APPLICATION
Soderon®/180 magnet wire is designed for applicationsrequiring
both high thermal resistance and lowsoldering temperatures.
Soderon®/180 magnet wire consists of a solder-strippable
modified polyurethane film insulationover-coated with nylon.
Soderon®/180 is recommended but not limited to thefollowing
applications:
• Bobbin wound and paper section coils• Encapsulated and molded
coils• Small motor, armatures and field coils• Automotive coils and
solenoids• Toroidal coils• Specialty power transformers• Linear
motors• RF Coils

ENGINEERING HIGHLIGHTS
1. THERMAL CLASSIFICATIONSoderon®/180 magnet wire is Class 180
when measured inaccordance with the ASTM-D2307 test procedure.
Heatshock resistance exceeds 200˚C.
2. THERMOPLASTIC FLOWThermoplastic flow or cut-through
temperature ofSoderon®/180 magnet wire is in the 225°C plus range;
wellabove maximum process conditions found in molded coilwork,
trickle impregnation processes and standard pre-heatvarnish cycles
specified for normal Class 130, 155 and 180systems.
3. SOLDERABILITYSoderon®/180 magnet wire solder strips readily
andmuch more easily than MW 78 type products. It
soldersconsistently at temperatures as low as 390˚C.
4. WINDABILITYFlexibility and adhesion properties of the
Soderon®/180magnet wire film are more than adequate for all but the
mostsevere fine wire winding applications.
5. ELECTRICALSoderon®/180 magnet wire insulation exhibits
highdielectric strength retention under high humidity
conditions.
6. CHEMICALThe solvent resistant properties of Soderon®/180
aresuitable for most classes 105, 130, 155 and 180
varnishes,encapsulants, and treating resins. It has improved salt
waterresistance compared to other solderable wires.
