I. Product Introduction

C14500 tellurium bronze rod is based on a high-purity copper matrix, precisely alloyed with tellurium to retain copper’s inherent excellent electrical and thermal conductivity while significantly improving machinability and high-temperature stability. It offers an electrical conductivity of up to 85% IACS and a machining efficiency 1 to 2 times that of pure copper, with reduced tool sticking during turning operations, thereby greatly enhancing the cost-effectiveness of high-volume production.

II. Chemical Composition

Standards: DIN CuTeP/CW118C, UNS C14500.

Element	Content (%)	Remarks
Cu (incl. Ag)	≥ 99.9%	High purity and low impurity levels
Electrical conductivility IACS%(20℃)*	≥ 85% IACS	Excellent electrical properties
Grain size	Homogeneous, fine-grained, and custom-tailored.	Compatible with various machining and forming techniques.

III. Product Applications

1.New Energy Vehicles (NEVs): Ideal for connector terminals, charging pile/gun conductive components, starter motor contact plates, and electromagnetic switches. Specifically used as an anti-welding alloy for contact tips, it effectively minimizes welding and material transfer during switching operations, thereby significantly extending electrical contact life.
2.Power Electronics: Employed in plasma cutting machine nozzles, high-current connectors, and avionics connectors. Its high thermal conductivity and excellent high-temperature resistance ensure reliable performance under demanding operating conditions.
3.Telecommunications & Renewable Energy: Power modules for communication base stations and solar power station connectors also benefit from its stable electrical and thermal dissipation properties.
