HF Litz Wire

HF Litz Wire

HF Litz The high flexibility of litz wires is used in various high frequency equipment such as chokes, RF transformers, induction coil, etc for winding purpose. The Litz wire are normally insulated with several layers of various types yarns, tapes or they could even be extruded.

Types Of HF Litz Wire 

  • Round Litz Wires
  • Rectangular Litz Wire
  • Square Litz Wire

Type Of Insulation

Insulation Type Temperature Class Features
Polyimide – imide 220°C – Better thermal properties.
Polyimide-imide modified 180°C – Good electrical properties.
Polyester-imide modified
+ Polyimide – imide
200°C – High temperature/Better dielectric values/ Better moisture
resistance.
Polyimide 240°C – Better flexibility/Better chemical compatibility/ High dielectric
values.
Polyurethane modified 155 to 180 – Solderable/Good flexibility/ Better moisture resistance.
Cotton 105°C – Low cost/Good abrasion resistance.
Cellulosic Papers (Kraft paper/Crepe Paper) 120°C – Better electrical values / Better bending values for crepe
paper.
Polyester (PET) 130°C High dielectric strength / Good abrasion resistance
Nomex 200°C (Up to 220°C under certain conditions – High inherent dielectric strength/Mechanical toughness / Thermal
stability
Polyimide Kapton® 240°C
(Up to 400°C under certain conditions
– high performance / Heat resistant/ Good adhesion properties /Low
outgassing under vacuum.
Fiber Glass Temperature class will depends on the Application and type of
Glass
– Excellent electrical properties at high temperature / Excellent
solvent resistance
Mica Temperature class will depend on the Application Highly flexible and easy to wind, which provides good adhesion with
coils excellent electrical insulation properties including corona resistance/Excellent heat
resistance, which also allows for use in high heat resistance classification
Silicon (Exclusion) 220°C  – Highly flexible and easy to bend, excellent for indoor and outdoor
application. Provides good resistance to oil, grease, water etc. Excellent heat resistance, which
also allows for use in high speed and high frequency application.
