Product Overview

The self-bonding enameled copper round wire combines a polyurethane base enamel with an integral self-bonding overcoat. After winding, the outer bonding layer is activated by heat, solvent or alcohol, fusing the turns into a rigid self-supporting coil. This removes the need for bobbins, tie cords or varnish impregnation, simplifying assembly and improving consistency in high-volume production.

With a diameter range of 0.040 to 0.80 mm and thermal classes of 130, 155 and 180 °C, the wire is widely used in miniature and precision coil applications where coil geometry must remain stable throughout the life of the product.

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.
  • Self-bonding overcoat eliminates varnish impregnation and reduces process steps.
  • Stable coil geometry improves electrical consistency and reduces assembly scrap.
  • Direct solderability supports high-speed automated winding and termination.

Product Features

  • Excellent thermal shock resistance and high mechanical strength.
  • Capable of continuous operation at temperatures up to the rated thermal class.
  • Direct solderability without prior stripping of the enamel film.
  • Uniform enamel thickness and tight conductor diameter tolerance.
  • Available in polyester, solderable, high-temperature, refrigerant-resistant, self-lubricating and flame-retardant bonding variants.
  • Smooth, abrasion-resistant surface for high-speed automatic winding.

Typical Applications

  • Deflection coils for display and picture tubes.
  • Special-shaped coils for servo and stepper motors.
  • Micro-motor coils and miniature actuators.
  • Voice coils, relay coils and sensor windings.
  • Frameless and self-supporting coils that must hold their shape without a former.

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
How is the self-bonding layer activated?
Depending on the grade selected, the bonding layer can be activated by hot air or oven heating, by alcohol, or by a solvent such as ethanol. Our engineers will recommend the most suitable bonding method for your winding process and equipment.
Q
Can the wire replace varnish impregnation?
In many coil designs yes. Self-bonding wire creates a rigid turn-to-turn bond that can remove the impregnation step entirely, shortening the production cycle and eliminating varnish-related emissions and curing equipment.
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.
