Copper clad aluminum wire (CCA) is manufactured using advanced cladding welding and drawing techniques. This process involves concentrically bonding copper strips to an aluminum core, creating a bimetallic conductor that combines the best properties of both metals.
The CCA wire offers superior electrical conductivity from its copper outer layer while maintaining the lightweight advantages of aluminum. This makes it an excellent choice for numerous electrical applications where both performance and weight considerations are important.
Compared to traditional solid copper wiring, CCA provides significant cost savings while maintaining good conductivity. The skin effect phenomenon ensures that high-frequency currents flow primarily through the copper outer layer, making it particularly suitable for RF applications.
Key advantages of our copper clad aluminum wire include:
1. Cost Efficiency: Achieves approximately 40% cost savings compared to pure copper while maintaining good conductivity.
2. Lightweight Construction: About 40% lighter than equivalent copper wire, facilitating easier handling and installation.
3. High Frequency Performance: Excellent for applications utilizing the skin effect, such as in CATV systems.
4. Material Synergy: The metallurgical bond between copper and aluminum ensures stable performance.
Our copper clad aluminum wire is available in various specifications to meet different application requirements. We offer customization options for diameter, copper percentage, and packaging to suit specific project needs.
