The copper alloy is CDA 110, otherwise known as Electrolytic Tough Pitch (ETP) copper. The individual strands are insulated with a single build solderable polyurethane enamel (NEMA MW79C) with a nominal thickness of 0.00008 inches. The litz wires are further insulated with braided cotton sleeving made using 16 carriers loaded with two end Tex 30 cotton thread.
Does that answer your questions?
