Product Description
Silk-covered wire refers to an electromagnetic wire formed by wrapping one or two layers of natural or synthetic fibers over an enameled stranded wire. Common types include polyester fiber-covered wire, nylon fiber-covered wire, and self-bonding fiber-covered wire (acetone-bonded or hot-air bonded).
