Product Overview
Copper C10100 (OFE) nuts are precision fasteners manufactured from Oxygen-Free Electronic (OFE) copper, designated as UNS C10100. This grade is renowned for its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as its high purity (minimum 99.99% Cu). C10100 nuts are produced in accordance with ASTM B187/B152 standards, ensuring optimal performance in critical electrical, vacuum, and cryogenic applications.
With virtually no oxygen content, Copper C10100 (OFE) nuts are free from embrittlement and hydrogen pickup, making them ideal for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems, semiconductor processing, and sensitive electronic assemblies where contamination and outgassing must be minimized.
