Beryllium Strip
Beryllium strip (or beryllium alloy strip) is a specialized metal ribbon used in applications requiring high performance. Beryllium is typically alloyed with copper (e.g., beryllium copper – CuBe), producing alloys that offer high strength, excellent electrical conductivity, and spring-like properties.
Applications of Beryllium Strip:
1. Electrical and Electronics Industry
• Contact springs (used in relays and switches)
• Connectors
• Battery springs
• EMI/RFI shielding strips (for electromagnetic interference protection)
• PCB (printed circuit board) interconnect components
2. Aerospace Industry
• Connectors and components requiring resistance to high temperature and vibration
• Precision springs and contact parts in aircraft systems
3. *utomotive Industry
• Springs and terminals used in sensors
• Contact components in airbag systems
4. Telecommunications
• Spring and strip elements in fiber optic systems and RF components
5. Medical Devices
• Springs and connectors used in precision instruments (e.g., pacemaker terminals)
6. Military and Defense Industry
• Specialized electronic systems requiring high durability and conductivity
Reasons for Choosing Beryllium Strips:
• High elasticity (behaves like spring steel)
• Excellent electrical and thermal conductivity
• Resistant to wear and corrosion
• Non-magnetic properties
