Overview
Percon 19 is a cadmium free copper alloy developed to replace cadmium copper C162.
Percon 19 has been engineered to be hard drawn for high strength and high flex life, exceeding the performance of cadmium copper, with its greater and more uniform flex life. Percon 19 also possesses excellent resistance to corrosive environments, and does not contain and cadmium or environmentally hazardous elements.
Percon 19 is available hard drawn bare or plated with silver, nickel or tin.
