Litz wire is made up of individually-insulated strands of magnet wire that are twisted together in a specific pattern. This unique construction mitigates skin and/or proximity effects and lends to fewer losses in high frequency Apps. As such, Litz wire is ideal for switch-mode power supplies, high Q coils, and many other specialized Apps that require minimal losses at higher frequencies (e.g. aviation, medical, laboratory, and communication uses). The magnet wire used to construct this Litz wire is drawn to meet specific size requirements based on the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standards. Additionally, this wire meets the NEMA MW 80-C standard for operating temperature (155°C / 311°F) and insulation makeup.
