High Strength and High Conductivity Copper Alloy KLF™ 170
Achiving high electrical conductivity equivalent to C19400 and high strength equivalent to 42 alloy
CDA No.19170
KLF™ 170 is a a precipitation-hardened copper alloy a precipitation-hardened copper alloy with fine nickel-phosphorus intermetallic compounds in the matrix, formed by adding nickel and phosphorus to copper. This product achieves both high strength and high electrical conductivity by adjusting nickel and phosphorus contents.

Features
- High electrical and thermal conductivity, and higher electrical conductivity than C19400
- High electrical conductivity while achieving high strength comparable to Alloy 42 (Temper ESH)
- Free of smut contamination during pre-plating process and etching process
- Excellent stamping formability and etching formability
- Excellent bondability for gold and copper wires
- Excellent solderability and platability, while rducing the occurence of protrusions in the silver plating
Applications
- DIP/SIP leadframes
- Inner-frame for heat spreader etc.
