Bare Nickel Plated Copper Wire

Bare Nickel Plated Copper Wire is a high-performance conductor that combines the superior electrical properties of copper with the enhanced corrosion, heat, and oxidation resistance of nickel. It is widely used in harsh environments and high-temperature applications, including aerospace, military, automotive, and industrial electronics.

Construction:

• Core: High-purity, annealed or hard-drawn copper wire

• Plating: A thin layer of nickel electroplated or coated over the copper

• Finish: Smooth, metallic surface with excellent solderability

Key Properties:

• ✅ Excellent Electrical Conductivity (Copper Core)

• ✅ High Temperature Resistance (up to 750°C for continuous use)

• ✅ Superior Oxidation & Corrosion Resistance

• ✅ Extended Shelf Life & Solderability

• ✅ Good Mechanical Strength

Types:

1. Soft Annealed Nickel Plated Wire

   • Flexible, easy to bend and wind

   • Ideal for coils, motor windings, and flexible leads

2. Hard-Drawn Nickel Plated Wire

   • Higher tensile strength

   • Suitable for structural or fixed wiring needs

Applications:

• Aerospace & Defense: Used in aircraft wiring, control systems, and sensors

• Automotive: Ideal for under-hood wiring, battery connections, and sensors

• Industrial Electronics: Found in high-temp heaters, transformers, and solenoids

• Telecommunications: Used in shielded cables and data transmission lines

• Medical Devices: In specialized tools and equipment requiring high conductivity and resistance

Benefits Over Bare Copper Wire:

Conclusion:

Bare Nickel Plated Copper Wire is the ideal solution for applications demanding durability, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance, without significantly sacrificing conductivity. Whether in high-end industrial systems or mission-critical aerospace electronics, it delivers long-term performance and reliability in the most demanding conditions.
