Tellurium copper busbars are rectangular, round or special-shaped conductive bars made by rolling or extruding tellurium copper alloys (such as C14500). They have high conductivity and excellent machining properties and are suitable for electrical connection scenarios that require precision machining, high current carrying or complex shapes.

15 Working daysTellurium copper is a copper alloy containing a small amount of tellurium (Te), usually between 0.4% and 0.7%. This alloy combines the excellent electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of copper with the easy cutting property of tellurium, and can meet the low temperature rise and high voltage arc resistance test at the application end, and is suitable for high-voltage DC relays, connectors, automotive terminals, etc.
