What is tinned copper wire?

copper wire that is coated with tin


What metal is used in electric fuse?

Fuses have tinned copper wire* in them.The normal current-carrying capacity of a fuse is determined by the thickness of the wire, as is the final rupture current.Because fuses "melt" like solder, some people think they must contain solder wire, but that is not true.Solder has a lower temperature melting point than either lead or tin but it is not used in fuses because it does not have as good a normal current-carrying capacity as tinned copper.* "Tinned copper wire" means the copper wire has been dipped in a bath of molten tin during its manufacture, leaving a thin coating of tin on the surface of the copper. (The tin is used to help protect the copper from corroding in the atmosphere.)


Is the silver speaker wire copper?

Yes; it is tinned copper.


Can you connect copper wires to tin coated copper wires?

Yes. You can twist them together and wire nut them, or solder them together.


What is the difference between a tinned wire and overcoat wire?

Overcoat: Individual strands of tin copper stranded together & then covered with a tin coating. Topcoat: Bare (untinned) copper wire, stranded, then coated with pure tin.


How do you solder copper to brass fittings?

Take either an SOS pad or a wire brush and rough up both the inside of the brass fitting and outside of copper pipe, put the copper pipe into the fitting and solder around it.


Why do you need to tin first the wire before soldering it?

pre tinning make it easier to solder wire because the solder is already " stuck" to the wire. and less solder will be needed to join the wire. if you watch the solder under a magnifier while tinning, you will notice the solder does not flow and "stick" until proper heat and flux ar applied. this heat usually is more than required to melt the solder because it takes mor heat to heat up the wire due to higher density. after tinning, less heat is required to melt the solder, and enough flux is usually left from tinning to quickly join the wire to the desired material provided the material is also tinned. this reduces cold solder and provides for a more relible connection. To tin the wire first is to cover the end of the wire with a layer of solder before you put it thru the hole in the PCB that will give you insurance of a proper electrical contact else you will put a heap of solder on the PCB without a proper contact with the wire itself what is called a dry joint that go for un tinted copper wire only normally all electronic component pins is factory tinted


How can a copper wire b silver on the outside?

Its probably not silver. Its probably tin plated to make it easier to solder.


What is the difference between stranded copper and tinseld copper wire?

bare copper is pure copper, while tinned copper is having light coating of Tin over it, preferred where soldering phenomenon is req. while the bare copper is good conductor then tinned copper.


Why is copper used in electricty?

Why is copper made into electric wire?

Copper is a very good conductor of electricity, and is easy to shape.


Which metal used in fuse wires?

Apparently mainly tinned copper is used in fuse wires. I have heard that there are a lot of other metals used as teh fuse wire though!
