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.
• - Medical Equipment: Best suited for custom power supplies needed in imaging and diagnostic systems.
• - Industrial Automation: Optimal for robotics and welding systems requiring precision and reliability.

Commitment to Environmental Responsibility

Rubadue remains at the forefront of environmental stewardship, ensuring all tape wrap materials possess PFAS-free and non-halogenated properties. This commitment helps clients adhere to increasingly stringent environmental regulations and expectations. With enhanced dielectric strength, these wires ensure safety in high-voltage applications, coupled with thin insulation that maximizes the fill factor in compact designs.

Domestic Production Meets Global Demand

Rubadue operates a U.S.-based manufacturing facility that guarantees a reliable, right-shored supply chain and shorter lead times for its customers. To support international clients, Rubadue offers seamless service through a well-established supply network, promising a robust response to market needs. "When performance is paramount, Rubadue is the trusted name that engineers turn to, reflected in our commitment to quality and technical excellence," shares Jenson.
