EFOLIT® Taped High Frequency Litz Wires

General

The EFOLIT product family represents a triple insulated taped litz wire design with VDE-certification for reinforced insulation, which is necessary to certify products for high voltage applications. Litz wire diameters up to 5.0 mm with temperature class F/155°C and H/180°C cover a wide range of operating temperatures for various power applications.

According to specification:

DIN EN 60950, annex U
DIN EN 62368, annex J
DIN EN 61558, annex K
DIN EN 60601, annex L

Features and benefits of EFOLIT® - litz wires

Constructions with self adhesive sPET, sPEN tape material allow very high break down voltages as well as high copper filling factor and flexibility. The requested long term high working voltage resistivity requires a very precise taping process assuring very small tolerances within one spool, one lot and different shipments. EFOLIT®-winding wires are optimized for high safety demands of coil constructions without or with reduced intermediate tape insulation, usually used for transformer designs aiming at simplified winding processes and reduction of dimension, weight and material.
