One of the best kind of copper wire: Tinsel Copper Wire

Tinsel Copper Wire

Copper wire is used as an electrical conductor in various kinds of electrical equipment. Copper wire is used in power transmission, power generation, telecommunications, power distribution, electronic circuitry and many more. The alloys of copper are also helpful in making electrical contacts.

There are many kinds of copper wires available in the market. Some of them are braided copper wire, bare copper wire, tin coated copper wire, tinsel copper wire, nickel copper wire, silver plated copper wire, plain copper wire and so on.

In this blog, we will discuss about one of the most used kinds of copper wire, Tinsel Copper Wire.

Tinsel Copper Wire is an electrical wire with low voltage. It is usually found in cables used for telephones, headphones and especially handset cords. Because of its ductility it is way more resistant to deterioration as a result of metal exhaustion than a normal copper wire.

Tinsel wire is also very productive when used in power cords for small electronic equipment like clocks or electric shavers, where normal cable conductors of sufficient mechanical size would be rigid. 

It is made by covering it with several threads of metal foil over a textile core or a ductile nylon. As the foil used for wrapping is thin and durable, it diminishes the probability of metal exhaustion. And not to forget the textile core gives strength and ductility to the wire.
