1 ALLOY CONDUCTORS Alloy Conductors RoHS compliant alloy conductors were originally invented by Fisk Alloy. Continuously innovating, we now produce a family of high performance alloy conductors, PERCON. Alloy conductors combine copper as the major constituent with other elements to obtain an engineered set of properties. Our Percon alloy conductors balance several competing engineering attributes: breaking load, elongation, electrical resistivity, resistance to thermal softening, mechanical processing and cost. Each alloy is engineered for different applications and product specifications. Fisk provides a full range of alloy conductors either bare, gold, nickel, silver, or tin plated as stranded or bunched constructions, on bobbins or as single end wire in sizes as small as mm (56 AWG). Listed below is the current selection and properties of Percon alloy conductors. Fisk s technology in copper alloys stands ready to tailor required properties or develop new ones as you may find needed. Percon Alloys Percon HS95: A high strength, high conductivity conductor with 655 N/mm 2 strength and 63% IACS. Percon 28: Surpasses the performance requirements of ASTM B624 with 33% more strength, and the requirements for extra high strength conductor in SAE Percon 24: Engineered to meet the requirements of ASTM B624 and SAE Percon 19: Developed to have better performance than and to replace hard cadmium copper. Percon 17: Developed to have better performance than and to replace soft cadmium copper. Percon 15: An economical hard temper alloy when cost is the major consideration.

3 Alloy Wire Fisk Alloy specializes in copper alloy wire, manufacturing it in the shapes and sizes that customers specify with high precision, uniformity, and quality. ALLOY WIRE As an industry leader, Fisk Alloy has continuously developed innovative products and technologies for producing wire in copper alloys. Our processing capabilities range from 10 mm (0.400") to mm ( ", 56 AWG), bare or plated. With a staff of some 200 persons, Fisk manufactures wire to customer specification in the U.S. at our 14,000 m 2 Hawthorne, NJ facility. The long lead time necessary for casting specialty copper alloys requires that we keep a large and varied inventory of these alloys in rod and wire in stock at all times, so that we can respond quickly to market exigencies. Although copper alloys are our specialty we also work with other materials as requested by our customers. Listed below please find a summary of our general capabilities and stocked alloys. Shapes Flat: Thickness: 0.25 to 2.0 mm (0.010 to 0.079") Width: 0.38 to 6.35 mm (0.015 to 0.250") Rectangular: Thickness: 0.25 to 2.0 mm (0.010 to 0.079") Width: 0.25 to 5.0 mm (0.010 to 0.196") Round: to 10 mm ( to.400") Square: 0.25 to 2.0 mm (0.010 to 0.079") Special: Special profiles and sizes tooled and produced to order Surface Finishes Reel to reel electroplated processing of Copper, Gold, Nickel, Silver and Tin in single layers or in multi-layered combinations (e.g. Ni-Au) to specified thickness for each element. Fisk also produces an Advance Tin Barrier (ATB) plating system which reduces insertion forces and increases solderability shelf life.

4 Alloy Wire Tempers To specified tensile strengths from annealed to spring by separate or combined cold work processing and heat treating to temper. Packages 0.1 kg to 500 kg on a variety of coils, drums, reels and spools. Profiled Wire The term profiled wire is applied to any non-standard shape of wire. Rolled profiled wire can be produced in virtually any copper alloy. However, the cold working characteristics of the alloy have considerable impact on the plastic flow of the metal, the efficiency of the rolling process, and the final shape realized. Thus the economics of profiling vary by copper alloy. We would be pleased to help you select the optimal alloy for your needs; please contact us. High Performance Alloys To respond to a strong and increasing demand for miniaturized parts, Fisk Alloy offers a range of High Performance Copper Alloys, such as C18150, C18080, C19700, combining high conductivity of greater than 80% IACS, high tensile strength and superior stress relaxation resistance.

9 BlueBrass BlueBrass is a RoHS compliant, lead-free machinable copper alloy, bringing both economic and environmental benefits to precision machining by combining performance and regulatory compliance in a single solution. BlueBrass is a RoHS compliant, lead-free brass with good machinability, high strength, excellent ductility, and ease of recycling. Based on the copper-zinc alloy system and made from common alloying elements, lead is present only in a limited amount for compliance with a growing range of legislative and regulatory guidelines. BlueBrass is recommended for any RoHS compliant machined brass part, and is of particular interest where replacement of traditional leaded brass has proved difficult or impractical due to processing or end use requirements. PROFILED WIRE BlueBrass performance relies on a unique combination of composition and microstructure. This approach alleviates the need for substitution with elements such as silicon, bismuth, and sulfur all of which can have negative impact to recycling and product quality, requiring continuous and costly controls in use. Because of it s RoHS composition, BlueBrass chips can be safely added to the standard scrap stream without exception. This results in both economic and ecologic benefits throughout the supply chain. BlueBrass is flexible by design and having a dedicated development team, we can tailor the properties to your unique situation. BlueBrass 42e BLUE BRASS BlueBrass 42e is a member of the BlueBrass family of alloys, specifically targeted for all electronic products including connector components. When compared to traditional leaded brass, electrical conductivity and machining properties are comparable, while strength

10 BlueBrass and ductility are both markedly improved. The favorable ductility provides increased capacity for hot forming or secondary cold working operations. BlueBrass 42e is available in wire from 0.25 to 6.35 mm (0.010 to 0.250") diameter. Rod products are manufactured with diameters from 1 to 8 mm (0.039 to 0.315") and standard lengths of 3000 (118.1") or (144"). BlueBrass 42e is manufactured and distributed by Fisk Alloy in the USA, in partnership with Aurubis AG.
