Electrical Applications of Platinum Wire

Thermocouples are popular tools in industrial and commercial applications, as well. Platinum wires are also a highly valuable component in semiconductor manufacturing, as platinum wire can be fabricated in ultra-fine varieties for increasingly small semiconductors with complex design structures.

Manufacturers use platinum wiring to grow crystal in ceramic capacitors and crucibles. Developing energy technologies and power storage solutions rely on platinum wiring for PEM fuel cells, catalysts, and more.

Some of the most common electrical components that make use of platinum wiring include:
