Are you annoyed about struggling to find a satisfied silicone insulated wire supplier in China? This article will help you figure out the whole map of silicone insulated wire market and what a good supplier looks like.
Silicone insulated wire has the advantages of high temperature and low temperature resistance, excellent electrical insulation performance, excellent chemical stability, high voltage resistance, aging resistance, long service life. The use of environmentally friendly silicone rubber material as insulation material, silicone rubber soft and flame retardant performance is good, making the wire performance more superior. It has good acid resistance, alkali resistance, anti-fungal characteristics, can withstand hot and humid environment and a variety of grease, silicone insulated wire has the advantages of waterproof, pressure resistance and so on. Silicone insulated wire in electronic equipment, instruments and other large current applications more suitable for the characteristics of the product.
In china, there are nearly 100 manufacturer and other traders focus on manufacturing silicone insulated wire, many of them has long production experiences, for our buyer, how to find a reliable and trustful supplier is a tough problem in some way.
1. You need figure out the sourcing of silicone rubber materials, because if your supplier choose the bad quality rubber or silicone materials, that will lead to the bad effects. So if you can control the source of your products, that will be a perfect things.
2. Silicone insulated wires are famous for it's unique high temperature resistant performance, so you need confirm that if your supplier could give you a authoritative inspection report which can prove their silicone material has the qualified high temperature features.
3. To check if your supplier has the certification also is a very important factor you need notice. Authoritative certification prove that your supplier is permitted to produce and sell the silicone insulated wire you are purchasing, such as VDE, UL, TUV, SAA, CE, IEC all are the certification you can mention when you have a business negotiation with your supplier.
Silicone insulated wire is also known as silicone rubber wire (AGR), the industry is divided into high temperature wire, its low temperature resistance is also excellent, the temperature range is -60℃-200℃, if your supplier sent samples to you, perhaps below will help you to identify the quality of the sample a lot.
Identification method
1. Copper/tinned copper core identification
The more yellow it is, the less copper it contains. Brass is pure yellow, and copper is a little reddish
Cut it off with pliers and check the cross section to see if the color is consistent and if it's a copper-plated conductor.
Tinned copper core is mainly based on the copper to see whether the coating is uniform
2. Conductor wire diameter identification
Measure line diameter with vernier caliper
There are many conductor diameters, not to list one by one
3. Insulation layer identification
Amount of thickness
Because too much insulation usually means that the conductor diameter is not enough.
Poor quality insulation is liable to crack when bent
Finally, the more uniform insulation wrap the conductor, the more stable the wire making process is, the more durable such wire
Conversely, uneven insulation thickness is inferior product
AGR line is resistant to high temperature. Burn it with a lighter. The smaller the insulation layer reaction, the better the material.
Note: Silicone wire must be far away from sharp things, easy to scratch
4. Weight identification
Wire with good quality is generally inside meal cost of specified weight
0.5mm2 0.8-0.9 kg / 100 m
0.75mm2 1.0-1.2 kg / 100 m
1.3-1.5 kg / 100 m
If the weight is insufficient, either the length is insufficient or there is too much impurity in the conductor.
