Pressed Litz Wires

Pressed Litz Wires

Pressed litz wire allow optimal utilization of available winding area due to the superior filling factor. In comparison to a standard round cross section construction, profiled litz wire can increase the filling factor by up to 20%.

Types of Pressed Litz Wire 

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