C17460 provides a material solution for those designers dealing with the issues of contact reliability and end-of-life performance.
Elevated temperatures from increased power requirements can result in stress relaxation and a decline in contact normal force as a result of exposure to elevated temperature for a prolonged period of time.
This degradation of contact force leads to an increase in contact resistance, greater signal distortion, higher impedance and signal propagation delay – all unacceptable conditions for optimized contact performance.
C17460 exhibits outstanding stress relaxation characteristics, and are able to retain a higher normal force over the life of the connector. In addition, it is a mill hardened alloy, and uses “lean” metallurgy and advanced processing techniques to satisfy these performance requirements while still meeting the cost requirements of the most demanding design.

Advantage
Through the unique combination of thermal conductivity and strength available in the MoldMAX product line, these copper mold alloys provide:
• Shorter cycle time
• Improved plastic part dimensional control
• Better parting line maintenance
• Excellent corrosion resistance
Wear Resistance Advantage
Mold life is primarily a function of a mold material’s ability to withstand abrasive wear and galling.
MoldMAX has exhibited excellent wear resistance as injection mold components and cavity inserts in direct contact with the plastic part.
Many molds have been used with glass-reinforced polymers and achieved in excess of 1 million cycles.
Strategic location of MoldMAX components and inserts in aluminum blow molds improves parting line maintenance and provides longer service life.
Corrosion Resistance Advantage
The copper base in the entire MoldMAX family provides excellent resistance to hydrochloric acid, carbonic acid and similar decomposition products, which may result from plastics processing.
As a result, these materials are ideal for applications involving potentially corrosive plastics, such as PVC.
Machinability Advantages
All MoldMAX grades are readily machinable. In conventional machining operations, MoldMAX provides a 10-25% reduction in machining time over the tool steels.
While the high thermal conductivity of MoldMAX makes it slower to electrical discharge machine (EDM) than steel, set up can be optimized to minimize this difference.
