What is C194?
C194 Copper-Iron Alloy Wire (CuFe2P) Alloy C194 is a first generation high performance alloy used worldwide. C194 combines good electrical conductivity with high tensile strength, good solderability and plateability. Applications include connectors, semiconductor pins and leadframes, sockets and mass terminations.
What is CuFe2?
CuFe2 is a material exhibiting high electrical conductivity and good formability. During an annealing process Fe-rich precipitations are formed in the ” -Cu matrix which change the mechanical properties very little but increase the electrical conductivity significantly.
