Precision Stamped Terminal Processing Service

When it comes to Connector Terminal material, electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and cost form the pillar on which this choice is made. What materials are typically used for Connector Terminals? 1. Copper and copper alloys: Due to high electrical and mechanical conductivity, copper and its alloys; such as brass and phosphor bronze are the most common types of terminals. Alloyed copper by adding another metal component like zinc, tin, phosphor, etc so that it should increase its strength and also corrosion resistance. 2. Aluminum: Where low density and high electrical conductivity are essential materials such as aluminum or aluminum alloy are used. However, the mechanical strength and corrosion protection of Aluminum is lower than copper, so there will be a need to put in place protective layers for Aluminum in certain conditions. 3. Stainless Steel: Stainless steel terminals are preferred where there is a very high corrosion requirement such as in mar…
