Product Overview

Palladium wire is a high-purity precious metal wire selected for applications that require hydrogen interaction, catalytic behavior, corrosion resistance, and stable electrical performance. Due to palladium’s strong interaction with hydrogen, Pd wire is widely used in hydrogen sensing research, hydrogen absorption/desorption experiments, catalyst studies, laboratory testing, and specialty electronic components.

MetalsTek supplies palladium wire in diameters from Ø0.02 mm to Ø3.00 mm, available as coils, spools, straight wire, and custom cut-to-length pieces. Custom diameter, purity, length, tolerance, surface condition, packaging, and documentation can be reviewed according to order requirements.

Ordering Notes for Palladium Wire

Palladium wire pricing depends on diameter, length, weight, purity, tolerance, form, and current precious metal cost. For accurate quotation, please provide the required diameter, total length or quantity, wire form, tolerance, surface condition, and certificate requirements.

For fine palladium wire, coil or spool packaging is recommended to reduce bending, kinking, and surface contamination during handling and shipment. For straight wire or cut-to-length pieces, please specify the required length, quantity, straightness, and packaging method.

If you only have a target weight or test quantity, MetalsTek can help calculate the approximate length based on the required wire diameter.

For custom diameter, tolerance, surface condition, or certificate requirements, please send your specifications for review.

Palladium Wire vs. Palladium Coated Copper Wire

Palladium wire and palladium coated copper wire are different materials. Pure palladium wire is made from palladium metal and is selected when palladium’s material properties are required. Palladium coated copper wire has a copper core with a palladium coating and is commonly used in electronic packaging and wire bonding applications. 

Note: Pure palladium wire should be selected when palladium’s hydrogen interaction, catalytic behavior, corrosion resistance, or precious metal properties are required. Palladium coated copper wire is mainly used when a copper-core bonding wire with a palladium coating is needed.
