Low Tin Phosphorus Bronze for Terminals and Connectors KLF™-5
CDA No. 50715
Good bend-formability, spring limit and electrical conductivity for Terminals and Connectors.
The KLF™-5 has small amount of iron, phosphorus and tin in chemical compositions, and is low tin Phosphorous Bronze produced with hot rolled process. Hardened by Fe2 precipitates in copper matrix and has good electrical conductivity in comparison to normal Phosphorous Bronze. KLF™-5 is the improvement low tin Phosphorous Bronze of low cost.
Good Points
- Has good softening resistance. It is 100 degree higher than phosphorous bronze in stress relaxation.
- Has good electrical and thermal conductivity. It is 40 to 50% higher than brass or phosphorous bronze.
- Has good strength and equipment of phosphorous bronze.
- Has good solderability and platability.
- Has good stress corrosion cracking resistance and is better than phosphorous bronze.
Nominal Compositions
