What is BS EN 13604 - High conductivity copper about?
BS EN 13604 specifies the composition, property requirements including electrical properties and tolerances on dimensions and form of semiconductor devices, electronic and vacuum products in two copper grates Cu-OFE (CW009A) and Cu-PHCE (CW022A), in the form of wrought products, e.g. plate, sheet, strip, seamless tube, rod, bar, wire, profiles.
The sampling procedures, the methods of testing for verification of conformity to the requirements of BS EN 13604, and the delivery conditions are also specified. BS EN 13604 applies to the wrought copper products as delivered to the device manufacturer, i.e. for further fabrication.
Who is BS EN 13604 - High conductivity copper for?
The copper that is free from oxygen content is best suited for applications that require high ductility and conductivity. High conductivity copper is the best choice for electrical products. BS EN 13604 provides guidance on composition, mechanical properties, electrical properties, freedom from hydrogen embrittlement, scale adhesion, grain size, tolerances of dimensions and form, surface condition, mechanical, electrical, and other tests.
As a user of BS EN 13604, you can be ensured of technical requirements and characteristics of high conductivity copper. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 13604, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality semiconductor devices, electronic and vacuum products made from high conductivity copper. BS EN 13604 helps you to build consumer trust and confidence in the product. With BS EN 13604 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. BS EN 13604 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
