Litz wire with 0.2 mm strand — 40 standard constructions

This series has 40 standard constructions with a copper cross-section from 0.5 to 20.1 mm². A 0.2 mm strand is optimal up to 25 kHz — at these frequencies the litz wire delivers the highest winding Q factor by minimizing the skin and proximity effects. For higher-frequency tasks you move to a 0.15 mm strand; for lower frequencies, 0.25 mm. All constructions are manufactured by DIADA LLC (Diada-Electro) to TU 27.32.11-019-59596873-2025 and are available in 50+ insulation grades — from PTFE and polyimide to rectangular forming.

How to choose a construction for your task

Three parameters drive the choice: frequency (sets the strand diameter), current (sets the copper cross-section), and temperature and environment (set the insulation grade). We work backwards: frequency first — it unambiguously narrows the series.

1. By frequency → strand diameter

The copper skin depth falls as frequency rises. Once it becomes comparable to the strand radius, a thicker strand stops helping — you need a thinner one.

FrequencyStrand diameter
up to 15 kHz0.25 mm
up to 25 kHz0.2 mm
up to 50 kHz0.15 mm
up to 100 kHz0.1 mm
up to 200 kHz0.071 mm
above 200 kHz0.05 mm (made to order)

This series — 0.2 mm, up to 25 kHz.

2. By current → copper cross-section

For transformer and inductor windings, a typical current density is 3–5 A/mm² (depending on the cooling regime and the allowable temperature rise).

Operating currentCross-section
2–3 A0.5 mm²
4–6 A1 mm²
7–10 A2 mm²
15–20 A4 mm²
30–40 A8 mm²
60–80 A16 mm²

For an accurate calculation, account for the waveform (sine / PWM / pulse) — it sets the RMS value and the losses.

3. By environment → insulation grade

Once the cross-section is set, you choose the grade — it determines the operating temperature, chemical resistance, breakdown voltage and cross-section shape.

  • PTFE (Ф) — up to 180 °C, chemical-resistant, HF
  • Polyimide (ПИ) — up to 300 °C, high loads
  • PP/A — domestic induction, low cost
  • 200 series — up to 200 °C without PTFE
  • Rectangular (Пр) — +20% winding fill

Frequently asked questions

How does litz wire with a 0.2 mm strand differ from 0.25 mm?
The thinner the strand, the more effective the litz wire is at high frequencies — because the skin effect is reduced. A 0.2 mm strand is optimal for frequencies up to 25 kHz. For higher frequencies you move to 0.15 mm. For lower frequencies, 0.25 mm is preferable on cost and manufacturability.
What frequencies can you realistically run with a 0.2 mm strand?
The effective range is up to 25 kHz. These are the frequencies at which the copper skin depth is comparable to the strand radius, and a further increase in frequency no longer improves the Q factor. For frequencies beyond this range we recommend a thinner strand.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum order depends on the construction and the insulation grade. Typically from 0.5 km for standard items. Ask our engineers — we will send a quote with the exact lead time.
Are these constructions in stock?
Standard items are often in stock. The rest are made to order — production lead time from 7 working days. Availability and lead time are confirmed at quotation.
Which technical specification (TU) do you manufacture to?
TU 27.32.11-019-59596873-2025, developed and registered by DIADA LLC (Diada-Electro). The full TU package is provided on request — submit an enquiry or contact our engineers.
Can you make a non-standard construction?
Yes — strands of 0.05 / 0.12 / 0.224 / 0.315 / 0.355 / 0.4 / 0.5 mm and other cross-sections. We manufacture to the customer's specification. Send your requirements via the "Request a quote" form.
