Taped high frequency litz wire constructions are mainly suitable for applications requiring high break down voltage. Taping improves the capability to withstand flexing and mechanical stress. Adhesive taped litz wire can be achieved by using thermally sealed or self adhesive tape. This ensures protection against re-opening during and after manufacturing processes and thus secures the compliance with defined creepage distance.
Some tapes can be thermally sealed when used in conjunction with certain wire enamel types.
Excellent adhesion and bonding characteristics to the individual wires are possible. A wide range of thermally sealable tapes can be selected for special applications all promoting various degrees of flexibility and mechanical protection for the litz wire construction.
