Smartbond Litz Wire

General

Products for multimedia applications are increasingly equipped with wireless charging devices. ELEKTRISOLA's Smartbond OSP18 has been developed to meet the needs of these specific charging systems. This self-bonding litz wire combines excellent bond strength with good windability, fast soldering, and very good hot air bonding characteristics.

The hot air bonding process is environmentally friendly compared to solvent bonding process, allows faster winding, and has potential for process automation. Very thin coils can be produced with Smartbond`s unique construction giving additional space for designers or to help to achieve miniaturization goals.
