Nickel-plated copper wire (NPC: Nickel-plated Copper wire)
Nickel-plated copper wire is a nickel layer that is concentrically plated on the copper core. It has excellent oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. It can prevent the copper wire from re-oxidizing and is degraded by surface oxidation. The coating reduces high frequency losses in high frequency applications. There are nickel-plated soft copper wire and nickel-plated hard copper wire. The diameter is from 0.10 mm to 2.0 mm, and the nickel plating layer is continuously and firmly attached to the surface of the conductor. Suitable for stranded wire, high temperature wire conductors and applications with high chemical requirements, high frequency applications, etc.
