Speaker lead wire
Lead wire for the moving joint between voice coil and terminal, where the conductor swings every time the cone moves.
A speaker lead is one of the hardest-working conductors in consumer electronics: it swings at audio frequency for the whole life of the driver. Failures show up as an intermittent channel long before the wire visibly breaks, which makes swing life the specification that matters.

| Options | Specified to swing life and solderability |
Typical Applications
- Loudspeaker drivers
- Headphone and earphone drivers

Tinsel wire
Copper foil wound over a textile core, from 0.04 to 0.40 mm, for conductors that have to bend constantly without work hardening.
Copper stranded wire
Fine stranded copper built to a target resistance, outer diameter and tensile strength rather than to a nominal gauge.
Precision copper foil
Extremely fine copper foil, the same capability that makes the tinsel range, supplied as foil for customers who wind it themselves.
