Stranded wire – stranded cable – stranded cable
In electrical engineering, stranded wire is an electrical conductor consisting of thin individual wires and is therefore easy to bend. Copper is predominantly used as a conductor in electrical cables. In technical terms, electrotechnical standards (e.g. IEC 60228 / VDE 0295) refer to these strands as “fine or very fine stranded conductors” to distinguish them from inflexible solid or stranded cores.
Thinly insulated stranded wires are also known as aerial stranded wires. In high-frequency stranded wires (HF stranded wires), the individual wires are insulated from each other by a layer of varnish, even though they have the same potential. This allows the influence of the skin effect to be reduced or avoided in high-frequency technology – otherwise only a small part of the total cross-section would participate in the current transport.
A desoldering braid is a braid of stranded wire pieces for the clean thermal release of solder joints (absorption of the liquid solder by capillary action). (Source Wikipedia)
