Quality and environmental management LEONI quality management The high quality of LEONI products was and still is one of the most important factors behind the company‘s success. It receives special attention from us in the exactness with which we conduct our planning, testing and documenting. Without this attention we would be unable to satisfy the exceptionally high standards of our customers. The quality management at all the LEONI Wire and Cable locations throughout the world is certified as complying with ISO9001:2000; locations producing automotive cables are also certified according...

LEONI is conform to RoHS What does RoHS stand for? RoHS summarizes EU Directive 2002/95/EG that bans certain substances in production and processing of electrical and electronic equipment and components, as well as its respective implementation in national legislation. The EU standard was passed on 1 January 2003. This EU Directive was supposed to have been adopted in the national legislation of the EU member states by the end of 2004. Yet the situation in the individual countries differs. In Germany, the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act came into effect on 16 March 2005, which,...

Conductor materials The lion‘s share of our conductor material is copper (Cu). For the production of our wires we mainly use Cu-ETP 1 (oxygenic copper) and Cu-OF 1 oxygen-free copper for special applications (e.g. hydrogen resistance). In addition to pure copper we also process a variety of copper alloys for special applications. Extract from EN 1977 “Copper and copper alloys – raw wire made of copper” Symbol Melting point Oxygenic (tough-pitch) copper with an electrical conductance in the soft state of ≥58.58 m/Ωmm2 at 20 °C High-purity copper, largely free of elements which evaporate in...

Galvanic coatings The metal materials used for galvanically refined copper wires are tin, silver or nickel, depending on the requirements. Designation Density 7.29 g/cm Melting point 232 °C Criteria for use Good solderability Effective protection from corrosion Density 10.5 g/cm Melting point 960 °C Criteria for use High temperature resistance High conductance 3 Density 8.9 g/cm3 Melting point 1450 °C Criteria for use High resistance to corrosion and temperature Temperature limits for the use of conductor materials Directive CSA-C22.2 No. 210.2 assigns conductor materials to the following...
