Copper Clad Aluminium Wire

Copper clad aluminum wire, commonly abbreviated as CCAW or CCA, is a conductor composed of an inner aluminum core and outer copper cladding, typically produced as a 10% or 15% by copper volume. The most commonly used Copper clad aluminium wire diameters are less than 5.00 millimetres and down to 0.10 mm.
 
The primary applications involve of this conductor revolve around weight reduction requirements. These applications include high-quality coils, such as the voice coils in headphones, portable loudspeakers or mobile coils; high frequency coaxial applications; such as RF antennas; CATV distribution cables; and power cables.
 
CCA was also used in mains cable for domestic and commercial premises. The copper/aluminium construction was adopted to avoid some of the problems with aluminium wire, yet retain some of the cost advantage. But, solid copper is most commonly used in internal residential 120v or 240v wiring in the US.
 
The properties of copper-clad aluminum wire include: Lighter than pure copper, higher conductivity and strength than pure aluminum, better solderability than aluminum, due to the lack of the oxide layer which prevents solder adhesion when soldering bare aluminum, cheaper than pure copper wire.
