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 1725 strands of AWG 48 to 28 (0.03 mm to 0.32 mm) wire. The litz
wire's equivalent AWG are from AWG 36 to AWG 4.
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.
Most orders will be shipped within one day. The small amount
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.
Here you are bidding on a 60
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:

word format “xxx/yy”. For example, if you are looking for 660 strands of AWG 38
litz wire, enter key word “660/38” to search (“660” is the number of strands, “38”
means the strands are used AWG 38 enameled wire)
