What we make
Tinsel wire, speaker lead wire, extremely fine copper foil, copper stranded wire and heating wire, plus conductors in special metals on request.
Who we serve
Cable and component makers building medical, robot, aerospace, charging pile, automotive, drag chain and consumer electronics cables.
What we solve
Your cable fails at the conductor, not at the jacket. We build the conductor so the finished cable meets several targets at once.
How we start
Custom resistance, diameter and plating, with samples and no minimum order quantity.
Product Range
Five conductor families, one engineering question: what does your cable have to survive?
Tinsel wire
Copper foil wound over a textile core, from 0.04 to 0.40 mm, for conductors that have to bend constantly without work hardening.
Speaker lead wire
Lead wire for the moving joint between voice coil and terminal, where the conductor swings every time the cone moves.
Copper stranded wire
Fine stranded copper built to a target resistance, outer diameter and tensile strength rather than to a nominal gauge.
Precision copper foil
Extremely fine copper foil, the same capability that makes the tinsel range, supplied as foil for customers who wind it themselves.
Heater wire
Resistance wire wound to a specified ohms per metre, for heated textiles, seats and equipment where the wire has to flex as well as warm.
The Numbers Behind the Factory
Industries We Supply
The industries that break conductors, and what each one breaks them with.
Medical and robot cables
Conductors for cables that move continuously for years, where a single broken strand ends the service life of the assembly.
Consumer audio
Speaker leads and headphone cords, where the conductor is the component that decides warranty return rate.
Automotive and charging
Conductors for charging pile cables, automotive circuits and heated components that live with vibration and temperature cycling.
Aerospace and special equipment
Conductors in special metals where weight, temperature or qualification requirements rule out ordinary copper strand.
Knowledge Centre
Engineering reference, not marketing copy, for cable engineers specifying a conductor.
What tinsel wire is, and why it outlasts solid wire where cables bend
Copper foil wound over a textile core moves the bending strain off the metal, which is why flex life is an order of magnitude different.
Choosing the fibre core: aramid, polyester and the alternatives
The core carries the tensile load and sets the flex life, which makes it a bigger decision than the copper wrapped around it.
Conductor metals and alloys: what we work in and when each applies
Copper is the default, and the alternatives are chosen for weight, temperature or a qualification requirement rather than for cost.
Plating fine conductors: tin, silver, nickel and why thickness matters
Plating is chosen for solderability, corrosion or temperature, and the thickness matters as much as the metal.
How we test a conductor before it ships
Resistance, diameter, tensile strength, swing life and solderability are checked together, because hitting one at the expense of another is not a pass.
How an Order Runs
Send the targets
Resistance, outer diameter, tensile strength, swing and solderability, stated together rather than one at a time.
Conductor designed
Foil width, lay, strand count and plating are chosen so the finished cable meets all of the targets at once.
Sample and verification
Samples are supplied with no minimum order quantity so the conductor can be proven in your own cable before volume.
Production on two shifts
Two shifts run without interruption, and the conductor keeps being iterated as the market moves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is tinsel wire and why use it?
Copper foil wound over a textile core. The core takes the bending strain and the copper follows it as a thin foil, so the conductor survives flex counts a drawn solid wire cannot approach.
Can you hit a resistance and a diameter at the same time?
That is the point of the tinsel construction. Because the copper is a foil rather than a drawn strand, foil width and lay can be traded against each other to hold both numbers, which a fixed gauge cannot do.
Is there a minimum order quantity for samples?
No. A conductor can only be judged inside a finished cable, so the sample has to come before the commitment rather than after it.
Can you supply conductors in metals other than copper?
Conductors in special metals are available on request, typically where weight, temperature or qualification requirements rule out ordinary copper strand.
