Ceramawire

MSI has recently acquired Ceramawire, a leading manufacturer of high temperature ceramic coated magnet wire.

Ceramawire has been a long-time supplier to MSI of wire for use in our High Temperature VR Sensors. Ceramawire's HT Wire is a high temperature magnet wire insulated with a fully cured (1400-1500°F) vitreous enamel film that is firmly bonded to the wire conductor and that assumes the same flexibility and temperature coefficient as the base wire. It is suitable for coil winding and lead wire applications in aerospace, nuclear, steam, chemical, and other high temperature applications. Operating temperature range is -450°F to 1000°F continuous, and up to 1500°F for shorter periods of time. There are also applications that have used the wire successfully to 2000°F.
