Electronic connectors - Import export

Our highly specialized Spinodal materials are custom-engineered for electronic connectors and deliver major advantages in comparison to traditional materials such as Beryllium Copper (BeCu). We offer precision strip and wire products in alloy Pfinodal® (UNS C72900), a copper nickel tin Spinodal alloy, for the manufacturing of high performance electronic connectors in the electronics industry. Safe Alternative to Beryllium Copper (BeCu) Beryllium Copper (BeCu) materials are the historical choice for electronic connectors. Our high performance Pfinodal® (UNS C72900) delivers similar mechanical properties to Beryllium Copper but without the harmful exposure risks.

We offer two Spinodal alloy grades produced through the same wrought powder metallurgy as copper based products with nickel and tin additions. Our Pfinodal® (C72900) and AM 388® (C72650) spinodal materials deliver similar mechanical properties to Beryllium Copper alloy (C17200) but without the carcinogenic exposure risks. Advantages include: No carcinogenic elements - only copper/nickel/tin Ductile state and heat treatable Electrically conductive Reduced distortion during heat treatment Reduced stress relaxation Safe Alternative to Beryllium Copper (UNS C17200) Recently, Pfinodal® and AM-388® have been chosen as a replacement for Beryllium Copper due to the carcinogenic effects of Beryllium and fears of bans on Beryllium containing products due to REACH, RoHS, and OSHA mandates. Spinodal materials are gaining acceptance in new projects as well as legacy qualifications as manufacturers, OEMs, and consumers reject products

MP35N®-LTi is a nonmagnetic nickel-cobalt-chromiummolybdenum alloy that has excellent corrosion resistance, can obtain ultrahigh tensile strengths (300 ksi) through work hardening and aging, and has good toughness and ductility. Applications include electrical components, spring contacts, medical instruments, such as stents and implant electronic connectors, chemical, food processing and marine environments. After work hardening, MP35N® alloy can be aged in the temperature range of 800/1200°F for increased strength. MP35N® will only respond to aging if in the work hardened condition. Service temperatures up to 750°F are recommended for work hardened material. MP35N® can be successfully TIG welded. MP35N® is produced by double vacuum melting, and as such, has a low nonmetallic inclusion level. Available Sizes: MP35N®-LTi is available from Hamilton Precision Metals as strip product in thicknesses from 0.0005” to 0.030” (0.0127 mm to 0.762 mm) and widths

AM 388™ (UNS C72650) is a copper based Spinodal alloy with high conductivity and high strength. The material delivers outstanding performance for contacts in electronic connectors, sockets and switches. AM 388™ is accepted as a safe replacement material for Beryllium Copper alloy.
