Difference between tinned copper and pure copper electrical wire

When buying electric wire for house in the market, we often see all kinds of electrical wires and cables. The most troublesome is that the conductors of the wires are copper wires and tinned copper wires. Both of these wires are copper wire conductors. The most confusing I really don't know which one is better to choose. As a tinned copper electrical wire factory, JZD will tell you which one is better, tinned copper eletrical wire or copper electrical wire. Let's take a look.

As we all know, ordinary household electrical wires are better conductors of copper cores, so what is tinned copper? As the name implies, tinned copper conductor electrical wire refers to a thin layer of metal tin plated on the copper surface, which plays a certain role in the wire processing process.

THREE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEM

1. Tinned copper electrical wire for house wiring is mainly designed to reduce the oxidation of copper conductors exposed to the air, and a protective layer of tin quality is deliberately designed, because tin is also relatively soft, but the properties of tinned copper conductors are also relatively soft, in terms of electrical conductivity. It is also consistent with bare copper. Compared with bare copper conductors, tinned copper has stronger corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, which can greatly extend the service life of wires.

2. Tin plating of copper electrical wire can also prevent insulation from sticking, make the core black and brittle, and improve the solderability of the electrical wire during whole use period.

3. Tinned copper wires are suitable for electronic equipment manufacturing projects, because tinned copper conductors are more resistant to tossing and have anti-oxidation properties when they are semi-bare, which can increase the service life of electronic equipment. Although it is more complicated than the production process of ordinary bare copper conductor PVC insulated eletrical wires in the production industry, its quality and durability are also proportional.

Therefore, the tinned copper stranded wire for house wiring on the market is relatively advantageous, but its price is slightly more expensive, because the tinned copper wire factory has improved the process.

OTHER COMMON USED TINNED COPPER ELECTRICAL CABLES

Tinned copper conductors are mainly used for polyvinyl chloride insulated wires, silicone wires, and other PVC insulated flexible cables. H1Z2Z2-K photovoltaic cables and pv1-f photovoltaic cables we manufacture use the tinned copper conductors. Apart from solar power cable, the thhn stranded wire also is suitable for applying the tinned copper conductors, which has been purchased a lot from many countries, such as Philippines, Peru, Egypt.
