Rubadue Wire Expands Litz Wire Offerings
Rubadue Wire, headquartered in Loveland, Colorado, has officially announced the enhancement of its Litz wire product line. This expansion introduces new tape-wrapped configurations utilizing polyester (PET) and polyimide (PI) insulation, catering to the evolving needs of design engineers in the power electronics sector.
Meeting Demand for Innovation
This addition reinforces Rubadue's commitment to providing high-frequency winding wire solutions that not only meet but also exceed the requirements of modern applications. Customers increasingly demand insulation materials that are flexible, space-efficient, and devoid of hazardous substances like PFAS. The newly engineered tape wrap configurations make the Litz wires safer and more amenable to tight coil designs while ensuring electrical integrity at higher temperatures.
Kyle Jenson, the Director of Business Development at Rubadue, emphasizes the significance of this expansion: "Tape wrapping provides our customers with additional resources in their design toolbox. It's a vital enhancement to our manufacturing capabilities, enabling engineers to select the most suitable insulation method tailored to their unique applications without compromising turnaround time or product quality. Moreover, the new insulation options accommodate Litz wires exceeding 8 AWG, broadening our service offerings."
Technological Advancements in Manufacturing
The launch of these tape-wrapped Litz wires is underpinned by the introduction of updated production equipment. This investment allows Rubadue to support larger conductor sizes and a more diverse array of configuration options, making their offerings ideal for sectors including e-Mobility, Aerospace, Defense, Medical Equipment, and Industrial Automation. As industries continue to advance, the ability to use custom wire configurations becomes increasingly vital.
Customized Solutions for Diverse Industries
The versatile applications of the newly introduced tape-wrapped Litz wire include:
- - e-Mobility: Essential for electric vehicle charging and equipment used in off-highway and agricultural vehicles.
- - Aerospace & Defense: Designed for high-reliability, lightweight power supply systems.
