Key Features
- Electrolytic-grade copper core, over 99.9% pure.
- Double cotton covering resists mechanical abrasion better than enamel.
- Natural fibre finish takes insulating varnish or wax.
- 100 g net, wound on a plastic spool.
- Supplied in common SWG gauges.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Conductor | Electrolytic-grade copper, >99.9% purity |
| Insulation | Double cotton covered (DCC) |
| Net weight | 100 g per spool |
| Gauge | Common SWG sizes |
| Finish | Natural fibre, compatible with insulating varnish and wax |
| Spool | High-impact polymer |
How It Is Used
The wire is wound onto a former or soft-iron core to build solenoids, electromagnets, inductors or simple transformer windings. The two cotton layers keep neighbouring turns apart, and the winding can be varnished or waxed if a firmer, sealed coil is wanted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the DCC Copper Wire (100gm) cotton covered instead of enamelled?
The two layers of cotton give a covering that stands up to mechanical abrasion better than enamel, and the fibre can be treated with insulating varnish or wax.
