High Strength and Good Formability Copper Alloy CAC™ 60

CDA No. 64760
High strength, Excellent stress relaxation resistance and Good bend formability.

Good Points

  1. Has higher strength than 580MPa, and can use for small terminals easily.
  2. Has excellent bend formability in comparison to other Cu-Ni-Si alloys. Offers flexibility in designing for terminals and connectors.
  3. Has excellent stress relaxation resistance. Applicable to SAE class 4.
  4. Has 44% IACS in electrical conductivity. It maybe suitable for the parts of higher current.
