Superior Conductivity Pure Copper Wire High Ductile Strength

Product Description

Copper wire has the best electrical conductivity after silver. As silver cannot be afforded in a wide variety of things, it is copper which is very widely used. Due to the high ductile strength of copper, it can be transformed into a strong wire.

Copper wires can be divided into plain copper wires, tin coated copper wires and braided copper wires. Plain copper wire is used in electronic items to make point to point connection on the printed circuit board, for electric connection in train and trolleys, etc. Tin coated copper wire has almost the same applications like the plain copper wires. The only difference is that the tin coating prevents the copper wire from eroding or oxidizing. Braided copper wires are used at the places where flexibility is required. It is used in the headphone cables, speaker wires, etc.

Uses of Copper Wire

Copper wires are used in a variety of applications. Following are some of the most common uses of copper wire which will help you to understand the necessity of this metal.

• Telecommunication

Earlier, copper was a major part of telecommunication as it was used in the telephone wires which were used on the telephone poles. But nowadays copper is replaced by fiber optics for better and faster transmission of signals. Still there are few places where copper wires are used in this industry.

• Electricity Supply

Supplying electricity to the house and delivering it to all the appliances is one of the major uses of copper wire. As the wires are ductile, they can be bent and can be very easily used where ever they are required. Copper is also a cheaper option than any other metal which can conduct proper electricity.

• Automobile Industry

Introduction of new technology has increased the demand of copper wires in the automobiles industry. It continues to increase at a rate of approximately 5% per year. Copper wires can be easily used in the automobiles because of their ability to bend easily. They have a high melting point hence, can be safely used in the places where the climate constantly changes.

• Jewelry

Copper wire is also used in jewelry. It is very famous among the people who like junk jewelry. It is also used as silver enameled copper wire which is used to replace sterling silver. As copper is resistant to tarnishing, the article made out of it can be used for a very long time.

• Other Uses

As copper wires have a superior sinking rate, they can be easily used in deep water fishing. Copper wires are also used in the PVC insulated cables which help in the underground transport system, electricity networks, etc.
