Definitions

  • This invention relates to the manufacture of an electric transmission wire including a primary conductor wherein the characteristic impedance along the length of the wire is low, yet the wire is capable of being terminated using standard termination equipment.
  • This invention is particularly useful for solderless wrap connections to printed circuit boards or panels and for twisted wire and single wire interconnections.
  • transmission wire with a low impedance was not available for use with standard termination equipment.
  • a primary conductor with a diameter greater than 20 mils (0.508mm) had to be selected in order to achieve a low characteristic impedance.
  • Only a thin wall of insulation could be wrapped around the primary conductor without increasing the characteristic impedance. Since only a thin wall of insulation could be used, there was a poor cut-through resistance of this outer wall of insulation and there were other stripping difficulties.
  • an electric transmission wire comprising a primary conductor with a diameter of less than 20 mils (0.508mm) wrapped with at least one layer of material characterised in that said material comprises a conductive layer in continuous contact with the primary conductor, said primary conductor and wrapped conductive layer further wrapped with at least one layer of an insulating film such that the overall transmission wire maintains a characteristic impedance below 100 ohms.
  • the layer of conductive material which can be conductive foil or a conductive foil laminated to a substrate layer, is in contact with the primary conductor, the effective electrical diameter of the primary conductor is increased.
  • An outer layer of insulation may be applied over the foil and primary conductor.
  • the foil or foil laminate may be applied by either spiral wrapping or by longitudinal wrapping around the primary conductor. This invention provides a desired characteristic impedance along the length of the wire and allows easy removal for standard termination and increased cut-through resistance.
  • the effective electrical diameter of a primary conductor of less than 20 mils (0.508mm) diameter is increased by wrapping conductive foil, or conductive foil laminated to a substrate on to the primary conductor, the foil being in contact with the conductor. This may be accomplished by conventional wire wrapping techniques and equipment.
  • the primary conductor with conductive foil or laminate in contact with it is able to maintain a low characteristic impedance and still be compatible with standard termination equipment and printed circuit boards.
  • a thicker layer of outer insulation may be applied over the wrapped primary conductor and will not affect the characteristic impedance. This provides increased cut-through resistance. Conventional stripping equipment may be used with the wrapped wire and the thicker layer of outer insulation is easily removed for termination.
  • the invention also provides benefits for applications in state of the art electronic equipment.
  • the primary conductor with a diameter of less than 20 mils (0.508mm) is compatible with terminal and grid spacings of a printed circuit board having 0.025 square inch (0.16 sq.cm) terminal with grid spacing of 0.100 inch (0.254cm).
  • An inventive embodiment may be used either as a single insulated wire or two insulated wires may be twisted together and be used as a pair of twisted wires.
  • a conductive metal foil laminate consisting of a metal foil coating 2 on a laminar support 1 is spirally wrapped around a primary conductor 3 with the metal foil 2 facing into and in continuous contact with the primary conductor 3 and making electrical contact between the primary conductor 3 and foil 2.
  • the preferred metal foil laminate comprises aluminum foil bonded to polyester or polyimide base film 1 or aluminum foil bonded to a film of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene 1.
  • the primary conductor 3 may have a single wrapping of metal foil or it may have a plurality of wrappings, depending on the desired thickness of the wall, as depicted in Figure 1. Additional insulation 4, if required, is applied over the top of the metal foil laminate wrapping.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a twisted pair of insulated wires in which a conductive metal foil laminate, consisting of metal foil 12 on a laminar support 10, is spirally wrapped around each primary conductor 13 with the metal foil 12 facing the wires and in continuous contact with primary conductors 13 making electrical contact between the primary conductors 13 and the foil 12. Additional insulation 14, if required, is applied over the top of the metal foil laminate wrapping.
  • a conductive metal foil laminate consisting of metal foil 12 on a laminar support 10
  • Figure 2 also shows the initial diameter of the primary conductor 13 as being d1.
  • the effective electrical diameter is increased and is measured as d eff .
  • the primary conductor actual diameter d1 is also its effective electrical diameter.
  • Additional insulation 14 may be applied over the top of the metal foil laminate wrapping.
  • the total diameter of the conductor 13, wrapped conductive foil 12, support 10 and outer insulation covering 14 is measured as D.
  • the characteristic impedance Z is logarithmically related to the diameter of the insulated wire by the ratio D/d. Where the invention is used, the diameter of the primary conductor (d) is substituted by d eff . Thus, by using the invention, the characteristic impedance is reduced because the effective electrical diameter of the primary conductor is increased.
  • the additional insulation 14 may be a polyester film or polyimide based film insulation. This additional insulation may be applied by extrusion or by additional wrapping to a desired outside diameter. Cut-through resistance is increased by the addition of this insulation.
  • a single 28(l) AWG primary conductor of actual diameter 12.6 mils (0.32mm) was wrapped with three layers of aluminum foil laminated tape whereby the foil was in constant physical contact with the primary conductor.
  • An outer layer of polyester film insulation was applied over the primary conductor foil combination.
  • the final diameter of this embodiment was 19.6 mils (0.498mm).
  • the diameter of the primary conductor of 12.6 mils (0.32mm) was increased to an effective electrical diameter of 17.5 mils (0.445mm).
  • the characteristic impedance was maintained at 50 ohms and the resulting wire had a calculated D/d ratio of 1.13.
  • An insulated wire with an outer wall thickness of 0.75 mils (0.019mm) does not fit standard automated stripping machines.
  • the standard wire cutting equipment is not able to cut into, grab and pull off the outer wrapping without injury to the primary conductor. Further, a radius of curvature of 7.05 mils (0.179mm) does not meet conventional wire cut-through requirements.
  • the present invention provides a primary conductor with an increased electrical diameter and increased outer wall diameter and cut-through radius of curvature so that standard automated stripping machines could be used.
  • the D/d ratio was found to be 1.15 by referring to Figure 3.
  • Test data was accumulated and calculations made were similar to those as described in Example 1. Test results are summarised in Chart 2 shown below.
  • the inventive entity allows the impedance to remain at 55 ohms but the outer wall and cut-through radius are increased (by 39%) and can be used with existing wire stripping equipment.
  • a pair of 30(l) AWG primary conductors are individually wrapped with aluminum foil laminated tape so that the foil is in constant physical contact with each primary conductor.
  • the outer diameter D is 19.5 mils (0.495mm)
  • the effective electrical diameter d eff is 14.4 mils (0.366mm)
  • the ratio of D/d eff is found to be 1.31.
  • the wall thickness has been increased to add cut-through resistance without increasing the characteristic impedance in this invention. Further, the cut-through radius of curvature is increased by 43% and is easily compatible with existing stripping equipment.
