Product Description

Nickel Plated Copper Clad Steel (Ni-Plated CCS) wire is a composite wire product made by plating a layer of nickel onto a copper-clad steel core. The steel core provides strength and durability, while the copper coating allows for good conductivity, and the nickel plating offers enhanced resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and wear. This combination of materials makes Ni-Plated CCS wire ideal for applications requiring both high mechanical strength and good electrical conductivity, especially in harsh environmental conditions.

Key Features & Advantages

Enhanced Durability:

The nickel plating provides superior resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and environmental degradation, making the wire suitable for outdoor and high-humidity applications.

Cost-Effective:

The use of copper-clad steel reduces the cost of the wire compared to solid copper wire while maintaining good conductivity.

Superior Strength:

The steel core imparts high tensile strength, ensuring the wire can withstand mechanical stress, making it ideal for high-tension applications.

Good Electrical Conductivity:

Copper provides excellent electrical conductivity, while the nickel plating does not significantly reduce conductivity.

Resistant to Wear:

The nickel coating offers improved resistance to wear and tear, especially in applications where the wire is exposed to mechanical friction or abrasion.

Low Signal Loss:

The wire's construction ensures minimal signal loss, making it suitable for data transmission and telecommunications.


Applications

Aerospace & Aviation

Used in aircraft wiring, due to its resistance to corrosion and oxidation, as well as its high strength-to-weight ratio.

Telecommunications

Employed in communication lines, fiber optic cable reinforcements, and antenna wiring, where both strength and conductivity are required.

Automotive Industry:

Used in automotive electronics, where wires must endure harsh environmental conditions while maintaining electrical performance.

Energy & Power

Applied in power transmission systems, including high-tension power lines and transformers, due to its durability and conductivity.

Industrial Equipment

Ideal for industrial applications where cables are subjected to mechanical stress, moisture, and other environmental challenges.

Military & Defense

Often used in military-grade wiring and electronics, where performance and reliability are critical in demanding conditions.

Wind and Solar Energy Systems

Utilized in renewable energy systems for their robustness and longevity in outdoor applications.
