Silver Plated Copper Clad Steel Description

Ulbrich CCS & SPCCS is a stronger alternative to pure copper while retaining desirable electrical properties. This material is ideal for applications where a stronger material is needed without the increase costs of some of the other “high-strength” copper alloys. A graph is included below showing the difference in tensile strength between pure copper, copper clad steel and high strength copper alloy round wires.
