A-4 Precious Metal Clad Tapes


Multi-layer, multi-strip tape available.Choice of widths and thicknesses in long lengths.
Tapes with precious metals laminated on base metals such as copper alloys. Multi-layer and multi-strip types are produced using our unique bonding techniques. These tapes provide considerable performance at low cost by using the minimum quantities of precious metals. Beryllium base tapes and filler metal clad materials are also provided to meet specifications.

Features
Available in a wide range of thicknesses, from 0.5 μm to 50% of total thickness.
High bonding strength allows a high degree of bending.
We supply a long tape with high precision finish.
