What factors will affect the electrical conductivity of wire and cable?

The conductivity of wires and cables refers to the stability and reliability of electrical signals when they are transmitted in wires and cables. In the actual production and use process, there are many factors that affect the electrical conductivity of wires and cables. The following editor will analyze the main factors.

1.Material factor

The electrical conductivity of wires and cables is closely related to the electrical conductivity of materials, and the selection of materials with excellent electrical conductivity can effectively improve the transmission efficiency of wires and cables.

(1) Metal materials: The metal materials used in wires and cables mainly include copper and aluminum, which have high electrical conductivity. In contrast, copper has better electrical conductivity.

(2) Insulating material: The insulating material of the wire and cable also affects the electrical conductivity. High-quality insulating material can improve the insulation performance of the wire and cable, thereby ensuring the stability of signal transmission.

2.Wire diameter factor

The wire diameter of the wire and cable will also directly affect the electrical conductivity. In general, the thicker the wire diameter, the stronger the anti-interference ability and the higher the transmission efficiency. However, in different specific scenarios, it is more important to choose the wire and cable with the appropriate wire diameter. It’s not that the thicker the better.

3.Contact factor

The conductivity of the wire and cable is also related to the contact performance of the circuit. Poor contact will lead to attenuation and interference of signal transmission, which will affect the stability and reliability of the entire circuit. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the wires and cables are in good contact and use high-quality terminals and plugs.

4.Envirnmental factor

Environmental factors are also important factors that lead to the decline in the electrical conductivity of wires and cables. Harsh environments such as high temperature and humidity will damage the insulation layer and conductor of the wire and cable, thus affecting the transmission efficiency. Therefore, when selecting wires and cables, the corresponding wires and cables should be selected according to the different application environments.
