Electrical wires and cables made from copper are designed to conduct electric currents. Depending on the application, you may require either bare copper or tinned copper conductors. SUNKEAN offerscthat provide top-notch performance in various industries and applications.

The sole purpose of wires and cables is to conduct electricity from one point to another, but if the cable starts to corrode, it can quickly break down and cause performance loss. While bare copper is fairly resistant to corrosion, bare copper wire is more susceptible to oxidation over time than tinned copper wire. Oxidation can lead to electrical degradation and failure of the cable, but tinned copper conductors protect against moisture and contamination. accelerated corrosion in the environment.

Copper is one of the best conductors of electricity, second only to silver. These are several other benefits of bare copper wires:

• High thermal conductivity
• Good ductility and malleability
• High strength
• Creep resistance
• High melting point
• Long-term durability
• Good solderability
• Resistance to damage while handling a large amount of electricity

Bare copper and tinned copper wires are equally conductive, but the latter provides robust protection against corrosion and oxidation. Here are some other benefits of tinned copper wires:

• Corrosion resistance, especially in wet or saltwater environments
• Extended cable life
• Easy solderability

In terms of physical properties, bare copper wire is soft and has excellent electrical conductivity; compared with bare copper wire, tinned copper has good electrical conductivity, stronger corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, which can greatly extend the service life of weak current cables.

When considering bare or tinned copper, the environment should be a determining factor in the wire selection process. Tinned copper not only protects against oxidation and corrosion.
