High Conductivity and Higher Softening Resistance Copper Alloy KFC™

CDA No. 19210
Copper alloy with excellent softening resistance than C14415. (Cu-0.15%.Sn)

KFC™ has small amount of iron and phosphorus in chemical compositions, and is hardened by Fe2P precipitates in copper matrix.

Good Points

  1. Has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity.
  2. Has higher strength than pure copper and C14415.
  3. Has higher softening temperature above 400 degree, and higher than C14415.
  4. Has good bare bondability.
  5. Has good stamping formability and etching formability.
  6. Has good solderability and platability. It maybe reduce the protrusions by the silver plating.

Nominal Compositions

Cu-0.1Fe-0.03P (mass %)
