Product Overview
Polyamide-imide enameled copper round wire, designated PIW or QY, is the highest-performance enamel system in our round-wire range. The polyamide-imide film delivers outstanding mechanical strength, electrical performance and resistance to heat, chemicals and refrigerants, making it the correct choice for motors that must survive overload, extreme cold or aggressive refrigerants.
Supplied from 0.040 to 0.50 mm in thermal classes 200, 220 and 240, it is widely used in sealed refrigeration compressors, ignition coils and high-temperature electrical equipment.
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.

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 Code | International Code | Enamel Type | Thermal Class / Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| QA | UEW | Polyurethane Enameled Wire | Direct solderable; 130 / 155 / 180 °C |
| QZ | PEW | Polyester Enameled Wire | 130 / 155 °C |
| QZY | EIW | Polyesterimide Enameled Wire | 180 °C |
| QXY | AIW | Polyamide-Imide Enameled Wire | 200 / 220 / 240 °C |
| Q(ZY/XY) | EI/AIW (PEI/PAI) | Polyesterimide / Polyamide-Imide Composite | 200 °C |
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.
