Products information

ZCCu-Zr alloy

Standard No.
CDA
C15150

Highly heat resistant copper alloy for lead frame with high conductivity of oxygen-free copper class

Positioning of Alloy

It is used for power semiconductors such as olead frames and heat sinks with copper alloys with the same conductivity as that of copper and excellent strength and heat resistance.

Main features

  1. Very good electric and thermal conductivity (conductivity%, IACS average)
  2. Excellent strength as compared with pure copper
  3. Excellent heat resistance
  4. Nonmagnetic
  5. Possible to process reflow-Sn plating with excellent surface quality and whisker resistance

Main applications
