Double Cotton Covered Copper Wire

Magnetic copper wire is commonly used in applications requiring tightly wound insulated coils, such as transformers, motors, inductors, and electromagnets. DCC wire is a type of copper wire coated with a layer of cotton.

    Feature

    +

    Double Cotton Covered (DCC) Copper Wire features an additional layer of cotton insulation, enhancing its durability and resistance to environmental factors. The dual-layer cotton provides improved electrical insulation, reducing the risk of short circuits while offering moderate voltage resistance and heat tolerance. This structure helps protect the wire from moisture, dust, and wear, extending its lifespan.

      Application

      +

      DCC copper wire is widely used in vintage electronics restoration, musical instrument manufacturing, and antique lamp rewiring. Its classic appearance, combined with reliability and flexibility, makes it a preferred choice for applications requiring both aesthetic appeal and functional durability.
