C110 Copper Properties and Uses
C110 copper properties make it one of the most widely used materials for electrical and industrial applications. Known for high conductivity and reliability, C110 copper is commonly selected when performance and consistency matter.
What is C110 Copper?
C110 copper, also known as Electrolytic Tough Pitch (ETP) copper, contains a minimum of 99.9% copper.
It is refined through an electrolytic process, resulting in high conductivity and consistent material performance.
C110 Copper Properties
Electrical conductivity: approximately 100% IACS
Thermal conductivity: high
Corrosion resistance: good in most environments
Ductility: easily formed and bent
Machinability: moderate
Density: 0.323 lb/in³
Melting point: approximately 1,981°F
These C110 copper properties make it ideal for applications requiring electrical and thermal efficiency.
When to Use C110 Copper
C110 copper is typically used when conductivity is the priority over strength.
Common use cases include:
High conductivity electrical systems
Heat transfer applications
Grounding and power distribution
Formed or bent components
If higher strength or wear resistance is required, bronze or brass alloys may be more appropriate.
Common Uses of C110 Copper
Electrical bus bars
Grounding systems
Connectors and terminals
Heat exchangers
Industrial equipment components
Architectural applications
C110 Copper Compared to Other Materials
