Product Description
PKW-2/240 – PEEK Insulated Round Wire for High-Temperature & High-Voltage Applications
|
Insulation: PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) | Thermal Class: 240°C | Profile: Round | Grade: Grade 2 |
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer recognized as one of the most advanced insulating materials available. PEEK round wire combines exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation properties, making it suitable for applications in new energy vehicles, aerospace, industrial motors, and high-voltage systems.
CHINGCUNG offers PEEK insulated round wires with a continuous operating temperature rating of 240°C (up to 260°C intermittent). The insulation is applied via a single-layer extrusion process, delivering superior concentricity, higher partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV), and greater reliability compared to traditional multi-layer enameled wires.
