Description
Constantan Alloy 6J40 Copper Nickel Foil with High Electrical Resistivity Low TCR and Excellent Corrosion Resistance for Precision Resistors

Constantan Alloy 6J40 Copper Nickel Foil / Ultra-thin Resistance Strip

Constantan 6J40 (also known as CuNi40, CuNi44, NC50, Eureka, Konstantan, or Cuprothal) is a copper-nickel precision resistance alloy containing approximately 40-44% nickel. It is characterized by high electrical resistivity, low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), and excellent corrosion resistance. The ultra-thin foil and strip forms are specifically designed for precision resistors, strain gauges, and shunt applications.
