ENAMELLED, SPIKED & SPECIALITY COPPER WINDING WIRE
Applies to all Copper Wire Spools & Shanks.
2.0 mm Enamelled Copper Wire is supplied only in loose shank and 5 kg spool formats (not available in smaller spools due to risk of cracking during spooling)
Enamelled Copper Wire – Frequently Asked Questions
What is enamelled copper wire?
Enamelled copper wire, also known as magnet wire, is copper conductor coated with a thin enamel insulation. It is used for motors, transformers, coils and other electrical windings.
What is the difference between copper wire and magnet wire?
Standard copper wire is bare or PVC-insulated, while magnet wire has an enamel coating that allows it to be wound tightly without short-circuiting.
Is copper wire magnetic?
Pure copper is non-magnetic. The term “magnet wire” comes from its use in electromagnetic windings, not because the copper itself is magnetic.
What sizes are available?
We stock enamelled copper wire in trade-size spools (0.5–5 kg) and shanks (1–3 kg for diameters ≥2 mm). View spools or view shanks for full details.
Advanced Thermal Supplies stocks trade-size enamelled copper wire (also known as magnet wire) in 0.5–5 kg spools and 1–3 kg loose shanks (2 mm+).
