LW Determination of Winding Tension
Litz Wire
Determination of Winding Tension on Litz Wire
The following table shows the maximum applicable winding tension on the single litz wire strands. The maximum feasible winding tension for litz wires can be calculated by multiplying the number of single strands by the appropriate winding tension of the single strand. Regardless of this calculation, for litz wire diameters thicker than 5 mm tension limits of (420N) for hard metals and (270N) for copper and soft metals are recommended.
These values are guidelines and can deviate significantly depending on the manufacturing process.

Connection Technologies for Litz Wires
Due to the many stranded nature of litz wires, terminating them often poses a challenge. The following table advises the connection technologies which are generally applicable for various insulations. Only the most important factors of influence have been classified. Many others, such as enamel type and insulation thickness of the single strands, heat resistance of the additional insulation, the stranding construction (tight/compact or wide/flexible), have not been addressed.

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.
Features and benefits of Smartbond litz wires
- excellent bonding strengths with hot air bonding
- high winding speed
- solderable without pre-stripping of insulation
- environmentally friendly automated process due to elimination of solvents
- thin walled overcoat allows small coils
- customized wall thickness possible per customer specification

LW Served
Served Litz Wire
General
High frequency litz wire served with natural silk, polyester, or nylon is characterized by increased dimensional stability and mechanical protection. The optimized serving tension ensures high flexibility and splicing- or spring up prevention during the process of cutting the litz wire. This splicing effect can cause handing and contacting of the wire ends more difficult in post processing.
Features and benefits of served litz wires
- Additional protection against mechanical stress
- Excellent dimensional and physical stability
- High flexibility
- Splicing prevention
- Good solderability above temperatures of 410 °C
- Improved impregnation
- Optimization of winding capacity
- Serving material allows optimization of insulation distances

LW With Strain Relief
Litz Wire with Strain Relief
General
Some of the ultrafine litz wires are impacted by high mechanical forces during further processing and over their lifetime. Litz wire constructions starting from an available single conductor diameter of 0.01 mm (AWG 58) can be designed implementing strain reliefs to improve the resistivity of the litz wire against tensile stress. It is typically used in applications where litz wire is used not wound in a coil, but used like a cable.
Features and benefits of litz wires with strain
- Excellent increase of tensile strength and flex life performance
- Different strain relief materials can be selected for individual applications
- Protection of super fine litz wires against mechanical stress
- Strain reliefs can be used in all other litz wire constructions
