custom electromagnetic components.
What are Magnetic Wire components?
Magnetic wire is enameled copper conductor used for electromagnetic coils. Selection hinges on AWG gauge for current density, insulation thermal class for operating temperature, and coating type for mechanical durability and winding process compatibility.
How to Choose Magnetic Wire Components
Selecting the right wire is critical for winding efficiency and component reliability.
AWG Gauge
Determines current capacity and winding space. Ensure the gauge matches your current density requirements to prevent overheating.
Thermal Class
Defines the maximum continuous operating temperature. Match the class (e.g., 155°C, 180°C) to your application's thermal profile.
Insulation Type
Choose between single, heavy, or triple-insulated coatings based on dielectric strength and mechanical stress during winding.
Conductor Material
While copper is standard for conductivity, consider specialized alloys or coatings if your design requires specific resistance or flexibility.
Insulation Damage
Sharp winding mandrels or excessive tension can strip insulation, leading to shorted turns and catastrophic failure.
