Compare copper and aluminum conductors for magnet wire by conductivity, weight, size, temperature rise, winding process, connection reliability and application fit.
How to Choose Magnet Wire Materials
Choose magnet wire materials by conductor, insulation type, thermal class, voltage stress, winding process, termination method, environment and testing requirements.
Aluminum Conductor for Magnet Wire
Aluminum conductor magnet wire can reduce weight and material cost, but designers must account for lower conductivity, larger conductor size and connection reliability.
Copper Conductor for Magnet Wire
Copper is the main conductor material for magnet wire because it offers high conductivity, compact winding size, good mechanical behavior and reliable connection performance.
Magnet Wire Materials
Magnet wire materials include copper and aluminum conductors, enamel insulation, overcoats, film and covering materials selected by temperature, voltage, winding process and application.
How to Choose Enameled Wire
Choose enameled wire by conductor material, wire shape, size, insulation type, thermal class, standard, testing requirement, winding process and application environment.
