RE: Tinsel Conductors (Style T3270)

FACTS:

The merchandise at issue is one of several styles of electrical wire known in the trade as “tinsel conductors.” Electrical tinsel conductors are used primarily where low levels of current carrying capacity and flexibility are required.

A tinsel conductor is made by rolling a round wire into a flat ribbon. Then, one or more ribbons are closely spiraled around a textile material to make a tinsel strand. Several such strands may then be twisted together to form the completed tinsel conductor. The conductor materials commonly used for tinsel are CDA Alloy 110, which is copper, and CDA Alloy 162, which is 1% cadmium copper. Depending on the end application, the ribbon may be bare or electro-plated with silver or tin. Tin and silver facilitate soldering and silver serves as a barrier between copper or copper alloy and fluoropolymer and other insulations processed at temperatures above the melting point of tin.
