Overview
Braiding and Conductor Wire At A Glance
Four wire grades that cover the practical trade-off in cable shielding and stranding: conductivity, tensile strength, weight, flexibility and solderability. CCS is the strongest, CCA the cheapest conductor, CCAM the best compromise for high-flex work, and Al-Mg the lightest — but not solderable. All four are supplied in 0.12, 0.18 and 0.20 mm on ABS reels sized for automatic braiders.

What This Category Is Actually For
- Copper price volatility hits fixed-price contracts.
- Wire breaks stop the braider and create splice defects.
- Solderability and conductivity requirements are often discovered after the wire is chosen.
Who Buys It
- Braiding shops shielding coax and data cable
- Stranded conductor producers
- Speaker and automotive cable makers

FAQ
Braiding and Conductor Wire Questions
Which wire has the highest conductivity?
CCA at approximately 60 percent IACS, with CCAM close behind at 55 to 65 percent. CCS is lowest at 20 to 40 percent.
Which wire is strongest?
CCS, because of its steel core, though it has poor flexibility.
Which wire cannot be soldered?
Al-Mg, because the surface is bare aluminium. The three copper-clad grades all solder normally.
What reel sizes are supplied?
ABS reels of φ200 to 250 mm, holding 2 to 5 kg for 0.12 mm wire and 5 to 10 kg for 0.18 and 0.20 mm.
