180°C Max Temperature 0.1mm Wire Diameter 60 Strands Copper Litz Wire for High Frequency Applications

Litz wire is a specialized type of multi-strand cable designed to mitigate the skin effect and proximity effect in high-frequency applications. The specific configuration of 60 strands of 0.1mm gauge, polyurethane-enameled copper wire, without any external jacket (such as nylon or polyimide film), is a high-performance solution tailored for compact and efficient electromagnetic designs.

Technical Characteristics Each of the 60 strands is individually insulated with a thin layer of polyurethane enamel. This insulation ensures that current is forced to distribute evenly across all strands, significantly reducing AC resistance at high frequencies compared to a solid conductor of the same cross-sectional area. The absence of an outer jacket (serving as a "bare" Litz wire) provides a distinct advantage: it minimizes the overall outer diameter (OD) and maximizes the copper fill factor. This makes it an ideal choice for space-constrained environments where every millimeter counts.

Primary Applications This specific wire is predominantly used in high-frequency power electronics, such as:

• High-Frequency Transformers and Inductors: It is widely utilized in switching power supplies and DC-DC converters to reduce eddy current losses in windings.
• Wireless Power Transfer: Due to its flexibility and low AC resistance, it is highly effective for the coils used in wireless charging pads and receivers.
• Induction Heating: It is suitable for precision induction heating components where high-frequency alternating currents are present.
• Miniaturized Electronics: Because it lacks a bulky outer jacket, it is perfect for compact, high-density winding applications where the wire must be tightly packed into small bobbins or integrated into low-profile PCB designs.
