Product Overview

QY polyamide-imide enameled wire is our top-tier speciality grade for the most demanding environments. The enamel film delivers an exceptional combination of mechanical strength, electrical performance, chemical resistance, radiation resistance and refrigerant resistance, allowing continuous operation where standard enamels would degrade rapidly.

Supplied from 0.040 to 0.50 mm in thermal classes 220 and 240, it is used in motors and appliances operating under high-temperature, extreme-cold, radiation-exposed or overload conditions, as well as in automotive and motorcycle ignition coils.

Key Advantages

  • Dual manufacturing hubs in Changzhou and Foshan, China, covering both fine-gauge and heavy-gauge production.
  • Full production range from 0.04 mm to 2.50 mm, supporting everything from micro-motors to large power equipment.
  • Monthly output of approximately 3,000 tons, with stable capacity for repeat and high-volume programmes.
  • ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified quality and environmental management systems.
  • RoHS and REACH compliant insulation systems for European and North American markets.
  • Wire manufactured in accordance with IEC, NEMA, GB and JIS international standards.
  • Exceptional thermal endurance up to Class 240.
  • Resistance to chemicals, refrigerants, radiation and extreme cold.
  • High resistance to soft breakdown under electrical overload.

Product Features

  • Excellent mechanical, electrical and chemical properties.
  • Superior resistance to soft breakdown and overload conditions.
  • High mechanical strength for demanding winding processes.
  • Withstands high temperature, extreme cold and radiation exposure.
  • Outstanding refrigerant resistance for hermetic systems.
  • Stable performance in chemically aggressive environments.

Typical Applications

  • Motors and appliances under high-temperature, extreme-cold or overload conditions.
  • Equipment exposed to radiation or aggressive chemicals.
  • Automotive and motorcycle engine ignition coils.
  • Sealed refrigeration and air-conditioning compressors.
  • High-reliability industrial, defence and aerospace windings.

Enamel Type Reference

The enamel designations below are the international equivalents of the Chinese GB codes. All five enamel systems are available on copper, aluminium and copper-clad aluminium conductors, and can be combined with the insulation grades and thermal classes shown on this page.

GB CodeInternational CodeEnamel TypeThermal Class / Feature

Overseas customers normally work with the international codes (UEW, PEW, EIW, AIW). When specifying a grade, please state the international code together with the required thermal class, for example UEW 155 °C or EI/AIW 200 °C.

FAQ

Q
What makes QY wire different from standard EIW wire?
QY uses a polyamide-imide enamel rather than polyester-imide. This raises the thermal class to 220 °C or 240 °C and adds significant chemical, refrigerant and radiation resistance, which standard EIW cannot provide.
Q
Is QY wire suitable for ignition coils?
Yes. High thermal endurance and excellent dielectric strength under transient overload make polyamide-imide wire the established choice for automotive and motorcycle ignition coils.
Q
Can you produce custom diameters, colours and thermal classes?
Yes. As a manufacturer operating two production bases, we can customise conductor diameter, enamel build, colour and thermal class to match your drawing or reference sample. Send us your specification and we will confirm feasibility and tooling lead time.
Q
Do you provide samples for evaluation?
Yes. Standard specifications can be supplied as free samples for qualification testing; freight is normally arranged on a collect basis. Customised specifications may require a small sample charge, which is credited against your first bulk order.
Q
What is the typical lead time?
Standard specifications are typically dispatched within 7 to 15 working days after order confirmation. Lead time for customised or high-volume orders is confirmed at the quotation stage.
Q
How is the wire packed for export?
Wire is wound on plastic or plywood spools, individually wrapped to prevent moisture and mechanical damage, then packed in carton boxes on pallets or in plywood cases. Packing is suitable for both sea and air freight, and customised spool sizes and pallet configurations are available.
Q
What documentation is supplied with each shipment?
Each shipment is accompanied by a packing list, commercial invoice and certificate of origin where applicable. Inspection and test reports covering conductor diameter, enamel thickness, elongation, flexibility and breakdown voltage can be provided on request.
