MOFC-HRHigh-strength and heat-resistant oxygen-free copper

MOFC-HR is an oxygen-free copper with strength and heat resistance enhanced to the world’s highest level, suitable for heat dissipating, high current electronic devices and conductors for EV, data center, AI and next generation energy applications. It is also a replacement material for copper alloys with low electrical conductivity.

Positioning of Alloy

It has the electrical and thermal conductivity of oxygen-free copper (C10200) with high strength, superior heat resistance, stress relaxation resistance and blanking workability.

Main features

  1. Equivalent electrical and thermal conductivity as C10200.
  2. Higher strength and blanking workability compared to C10200, available in EH and SH temper.
  3. High heat resistance applicable for high temperature environment.
  4. Superior stress relaxation resistance property offering high reliability.
  5. The above characteristics enable cost reductions through material savings, as well as miniaturization and weight reductions.

Main applications

High voltage terminals for automobiles, power module components, data center heat dissipation components, relays, busbars, lead frames, charging connectors, battery tab leads, heat sinks, heat spreaders, cold plates, vapor chamber
