Copper Flat Bar 3/16″ x 2″ x 6″ C110 Solid Bar by YKS

Description

Product Overview

The YKS 3/16″ x 2″ x 6″ solid copper flat bar is a premium‑grade metal component engineered for precision and reliability. Constructed from 99.9% pure C110 copper, the bar offers exceptional electrical conductivity, making it a top choice for hobbyists and professionals who demand consistent performance in electronic and crafting applications. Its dimensions provide a versatile footprint that can be easily cut, bent, or machined to suit a broad spectrum of project requirements, from small‑scale prototypes to custom art installations.

Each bar undergoes a meticulous polishing process that yields a smooth, scratch‑free surface. This finish not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also reduces friction during handling and machining, allowing users to achieve clean cuts and precise bends with minimal tool wear. The high purity of the copper ensures superior corrosion resistance, even when exposed to humid or mildly aggressive environments, extending the lifespan of the finished product.

Technical specifications include a weight of 3.67 ounces, a density that balances sturdiness with ease of manipulation, and a tolerance that meets industry standards for raw metal stock. The bar is supplied in a compact packaging that protects the polished surface during transit, and each unit is marked with a model number (YKS-241109-ZTP) for easy inventory tracking.

Usage

Designed with the DIY community in mind, this copper flat bar excels in a variety of practical scenarios. Electricians and hobbyist engineers often select this bar for creating custom connectors, bus bars, and prototype circuit boards because its high conductivity reduces voltage drop and heat buildup. The material’s malleability allows for easy shaping into brackets, hooks, or decorative elements, making it a favorite among metal artists and jewelry makers who appreciate the warm, natural hue of pure copper.

In educational settings, the bar serves as an excellent teaching tool for demonstrating fundamental principles of conductivity, thermal management, and material science. Students can experiment with soldering, annealing, and surface finishing techniques, gaining hands‑on experience with a material that behaves predictably under a range of temperatures and mechanical stresses.

For hobbyist makers, the bar’s size is ideal for inclusion in small‑scale projects such as custom LED housings, battery terminals, and miniature mechanical assemblies. Its ability to retain shape after bending means that complex geometries can be formed without the need for additional reinforcement, simplifying the construction process and reducing overall part count.

Industrial applications also benefit from the bar’s durability. When used as a component in low‑voltage power distribution systems, the copper’s inherent resistance to oxidation ensures long‑term reliability, even in environments where moisture or mild chemicals are present. The bar can be integrated into heat‑sink designs, leveraging copper’s superior thermal conductivity to dissipate heat efficiently from electronic modules.

FAQ

What is the difference between C110 copper and other copper grades?

C110 copper is a high‑purity grade containing 99.9% copper with minimal alloying elements. This purity gives it superior electrical conductivity and thermal performance compared to lower‑grade alloys, which may contain higher percentages of zinc, tin, or other metals that reduce conductivity.

Can I anneal this copper bar to improve its formability?

Yes. Annealing the bar at temperatures between 600°F and 800°F (315°C‑425°C) will relieve internal stresses and increase ductility, making it easier to bend or shape without cracking. After annealing, allow the bar to cool slowly to maintain its structural integrity.

Is the copper bar suitable for soldering directly to electronic components?

The high purity of the bar makes it an excellent candidate for soldering. Use a lead‑free solder with a suitable flux to ensure a strong bond. The polished surface promotes good wetting, but cleaning the bar with isopropyl alcohol before soldering will improve results.

How should I store the copper bar to prevent oxidation?

Although C110 copper is highly resistant to corrosion, storing the bar in a dry environment and keeping it wrapped in anti‑static bags will further protect the surface from moisture and airborne contaminants. Avoid prolonged exposure to acidic or salty atmospheres.

What warranty does YKS provide for this copper flat bar?

YKS offers a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and dimensional inconsistencies. If the product does not meet the stated specifications, contact our support team for a replacement or refund, subject to verification of the issue.
