Product Overview
Copper C10100 (OFE) studs are high-purity, oxygen-free electronic copper fasteners manufactured from UNS C10100 bar or rod, conforming to ASTM B187 and ASTM F68. With a minimum copper content of 99.99% and extremely low oxygen (=0.0005%), these studs offer exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, making them the preferred choice for critical electrical, vacuum, and cryogenic applications.
OFE copper studs are non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant, and free from hydrogen embrittlement, ensuring reliable performance in high-vacuum, UHV, and high-purity process environments. They are widely specified for semiconductor fabrication, particle accelerators, and power transmission assemblies where maximum conductivity and purity are essential.
