Available in convenient 250cm and 50cm lengths to accommodate various experimental requirements without excessive waste. The wire’s smooth surface finish facilitates easy soldering and connection to terminals, while its high ductility allows for precise bending and shaping without fracturing. This grade of copper wire meets the exacting standards required for advanced research applications where material purity directly impacts experimental accuracy and reproducibility.
FAQs
1. What makes Puratronic™ grade copper wire different from standard copper wire?
The Puratronic™ designation indicates this wire meets ultra-high purity standards of 99.999% (metals basis) with oxygen-free properties, resulting in significantly lower resistivity and better performance in sensitive applications compared to standard grades.
2. Can this copper wire be used for high-frequency applications?
Yes, the oxygen-free composition and high purity make it particularly suitable for high-frequency applications where skin effect and signal integrity are critical factors.
3. What is the temperature rating for this copper wire?
This oxygen-free copper wire maintains its structural integrity and electrical properties up to 200°C in continuous operation, with short-term exposure tolerance to higher temperatures.
4. How should I store unused copper wire to maintain its properties?
Store in a dry, sealed container away from corrosive atmospheres to prevent surface oxidation that could affect conductivity over time.
5. Is this wire compatible with standard soldering techniques?
The wire’s high purity composition makes it compatible with all common soldering methods, though you may need to use slightly higher temperatures than with lower-grade copper due to its excellent thermal conductivity.
