In concentric strands, the individual wires are subject to an exact positioning around a core wire, which ensures an all-out uniform structure.
Applications
• Extrusion: thin-gauge coating with high-grade isolation materials
• 7-end strands are particularly suited for data cables with high frequencies of transmission
Particular benefits for our customers
• Uniform elongation of single wires
• Low tolerances, even in single wires (even outperforming ASTM)
Manufacturing range
• Materials: Cu-ETP1, Cu-OF1 and LEONI Histral® alloys
• Bare, tin-plated, nickel-plated, silver-plated
• Left-hand lay or right-hand lay
• Variation: soft annealed
• Single-wire diameter: ranging from Ø 0.05 mm to Ø 0.51 mm
• Cross-section: ranging from 0.02 mm2 to 630 mm2
Construction
7 ends = 1 + 6
19 ends = 1 + 6 + 12
37 ends = 1 + 6 + 12 + 18
etc.
More relevant details can be found in ASTM regulation B 354.
7-end and 19-end strands are the preferred choices for cables used in electronics. The precise positioning of the individual wires makes for a smooth and even surface as well as an unvarying diameter.
