Coil Terminology

Unifilar - A filar is one wire; therefore, a unifilar coil is wound with a single continuous wire.

Multifilar - Coils wound with more than one filar (wire) are called multifilar.

Left and Right Hand - Coils can be wound in either the left-hand or right-hand direction. The direction of wind may be important depending on the application.

Pitch - The distance from center to center of the wire in adjacent coils. It is common to measure the average pitch over ten coils.

Stiffness - The amount of flexibility in a coil. We can control the stiffness of the coil. To specify stiffness, indicate the distance “D” for a given height “H”.
