Copper Photochemical Etching

Microphoto’s photochemical etching services provide a flexible option for the manufacturing of prototypes and high-volume orders of copper components used in various industries.
Copper is a relatively soft and easy-to-cut material, however, it has the potential to be easily damaged during typical machining. 

Grades of Copper

Microphoto’s team of experts work with various copper alloys, including:

  • C110
  • C101/102 Oxygen Free Coppers
  • C220

Oxygen-free copper typically contains a higher chemical purity and is often used in the manufacturing of semiconductor components. Our experts are on hand to consult the ideal copper material for your application. 

Photo Etched Copper Applications

Known for it’s electrical and thermal conductivity, photo-etched copper products are often used for electrical connectors, metal enclosures for electrical circuits, circuit boards, EMI/RFI shielding and more. Additional applications for stamped copper components include:

• Lead frames
• Fuse links
• Injection mold inserts
• Electrical contacts
• Buss bars
EMI Shielding
• Washers
Gaskets
• Seals

Here at Microphoto, we use photochemical machining for custom etched copper components. Our photochemical machining process can maintain the same characteristics of the material such as structure, hardness, magnetic properties, and ductility.
