A manufacturing method for a conductive substrate, with which a conductive substrate including a substrate and a conductive thin wire arranged on the substrate are manufactured, includes in the following order, a step 1 of forming a thin wire containing a metal on the substrate; a step 2 of bringing the thin wire into contact with a solution containing an organic acid; and a step 3 of subjecting the thin wire to a plating treatment to form a conductive thin wire.

Magnet wire including extruded insulation formed from a blend of different polymeric materials is described. A magnet wire may include a conductor and insulation formed around the conductor. The insulation may include at least one layer of extruded insulation formed from a blend of at least three different polymeric materials. A first polymeric material, such as polyetheretherketone, may have a thermal index above 250° C. Second and third polymeric materials, such as polyphenylsulfone and polyethersulfone, may have lower thermal indexes.

A high frequency transmission cable is matched with a circuit board. The circuit board is equipped with a conducting portion and a grounding portion. The high frequency transmission cable includes a conducting wire, a first insulating layer surrounding the conducting wire, an aluminum foil layer and a second insulating layer. The aluminum foil layer surrounds the first insulating layer. An outer surface of the aluminum foil layer is a conducting surface. The second insulating layer surrounds the aluminum foil layer. The second insulating layer surrounds the conducting surface of the aluminum foil layer. The conducting wire is connected with the conducting portion. The conducting surface of the aluminum foil layer is connected with the grounding portion, so that the high frequency transmission cable has a grounding effect.

The cable according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: one or a plurality of core members, each having a conductor and an insulation cover material covering the conductor; and a sheath layer covering the one or the plurality of core members. The sheath layer comprises an inner sheath layer, and an outer sheath layer covering the inner sheath layer. The inner sheath layer comprises a crosslinked very low density polyethylene. The main component of the outer sheath layer is polyurethane. Relative to 100 parts by mass of resin component in the inner sheath layer, the very low density polyethylene content is between 20 parts by mass and 100 parts by mass inclusive. The elastic modulus of the inner sheath layer at 25° C. is between 5 MPa and 30 MPa inclusive.

An object of the present invention is to provide an improved partial discharge-resistant electrical insulating resin composition that can inhibit deterioration of an insulator due to partial discharge. The partial discharge-resistant electrical insulating resin composition of the present invention comprises boehmite alumina and a resin.

The present disclosure provides insulated electrical conductors, e.g., wires, and methods for producing such insulated electrical conductors to combat partial discharge by enhancing bond strength between the electrical conductor and a base insulating thermoplastic layer (e.g., including a PAEK). Such insulated electrical conductors can include: an electrical conductor; an insulating coating on at least a portion of a surface of the electrical conductor; and an oxide layer between the electrical conductor and the insulating coating. Methods for producing such insulated electrical conductors can involve extrusion of an insulating polymer onto the electrical conductor under ambient atmosphere and a subsequent heat treatment step, which can also be conducted under ambient atmosphere.
