C17200 Beryllium Copper for Switches and Relays in the Automotive Industry

NGK positions C17200 Beryllium Copper for switches and relays in the automotive industry. C17200, or CuBe2 / Berylco 25, is described by NGK as the reference beryllium copper alloy across strip, rod, wire and other forms. It reaches the highest mechanical strength and hardness of any copper alloy after age hardening while still offering good formability, fatigue strength and stress-relaxation resistance. Vehicle electrical systems use beryllium copper widely in switches, sensors and relay functions. For manufacturers, that means better reliability in service and fewer compromises during forming, machining or assembly.
