Types of Litz Wire

New England Wire Technologies is a pioneer and leading designer and manufacturer of Litz wire and specialty winding wire.

Litz wire consists of a number of individually insulated magnet wires twisted or braided into a uniform pattern with the primary benefit of reducing AC losses in high frequency windings. We offer all 9 types of Litz wire constructions with multiple varieties of insulation to meet agency and/or specific customer voltage withstand requirements.

Type 1 Litz Wire

Single film-insulated wire strand, twisted with optional outer insulation of textile yarn, tape or extruded compounds.


Type 2 Litz Wire

Bundles of Type 1 Litz wire twisted together with optional outer insulation of textile yarn, tape or extruded compounds.


Type 3 Litz Wire

Bundles of Type 2 insulated Litz wire twisted together with optional outer insulation of textile yarn, tape or extruded compounds.


Type 4 Litz Wire

Bundles of Type 2 Litz wire twisted around a central fiber core with optional outer insulation of textile yarn, tape or extruded compounds.


Type 5 Litz Wire

Insulated bundles of Type 2 Litz wire twisted around a fiber core with optional outer insulation of textile yarn, tape or extruded compounds.


Type 6 Litz Wire

Insulated bundles of Type 4 Litz wire twisted around a fiber core with optional outer insulation of textile yarn, tape or extruded compounds.


Type 7 Litz Wire

Film- insulated wire braided and formed into a rectangular profile with optional outer insulation of textile yarn, tape or extruded compounds.


Type 8 Litz Wire

Compacted film-insulated wires or groups of compacted film-insulated wires twisted and compressed into a rectangular profile with outer insulation of textile yarn, tape or extruded compounds.


Type 9 Litz Wire by New England Wire Technologies

Type 9 Litz Wire

Coax-style construction featuring a core constructed of Litz wire with transposed bundles, an insulation layer of controlled dielectric constant and thickness, an additional braid or coax-style conductor that matches the conductor area of the core conductor, with optional outer insulation of textile yarn, tape or extruded compounds.
