Alloy M25 increases tool life, resulting in less overall equipment down-time, and ultimately a lower total machining cost

Brush 60 provides a material solution for those designers dealing with the issues of contact reliability and end-of-life performance. Elevated temperatures from increased power requirements can result in stress relaxation and a decline in contact normal force as a result of exposure to elevated temperature for a prolonged period of time.

This degradation of contact force leads to an increase in contact resistance, greater signal distortion, higher impedance and signal propagation delay – all unacceptable conditions for optimized contact performance. Brush 60 exhibits outstanding stress relaxation characteristics, and are able to retain a higher normal force over the life of the connector.
