We are a reliable source for many of your litz wire and crystal radio part needs. Since 2008, we've sold more than 19,000 orders with excellent customer feedback. Please visit our eBay Store at mkmak222_Litz Wire to see what is currently available.
We have over a hundred types of litz wire in stock. They contain 5 to 1650 strands of AWG 48 to 28 (0.03 mm to 0.31 mm) wire. The litz wire's equivalent AWG are from 24 to 6.
Most orders will be shipped within one day. Small amounts of wire will be coiled on 6” or 7” diameter paper spool to prevent the destruction of the litz wire structure. Larger amounts will be coiled on the original plastic spool.
Note: For avoid damage the structure of the small Litz wire, please observe photo “How to un-coil litz wire from the spool" on my eBay List.
When winding a coil, in order to smoothly un-coil the Litz wire from the paper spool, the simple method is: Vertically fix a 1/4-inch diameter screw rod on a flat plate, and then put paper spool into screw rod flat. When you pull out the litz wire from the paper spool, the paper spool can rotate freely on the screw rod, and the litz wire will not be twisted and knotted.
You only need an electrical solder iron to solder the litz wire. When you heat the end of litz wire, the polyester yarn insulation will be melted and recoiled, the polyurethane insulation that covers on copper strands wire will be completely volatilized, and the copper wire will be tinning.
If you don’t see a particular type of litz wire that you're interested in, please contact us so that we can help arrange a custom order. We can usually have these delivered in three weeks. Large orders may be purchased at the wholesale price.
Here you are bidding on a 200
feet spool of brand new 330/46 Litz wire. This type 2 litz
wire contains 330 strands of individually insulated AWG #46 (~ 0.04 mm)
enameled wires, equivalent to AWG #21 single wire. Its outer diameter is 1.22
mm.
This Litz wire was manufactured in China and is RoHs
compliant. It uses Polyester fiber for the outside insulation and Polyurethane insulating film for each copper
strand. It is very easy to solder with a simple 60 watt soldering
iron.
The recommended operating frequency for Litz wire with AWG 46 strands is 850 KHz to 1.4 MHz, best for make High Q Coil, trap, or loop antenna for Amateur radio and Crystal Radio.
The quality
of this Litz wire is almost the same as the US made Kerrigan-Lewis
wire, but the price is much lower.
Here are two
coils made from Kerrigan-Lewis brand Litz wire (left) and Xizi Litz brand wire (right). The coil forms are high-impact styrene water pipe adapter (bought from
local Home Depot Store). I compared two coils with my HP 4342A Q meter:
