Electronics

Electrical conductivity - only exploited in the last few centuries - has probably had the greatest impact on modern civilization. At the start of the new millennium society and technology are being transformed so swiftly that our future life will look completely different from what it is today. With the wire products for the electronic industry Luvata makes it’s contribution on the path into the new millennium.

Electronics ensure that the world moves and comprehends – and also functions in the way that engineers and technicians have foreseen. Swift adjustments to market changes and investments in promising new production methods ensure that Luvata is always one step ahead of the high-technology markets.

Thanks to innovative solutions for constantly changing new application areas, Luvata can supply the wire products which are required for complex, but reliable, electronic systems. Luvata offers a wide array of wire solutions in various alloys and shapes for the electronic components used in the Computer, Audio-Video and Ballast industries.

Precision shaped, serrated wires are a Luvata specialty. The serrations on two or four surfaces of the wire improve retention in a plastic substrate, bobbin or terminal board, irrespective if the pin was inserted or “molded-in”. The serrations offer an additional advantage for they anchor the magnet wire-wrap; hence the winding tension is retained. Serrations are available with any wire profile.

Some major applications where Luvata Oxygen Free Copper semi finished products are widely used include: vacuum tubes for radio and TV transmitters, vacuum capacitors, vacuum interrupters, magnetrons, heat sinks, bases for semiconductors and substrates as well as targets and backing plates in sputtering devices.

For these applications Luvata Oxygen Free Copper offers very high electrical conductivity, ultra high purity, readiness for direct bonding with ceramics and glass as well as immunity to hydrogen embrittlement.
