Oxygen Free Copper Wire (OFC)
Purity level exceeding 99.9999%
Copper Conductor
Oxygen-free copper wire (OFC) is a high-purity material ideal for applications that require efficient conductivity and reliability. We offer two grades to suit different production needs: No. 1 oxygen-free copper (CU > 99.97%) and No. 2 oxygen-free copper (CU > 99.95%). These wires are available in diameters ranging from 0.02mm to 2.0mm and come in various configurations, including single wire, stranded wire, multi-strand wire ropes, and parallel multi-wires. To manufacture quality OFC wires, several processes are involved, including drawing, annealing, stranding, electroplating, and insulation. The high purity and precise processing of these wires ensure optimal performance in electrical and communication systems, making them a preferred choice for demanding applications.
- Used in electrical wires, cables, and electronic components such as printed circuit boards.
- Suitable for windings in electrical equipment, including generators and transformers.
