Abstract

Insulated winding wires, winding wire articles, and associated formation methods are described. An insulated winding wire may include a conductor and insulation formed around the conductor. In certain embodiments, the insulation may include a first layer including a first parylene material and a second layer including a second parylene material different from the first parylene material. In other embodiments, the insulation may include one or more layers containing parylene formed over base insulation.

Claims (33)

1. An insulated winding wire comprising:

a conductor; and

insulation formed around the conductor, the insulation comprising:

a first layer comprising a first parylene material; and

a second layer comprising a second parylene material different from the first parylene material.

2. The insulated winding wire of claim 1 , wherein the first parylene material comprises one of (i) parylene N, (ii) parylene C, (iii) parylene D, (iv) parylene HT, (v) parylene AF-4, (vi) parylene F, (vii) parylene A, (viii) parylene AM, (ix) parylene H, (x) parylene SR, (xi) parylene HR, (xii) parylene NR, (xiii) parylene CF, or (xiv) parylene SF.

3. The insulated winding wire of claim 1 , wherein the second parylene material comprises one of (i) parylene N, (ii) parylene C, (iii) parylene D, (iv) parylene HT, (v) parylene AF-4, (vi) parylene F, (vii) parylene A, (viii) parylene AM, (ix) parylene H, (x) parylene SR, (xi) parylene HR, (xii) parylene NR, (xiii) parylene CF, or (xiv) parylene SF.

4. The insulated winding wire of claim 1 , wherein the first parylene material comprises at least one of parylene N or parylene C and the second parylene material comprises at least one of parylene HT, parylene AF-4, parylene F.

5. The insulated winding wire of claim 1 , wherein each of, the first layer and the second layer comprises a respective thickness between approximately 0.5 μm and approximately 60 μm.

6. The insulated winding wire of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesion promoter positioned between the first layer and the second layer.

7. The insulated winding wire of claim 1 , wherein the insulation further comprises at least one base layer formed between the conductor and the first layer comprising a first parylene material.

8. The insulated winding wire of claim 7 , wherein the at least one base layer comprises at least one of (i) an enamel layer, (ii) an extruded thermoplastic layer, or (iii) a semi-conductive layer.

9. The insulated winding wire of claim 7 , wherein the at least one base layer comprises at least one of (i) a polyimide enamel layer, (ii) a polyamideimide enamel layer, or (iii) a first enamel layer comprising polyimide and a second enamel layer comprising polyamideimide.

10. The insulated winding wire of claim 7 , wherein the at least one base layer comprises an extruded thermoplastic layer, the extruded thermoplastic layer comprising at least one of (i) polyether-ether-ketone, (ii) polyaryletherketone, (iii) polyetheretherketoneketone, (iv) polyetherketoneketone, (V) polyetherketon (vi) polyetherketoneketoneetherketone, (vii) polyketone (“PK”), (viii) thermoplastic polyimide, (ix) aromatic polyamide, (x) aromatic polyester, or (xi) polyphenylene sulfide.

11. The insulated winding wire of claim 7 , wherein the at least one base layer comprises:

one or more enamel layers; and

an extruded thermoplastic layer formed around the one or more enamel layers.

12. An insulated winding wire comprising:

a conductor;

base insulation formed around the conductor, the base insulation having a thermal rating of at least 180° C.; and

at least one layer comprising a parylene material formed around the base insulation.

13. The insulated winding wire of claim 12 , wherein the first par material comprises one of (i) parylene N, (ii) parylene C, (iii) parylene D, (iv) parylene HT, (v) parylene AF-4, (vi) parylene F, (vii) parylene A, (viii) parylene AM, (ix) parylene H, (x) parylene SR, (xi) parylene HR, (xii) parylene NR, (xiii) parylene CF, or (xiv) parylene SF.

14. The insulated winding wire claim 12 , wherein the at least one layer comprising a parylenc material comprises a plurality of parylene-containing layers, each the plurality of layers comprising a respective parylene material.

15. The insulated winding wire of claim 14 , wherein a first of the plurality of parylene-containing layers comprises a first parylene material and a second of the plurality parylene-containing layers comprises a second parylene material different than the first parylene material.

16. The insulated winding wire of claim 14 , wherein the first parylene material comprises at least one of parylene N or parylene C and the second parylene material comprises at least one of parylene HT, parylene AF-4, or parylene F.

17. The insulated winding wire of claim 15 , further comprising an adhesion promoter positioned between the first and second parylene-containing layers.

18. The insulated winding wire of claim 12 , wherein the base insulation comprises at least one of (i) an enamel layer, (ii) an extruded thermoplastic layer, or (iii) a semi-conductive layer.

19. The insulated winding wire of claim 12 , wherein the base insulation comprises at least one of (i) a polyimide enamel layer, (ii) a polyamideimide enamel layer, or (iii) a first enamel layer comprising polyimide and a second enamel layer comprising polyamideimide.

20. The insulated winding wire of claim 12 , wherein the base insulation comprises an extruded thermoplastic layer, the extruded thermoplastic layer comprising at least one of (i) polyether-ether-ketone, (ii) polyaryletherketone, polyetheretherketoneketone, (iv) polyetherketoneketone, (v) polyetherketone, (vi) polyetherketoneketoneetherketone, (vii) polyketone (“PK”), (viii) thermoplastic polyimide, (ix) aromatic polyamide, (x) aromatic polyester, or (xi) polyphenylene sulfide.

21. The insulated winding wire of claim 12 , wherein the base insulation comprises:
