High-Voltage Conductors

The benefits of aluminum, the connectivity of copper

Lose the weight

Electric vehicles have over 3X the copper content of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) equipped vehicles with a significant portion of the weight due to wire and cables.

When sized for equivalent ampacities, Copperweld’s suite of CCA conductors can reduce that weight up to 40% and optimize energy efficiencies of the entire architecture, generating less heat.

Our wire is available in both SAE and ISO wire sizes, bare or insulated. CCA wire is commonly available in 8mm² to 120mm² diameters, offered as annealed or hard-drawn, with 10% and 15% copper volumes. Copperweld offers a wide variety of reel sizes, material and options.

Copperweld Automotive Benefits

Strength & Resiliency

Copperweld CCS's high-carbon steel core provides strength, flexibility and the ability to stretch more than 15% — perfect for applications subject to repetitive motion.

Lightweight

The linear weight of our CCS is more than 10% lighter than solid copper which can help lower overall vehicle weight, save on freight expenses and improve the ease of installation.

Connectivity

Copperweld CCA provides the weight savings achievable with aluminum wiring while offering the added convenience of standard copper connection sytems.

Energy Efficient

Equivalently sized Copperweld CCA provides a larger cross-sectional area, resulting in overall operating temperatures, which can improve long-term reliability.

Corrosion Resistance

Appropriately insulated Copperweld CCS is perfectly suited for severe environmental conditions involving salt, water and typical under-hood contaminants.

Theft Deterrent

Reduce costly in-factory wire theft. Copperweld’s metallurgically bonded conductors have extremely low street value, making it unattractive to copper thieves.
