Frequently Asked Questions
Exploring the secrets of high-end conductor tech
What are the advantages of SCC compared to pure silver wire?
SCC retains the excellent surface conductivity and chemical stability of pure silver (especially in high-frequency applications), but at a fraction of the cost. Additionally, the copper core provides better mechanical strength than pure silver.
For what frequency applications is SCC primarily used?
Due to the skin effect, as frequency increases, current tends to flow on the conductor surface. Therefore, SCC is particularly suitable for high-frequency signal transmission from tens of MHz to GHz levels, where its performance is virtually identical to pure silver.
How much does silver layer thickness affect performance?
Silver layer thickness directly affects conductivity at high frequencies and oxidation resistance. We typically offer different silver thickness grades (e.g., 1.25µm, 6.1µm) based on international standards (like ASTM B298) to meet requirements of different frequency bands and environments.
Does SCC tarnish or oxidize easily?
Silver reacts with sulfur in the air to tarnish (sulfide), but this usually only affects appearance and has minimal impact on conductivity (silver oxide is still a good conductor). Compared to the severe oxidation of bare copper, SCC has much better chemical stability.
