Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard brass alloys in high-temperature electrical applications where specific thermal conductivity is critical.Consult material datasheets to ensure the selected brass alloy meets the thermal and electrical conductivity requirements for high-temperature environments.
Improper surface preparation before electrical connections, leading to increased resistance or poor conductivity.Thoroughly clean and degrease the brass surface to remove any oxides, oils, or contaminants before making electrical connections.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Busbars and Connectors
