    Conductive Beryllium-Free 180 Copper Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Copper. Conductive Beryllium-Free 180 Copper Bars.
    As strong and conductive as 17510 beryllium copper, but without the need for special machining precautions because it's beryllium-free. 180 copper stands up to stress and repeated use. It's commonly made into studs, welding electrodes, switch components, and mold cavities.

    Highly Machinable 173 Beryllium Copper Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Copper. Highly Machinable 173 Beryllium Copper Rods.
    Combine high strength and machinability. Alloyed with lead, 173 beryllium copper forms small chips that won't clog your tools, making it a great choice for automated production lines. Often turned into bushings and fuse clips, it stays strong under recurring stress and resists wearing down over time.

    Conductive 17510 Beryllium Copper Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Copper. Conductive 17510 Beryllium Copper Bars.
    Balance high strength with conductivity. 17510 beryllium copper is turned into electrical parts that connect and disconnect repeatedly, such as relays and probe pins. Alloyed with beryllium and nickel, it’s even strong enough for welding dies, plunger tips, and injection-mold nozzles.

    EMI/RFI Shielding Gaskets

    These gaskets absorb electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) to prevent inaccurate signals, flickering displays, and other electrical problems. They compress to fill gaps and complete a grounding path around doors and access panels.
    Bulb Tubes
    Image of Product. Front orientation. EMI/RFI Shielding Gaskets. Bulb Tubes.
    Beryllium Copper—Beryllium copper gaskets withstand repeated compression and decompression over time, so they’re often used with doors that regularly open and close. They’re also known as fingerstock gaskets.
    Clip On—Install clip-on gaskets onto surfaces such as circuit board edges or enclosure door frames.
