What Kind of Copper Material is Most Suitable for Connectors

Connectors are very important accessories in electrical equipment, and the quality of connectors directly affects the reliability and performance of the entire circuit. Therefore, when choosing connectors, it is also very important to choose suitable copper materials. So, what kind of copper material is most suitable for connectors?

First of all, phosphor bronze strip is a copper material with a copper content of up to 99.9%. It has good conductivity and thermal conductivity. Its strength is slightly higher than that of electrolytic copper, and it also has good fatigue resistance. In an environment with a temperature not exceeding 100°C, it has strong corrosion resistance. Therefore, phosphor bronze strip is commonly used to manufacture connectors that need to withstand high current, such as RF connectors, aviation connectors, automotive electronic connectors, etc.

On the other hand, tin phosphor bronze strip is a copper alloy material with a tin content of about 5-8%. Compared with phosphor bronze strip, it has excellent strength, hardness, and wear resistance. At the same time, tin phosphor bronze strip also has good corrosion resistance and can be used in relatively harsh environments. Due to its higher hardness than phosphor bronze strip, it is often used to manufacture connectors that need to be wear-resistant and durable, such as machine tool connectors.

Comparing the two materials, the conductivity of phosphor bronze strip is superior to tin phosphor bronze strip. However, tin phosphor bronze strip has higher hardness, strength, and wear resistance than phosphor bronze strip. Therefore, according to different needs, the choice can be made based on specific application scenarios.

In summary, phosphor bronze strip and tin phosphor bronze strip are both commonly used materials for manufacturing electronic connectors. When choosing, it is necessary to consider factors such as the operating environment of the connector, the required conductivity, as well as fixing force and connection stability.

Jintian Copper is a key domestic copper material manufacturer. Its C11000 high-purity copper strip has excellent conductivity, which can not only meet the conductivity requirements of electrical connectors, but also has great advantages in terms of the processing performance and cost control of the connectors themselves. In addition, Jintian Copper can also provide customers with precision copper material processing services according to their specific needs, customizing copper materials of different specifications, shapes, and lengths to meet different application requirements.

The C11000 copper strip produced by Jintian Copper has not only good conductivity, but also great advantages in terms of oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and bending processing. Therefore, Jintian Copper's copper materials have been widely used in the field of electrical connectors.
