Those companies do not specialist in that sort of wire. He'll probably find generic transformer/magnet type enameled wire for sale at mouser/digikey/elfa, but not proper solderable enameled wire for rework. |

hm.. so you did. That's odd though, i thought the point of all magnet wire was for the enamel to be super resistant to heat. If it's for electromagnets or transformers or winding into a tight coil the last thing you want is heat causing the insulation to fail. So i'm surprised to see a product that has intended applications of Transformers, Inductors and Motors also say the words "Solderable without prior removal of the film" |

Not all transformers, solenoids, relays, motors, etc. are designed to run hot. Bear in mind that even the solderable one I linked to says it’s rated at “155C class” (which is higher than its standard says it should), and IMHO if your transformer is running at 150C, you’re really pushing things in most designs. Anyhow, looking at the part numbers, it turns out the “MW-28-C” isn’t a manufacturer part number, but an industry standard. And searching for it, I found the index to the NEMA standard document, which lists a whole bevy of solderable enameled wires: https://www.nema.org/Standards/ComplimentaryDocuments/ANSI_NEMA_MW1000-2016%20CONTENTS-AND-SCOPE.pdf Knowing the codes to look for should make it a LOT easier to search for such wire! |
