C12200 Copper Alloy is an alloy composed of pure copper with one or more other elements added to the base.
It is also known as Copper - Phosphorus and is commonly used as oxygen-free copper in the electrical industry.
Composition and content
C12200 oxygen-free copper contains more than 99.9% copper with a very small amount of phosphorus (0.015 - 0.040%).
Performance characteristics
High purity: usually up to 99.9% or more, it is oxygen-free copper, free of impurity oxygen.
Excellent electrical conductivity: has very high electrical conductivity, conductivity up to 85 - IACS.
It is an ideal conductive material, especially suitable for electrical and electronic applications.
Good moldability: good plasticity and workability, easy to cold work, hot work and welding and other treatments.
Good corrosion resistance: good corrosion resistance to general atmospheric and aqueous media, suitable for a variety of applications at room temperature.



Moderate strength: relatively low strength, but still sufficient to meet the needs of general conditions of use.
Good welding and cold bending properties: generally no tendency to hydrogenosis, can be processed and used in a reducing atmosphere, but should not be processed and used in an oxidizing atmosphere.
Good elasticity: good elasticity makes C12200 copper belt can be quickly restored to its original state after being subjected to external force, which is suitable for occasions requiring frequent bending or stretching.
Application fields
Electrical and electronic field: commonly used in the production of wires, cables, connectors, wires, automatic control valves, inflatable valves, automobile refueling connectors, automobile electronic connectors, sensors, relays, controllers, etc., but also for electronic and electrical springs, switches, connectors, lead frames, connectors, terminals, vibration tabs and so on.
Construction field: It can be used in some parts in construction, and can meet the needs of different scenarios in construction due to its good corrosion resistance and processability.
Transportation field: such as automotive components using C12200 Germany Wieland automotive copper tape, which plays a vital role in the automotive electrical system.
Industrial equipment field: used as gasoline or gas delivery pipe, drain pipe, condensate pipe, with tube, condenser, evaporator, heat exchanger and so on.
Product form
Mainly applied as tubes, but can also be supplied in the form of plates, strips, rods and wires.
