NKC4419 ― High Conductivity Corson Alloy

High Conductivity Corson Alloy
NKC4419 (UNS Alloy No. C64800)

Overview

Recent years have witnessed demand for copper alloy materials with higher electrical conductivity and excellent spring properties. Such materials can control the temperature rise from current flowing in connectors as they become more compact and current values increase. We developed the high conductivity Corson alloy NKC4419 to meet such demand. Along with high conductivity, it has excellent spring properties, bend formability, and thermal resistance. It is ideal for use where connectors for in-vehicle electronics, consumer electronics, or information devices must withstand particularly high current.

Features

  1. 1.High electrical conductivity 65% IACS: higher conductivity than conventional Corson alloys
  2. 2.High Yield strength of 650 MPa
  3. 3.Excellent bend formability (MBR/t = Minimum bend radius/Thickness = H material: 0.7, 1/4H material: 0.0 bad way)
  4. 4.Excellent stress relaxation resistance (stress relaxation rate 23% at 150℃, 1,000 hours)
