Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a flexible electric cable with a tinned stranded conductor on which insulation is applied at a high temperature. Previous diffusion of tin in the copper of the conductor strands makes it possible to prevent the strands from blocking together while the insulation is being formed at a temperature higher than the melting point of tin, while still leaving a final layer of pure tin at the surface of these conductor strands. Application to manufacture of aircraft cables.
