Warming your assets

Conductors for heated seats applications are designed to have much higher resistance than traditional solid copper conductors. This “resistance” is then used to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy in the form of “heat."

Copperweld CCS conductors provide significant benefits over typical copper alloys in tensile and break-load strength, making them the perfect choice for applications that involve stretching, bending, beating, heat and humidity. Copperweld’s CCS resistance wire is available in hard drawn or annealed at 21%, 30% and 40% conductivities to allow you to tailor the wire to fit your specific application.

Lightweight

The linear weight of our CCS is more than 10% lighter than solid copper which can help lower overall vehicle weight, save on freight expenses and improve the ease of installation.

Energy Efficient

Equivalently sized Copperweld CCA provides a larger cross-sectional area, resulting in overall operating temperatures, which can improve long-term reliability.
