Supplier of Litz Wire and Enameled Copper Magnet Wire
I also sell Silver Plated Kynar Wire Here
I also have some PVC Insulated Hook Up Wire.
Over 128,000 foot sold since January, 2011.
Just arrived 42 AWG Litz Wire and new 40 AWG sizes.
We have a very large selection of Litz Wire For Sale. All sizes of the Litz Wire listed are in stock
Litz Wire applications include Crystal Radio Coils and Loop Antennas also can be used for other purposes like Tesla Coils, Inductors, Tonearms and Transformer Windings.
I have a large supply and variety of Litz Wire for sale all sizes listed are in stock and ready to be sold. Unlike some Litz Wire Suppliers that sell one or two sizes I have purchased a variety of different sizes in the 20, 26, 28, 34, 36, 38, 40, 41, 44 and 46 AWG range. But no matter how many sizes I stock there will some I do not. However if your application calls 185/46 Litz Wire you can always go up or down a notch and use the 175/46 or 220/46 or if you need 165/46 then 175/46 may work in your application as well.
Litz wire is specified like this, the first number is number of strands, the number after the "/" is the AWG wire gauge size. So 175/46 for instance is 175 strands of number 46 AWG gauge wires. The approxmate diameter in the chart is the over all diameter of the entire bundle of wires.
Each and every copper wire in all the Litz wire is Enameled coated. So each strand acts like an individual wire conductor.
Make sure you know what you are buying, there are no returns or refunds on wire sales, all sales are final.
For volume users of Litz Wire I have whole full spools
of most sizes in stock that can be quoted based on the weight.
If you need a special size of Litz Wire I can give a quote from the
supplier. It usually takes around 45-60 days for a special order delivery.
Payment must be paid in advance, and is none refundable. Minimum quote for
any size is 10Kg (22 pounds).
Low price Litz Wire is manufactured by Xizi unless noted and is of very good quality, it has been compared to most major manufacturers by others an is found to be equal to or some say better than any of them the only big difference is the price.
I have no way to test the "Q" of the Litz wire so I sent some out and had it tested here is the results for the 660/44 Litz Wire.
Here are his specifications on the coil and the "Q" results:
42 turns
on a styrene 4.5" coil form--with 10" pigtails, that's about 51.1 feet of wire
(the coil measured 172 uH):
200Khz --- 680 Q
300Khz ---- 890 Q
400Khz --- 1050 Q
500Khz --- 1160 Q
600Khz --- 1268 Q
700Khz --- 1270 Q
800Khz --- 1240 Q
900Khz --- 1200 Q
1200Khz --- 1030 Q
1400Khz --- 905 Q
1600Khz --- 770 Q
1700Khz --- 683 Q
I am sure the smaller sizes will have lower "Q" but this gives a good idea of the quality of the wire in general.
Another user of my Litz Wire stated that it winds very well and solders easily. The Litz Wire can be soldered with a soldering iron. He tested the "Q" of the 100/46 Litz Wire he purchased with a TS-617C/U Q-Meter it has a maximum range of 750 and the "Q" was higher than the meter range of 750. I do not know the test parameters however again just showing the Litz Wire is of good quality the low price does not mean low quality.
All the Litz Wire information was supplied free by users and they were not paid for there "Q" results.
All the Litz Wire specifications below are approximate taken from a manufacturers data sheet and not actual measurement.
Recommended frequencies for various Litz Wire sizes Litz-Wire-Frequency.pdf
If you need any more Litz Wire information send me an email before you purchase.
I have added a calculator to figure out the inductance of a coil by entering the coil diameter, wire diameter and number of turns. Also a calculator for resonate frequency of a parallel Coil and Capacitor
Looking for ready made very high "Q" Crystal Radio Coils at very reasonable cost? Then this website has the largest variety of Litz wound Diamond-weave High "Q" Crystal Radio Coils from simple to very complex designs I know of. Also custom Litz Wire coils made to your specifications.

PVC Insulated Hook Up Wire
Solid Single Conductor 24 Awg PVC Covered Wire Tin Plated
If you are making an Oat Box Crystal Radio then this is the wire you need for the coil and can be used for the antenna as well.

I have only one color and type for now. For those interested it is UL1061 rated 300 volts. Overall diameter .045.
________________________________________________________________________________
Solid Single Conductor 20 Awg PVC Covered Wire No Tin Plating

This wire is rated 300-500 volts no UL rating. None tinned Hook Up Wire.
This wire is not good for the Oat Box Crystal radio or other coils with a high wire turn count due to it large overall diameter. May be good for Short Wave Coils the PVC insulation will give a even spacing between the coil windings. May also be ok for Loop Antennas and antenna wire.
The overall diameter of the wire is .087. I have only two colors White and Black.
Sold in Multiple's of 10 ft. Maximum length per color is 320 ft. Sold per 10 ft. in one continous length. Do not put over 32 in the quantity box in the shopping cart as 320 ft. is the maximum continous length I can supply.
Part # 20AWG-500V-XX-10 --- 20 Awg PVC Covered Hook Up Wire 300-500 volts Per 10 ft. Price $1.98
