Pure electrolytic copper wire uniformly electroplated with nickel. This wire is used for inner-lead part in Lead-in-Wires of incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tube, halogen, HID, automotive, and other lamps. It is also used in cable industry for automotive and other electronics applications.
| Wire | Cu | Others |
|---|---|---|
| Cu core | 99.90 min | 0.10 max |
| Nickel layer | High purity Nickel | |
Thickness of Nickel layer
2-4% by weight or minimum of 2% by weight in thickness. Higher Nickel plating thickness (like 4% or 8%) can be manufactured as per customer requirement. The nickel coating has uniform adhesion over the full length of the copper core wire.
| Diameter of wire | Thickness of Nickel plating | Application |
|---|---|---|
| mm | % by weight | |
| 0.20 - 0.60 | 2.0 - 4.0 | For Lead-in-Wires / Cables |
| 0.70 - 0.90 | 2.0 - 3.0 | For Lead-in-Wires |
| 0.80 - 1.50 | 8.0 - 12.0 | For redraw |
| Wire Type | Tensile strength (N/mm²) | Elongation % at L0=100 mm |

|---|---|---|---|
| Min | Max | ||
| Annealed (soft) | 200 | 300 | ≥ 20 |
| As drawn | 350 | 500 | ≤ 5 |
| Size in mm | 0.2 - 0.3 | 0.4 - 0.9 | 1.0 - 2.0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tolerance (+/-) | 0.005 | 0.01 | 0.02 |
The ovality (the difference between the largest and smallest diameter in a section) is less than half the tolerance in diameter.
Stranded wires are also available. Please contact JLC for more information.
Packaging
In standard DIN spools or corrugated drums / barrels (14" outer dia x 10" height)
| Diameter of wire | Recommneded Spool Type |
Weight per spool |
|---|---|---|
| mm | kg | |
| 0.20 - 0.60 | DIN 160 | 5 - 7 |
| DIN 200 | 6 - 8 | |
| DIN 250 | 12 - 20 | |
| Corrugated Drum | 12 - 20 | |
| 0.70 - 0.90 | DIN 200 | 6 - 8 |
| DIN 250 | 15 - 22 | |
