Beryllium copper is comprised of copper alloy and 0.5-3% beryllium which makes it highly ductile, an excellent conductor of electrical current, and abrasion resistant material. Beryllium Copper is a known carcinogen when the dust that can be caused by traditional machining processes is inhaled. This is not an inherent hazard with our photochemical machining process. We specialize in high precision and tolerance beryllium copper parts used in various electrics applications.
The Beryllium Copper grades we work with include:
Known for its mechanical and electrical properties, photo-etched beryllium copper parts are often used for electrical connectors, metal enclosures for electrical circuits, circuit boards, EMI/RFI shielding, and other components that require shielding effectiveness over a broad frequency range. Additional components made of beryllium copper include:
• Electrical contacts
• Buss bars
• EMI Shielding
• Washers
• Gaskets
