Mention of the Electronics Industry usually creates visions of commonplace electronic gadgets such as cellular telephones, iPods®, Blackberrys®, DVD players, and other consumer convenience and entertainment devices. California Fine Wire Co. supplies wire for consumer electronics and many other lower profile, but in some cases more critical, applications. For example, special resistance wire is used in lasers, microwave components, and altimeter gauges for airplanes.

Virtually all electronic devices incorporate wire in some form as an indispensable component of the assembly. In the $250 billion semiconductor chip market, wire is only a small fraction of the component value, but integrated circuits are useless without bonding wire interconnects. The major interconnect materials used are gold, aluminum and copper.

In addition to the bonding wires, instruments incorporate many other types of wire materials, including nickel, resistance Wire, gold plated wire, tin plated wire, insulated wire, and stranded wire.

Some examples of the boundless uses for our wire are listed below:

  • Hearing Aids
  • Transducers (pressure, vibration, etc.)
  • Microwave Components
  • Lasers
  • Analytical Instruments
  • Aeronautical Instruments
  • Photoelectric Sensors
