Weilly Diamond Industrial from
Taiwan has specialised in high
quality PCD shaped dies for almost
twenty years.
Weilly Diamond’s controlled die
geometry and excellent polishing of
PCD shaped dies have developed a
customer base spreading through
America and Europe.
In addition to regular shaped dies,
such as square, rectangular, hex-
agonal, triangular and trapezoid,
Weilly Diamond offers irregular PCD
shapes to individual customer
designs.
The demand for thin rectangular
PCD shaped dies has grown for
PV ribbon, which is an important
part for solar cell.
The thinnest PCD dies are available
from Weilly Diamond.

Alpha Wire Company has extended its
Xtra-Guard® product range with the
addition of flexible motor supply cables.
The latest addition will complement the
existing, high-performance, variable
frequency drive (VFD) product line and is
designed for motor and drive
applications requiring small outer
diameter, flexibility and ease of handling
as well as superior EMI/RFI shielding
options using the company’s
Suprashield®.
Smaller, more flexible and less expensive
than the VFD cables, the new motor
supply range features a round geometry
to facilitate environmental sealing, while
the symmetrical design improves the
electrical performance allowing the
cable to exhibit uniform bending
characteristics.
The cables employ Alpha’s Suprashield®
and have PVC nylon tape, four
symmetrical drain wires and a specially
formulated oil-resistant PVC jacket for
extreme durability in the most
demanding of environments.
As part of the Xtra-Guard range the
motor supply cables incorporate
Xtra-Guard’s hazard matched, extreme
performance characteristics with an
operating temperature range of –20°C to
+90°C for static applications. The cables
are available in gauge sizes from
16 AWG to 6 AWG.
The new range is RoHS compliant, and
meets the required safety and
installation ratings, including:
UL Standard 1277, Type TC-ER, •
90°C, 600
UL Oil Res I •
UL Exposed Run (-ER) •
CSA AWM I A/B II A/B •
UL Standard 1063, Type MTW, •
90°C, 600 Volt
CSA FT4 Flame test •
UL Direct burial •
UL 1581 Vertical tray flame test •
UL Sunlight resistant •
“Typically the new motor supply range
will be used for AC drives and servo
motors in applications such as medical
or robotic,” commented Dave Watson,
director of engineering at Alpha Wire
Company.
