C18665 copper-magnesium alloy coil: high-reliability automotive electronics solutions and China's intelligent manufacturing advantages
Revolutionizing pre-tinning processes to empower next-generation electric transportation systems
In an era of rapid development of new energy vehicles and intelligent electrical devices, C18665 copper-magnesium alloy is becoming a core material for high-end connectors due to its comprehensive performance advantages. As a leader in pre-tinned copper alloy technology, our company provides an in-depth analysis of the properties and applications of this star material, showcasing the global competitiveness of China's supply chain.
Superior Performance: Redefining the Standard for Connector Materials
C18665 (CuMgP) achieves a breakthrough balance through precise magnesium-phosphorus ratio:
✅ Excellent conductivity and strength: while maintaining 80% IACS high conductivity, the tensile strength reaches over 500MPa
✅ Extreme environmental stability:
- Industry-leading stress relaxation resistance (100°C x 1000hr retention rate > 90%)
- Excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC)
- Million-level fatigue life guarantee
✅ Surface treatment adaptability: specially optimized for HOT DIP TIN (hot dip tinning) process to achieve:
- Ultra-low whisker risk (compliant with IEC 60068-2-82)
- Mirror-grade surface quality (Ra≤0.2μm)
- Lead-free solder compatibility
Disruptive Application of Pre-Tinned C18665
Through the pre-plating HOT DIP TIN process (plating layer 1.2-2.5μm), we provide:
1. Pre-plated C18665 (CuMgP) – 0.826mm × custom width
2. Pre-plated C18665 (CuMgP)R570 – 0.818mm × custom width
These ready-to-use materials are driving the electrification revolution in transportation:
High-voltage systems for e-mobility
- High-voltage terminals for electric vehicles/hybrid vehicles (600V+ ambient)
- Battery module connector, fuse terminal
- Charging pile busbars
High reliability electronic control unit
- Relay reed (anti-shock and vibration)
- Compact switch contacts
- Lithium battery protection board conductive parts
Intelligent power distribution system
- Intelligent circuit breaker contact spring
- Relay box high current carrying parts
- Photovoltaic junction box core conductor
Breakthrough of three major technical barriers of HOT DIP TIN process
The HOT DIP TIN technology we use achieves key breakthroughs:
1. Gradient coating control: Tin-iron alloy transition layer enhances bonding strength (>15N/mm)
2. Whisker suppression technology: 10-year zero-whisker guarantee through stress relief treatment
3. Reflow self-leveling: surface tension automatically repairs micro-defects after soldering
