Overview

Percon 17 was developed to replace cadmium copper C162, specifically soft temper cadmium copper. This alloy is also available in hard temper.

Percon 17 is not engineered for conductors specifying ASTM B624. [See Percon 24 and Percon 28]. Percon 17 does not contain any cadmium or environmentally hazardous elements, and has excellent resistance to corrosive environments.

Percon 17 is available bare or plated with silver, nickel or tin.
