Singlecore wire is a common type of electrical wire consisting of a single metallic conductor, unlike stranded wire, which is made up of multiple fine strands twisted together. Due to its simple structure, stable form, and high signal transmission efficiency, it is widely used in various electrical engineering and electronic equipment applications.
1. Definition
Singlecore wire refers to an electrical wire with only one continuous metallic conductor inside, serving as the path for current transmission. The outer layer is typically covered with an insulating material to prevent leakage, short circuits, and external environmental interference.
2. Common Materials
Conductor: Usually made of highpurity copper (bare copper or tinned copper), while aluminum is occasionally used to reduce cost or weight.
Insulation: Common materials include PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PE (polyethylene), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), and silicone, chosen according to temperature resistance, wear resistance, and chemical resistance requirements.
3. Main Features
Shape Stability: Maintains its form after bending with minimal springback, making it easy to fix during wiring.
High Transmission Efficiency: A single conductor reduces gaps compared to stranded wire, offering better conductivity for the same crosssectional area.
Lower Flex Fatigue Resistance: Repeated bending can cause metal fatigue and breakage, making it unsuitable for environments with continuous movement.
Easy Insulation Processing: The outer sheath is uniform, making stripping clean and reducing the risk of damaging the conductor.
4. Common Applications
• Building wiring (lighting circuits, fixed power lines)
• Internal connections in household appliances
• Internal boardtoboard connections in electronic devices
• Fixed installations in distribution cabinets and control panels
5. Recommended Wire Stripping Machine
For batch processing of singlecore wires, the WG8023 Fully Automatic Wire Stripping Machine is recommended:
• Wide Compatibility: Supports various singlecore wire insulation materials, including PVC, PE, and silicone.
• High Precision: Servodriven, with stripping length accuracy controlled within ±0.1mm.
• High Speed: Capable of continuous, efficient operation to meet mass production demands.
• Easy Operation: Programmable settings for quick switching between different wire diameters and lengths.
