RoHS compliant alloy conductors were originally invented by Fisk Alloy. Continuously innovating, we now produce a family of high performance alloy con-ductors, PERCON.®
Alloy conductors combine copper as the major con-
stituent with other elements to obtain an engineered
set of properties. Our Percon alloy conductors balance
several competing engineering attributes: breaking
load, elongation, electrical resistivity, resistance to
thermal softening, mechanical processing and cost.
Each alloy is engineered for different applications and
product specifications. Fisk provides a full range of
alloy conductors — either bare, gold, nickel, silver,
or tin plated — as stranded or bunched constructions,
on bobbins or as single end wire in sizes as small as
0.0124 mm (56 AWG).
Listed below is the current selection and properties of
Percon alloy conductors. Fisk’s technology in copper
alloys stands ready to tailor required properties or
develop new ones as you may find needed.

Alloy Wire Fisk Alloy specializes in copper alloy wire, manufac-turing it in the shapes and sizes that customers specify — with high precision, uniformity, and quality.
As an industry leader, Fisk Alloy has continuously
developed innovative products and technologies for
producing wire in copper alloys. Our processing ca-
pabilities range from 10 mm (0.400") to 0.0124 mm
(0.00049", 56 AWG), bare or plated. With a staff of
some 200 persons, Fisk manufactures wire to customer
specification in the U.S. at our 14,000 m2 Hawthorne,
NJ facility. The long lead time necessary for casting
specialty copper alloys requires that we keep a large
and varied inventory of these alloys in rod and wire in
stock at all times, so that we can respond quickly to
market exigencies. Although copper alloys are our spe-
cialty we also work with other materials as requested
by our customers. Listed below please find a summary
of our general capabilities and stocked alloys.

to order
Surface Finishes
Reel to reel electroplated processing of Copper, Gold,
Nickel, Silver and Tin in single layers or in multi-lay-
ered combinations (e.g. Ni-Au) to specified thickness
for each element. Fisk also produces an Advance Tin
Barrier (ATB) plating system which reduces insertion
forces and increases solderability shelf life.
Tempers
To specified tensile strengths from annealed to spring
by separate or combined cold work processing and
heat treating to temper.
Packages
0.1 kg to 500 kg on a variety of coils, drums, reels and
Fine and ultra-fine wire from Fisk Alloy leverages our decades of know-how in copper alloy manufacturing to offer custom solutions in fine diameter round wire for the spring and connector industries.
Our efforts in specialty and fine wire at Fisk focus
directly on the ever increasing requirements for high
performance products at smaller sizes, offering cli-
ents a valuable tool for meeting the unique challenges
presented by miniaturization. From traditional spring
materials in beryllium copper, to alternative beryllium-
free systems, our specialty and fine wire products
bring together our existing alloy and conductor lines
to offer unique combinations of strength, conductivity,
formability, and resistance to relaxation or softening.
With careful consideration of these attributes and a
complete range of available plating solutions, we can
meet the requirements of a wide variety of parts from
electronic contacts to mechanical springs.

Available in rod or wire, Fisk Alloy copper alloys are optimized for manufacturing machined products that exceed both end use and processing requirements.
Machinability, mechanical requirements, physical
properties, corrosion resistance, and fabrication – all
important considerations when selecting the correct
copper alloy for manufacturing a machined product. At
Fisk, we understand these characteristics and enhance
them to maximize performance of our rod and wire
products. Wrought from alloys that are cast to our exact
specifications and informed by our metallurgical know-
how, Fisk Alloy products receive the right combination
of heat treatment and cold work needed to excel in the
most demanding applications. Precise control through-
out the entire process ensures a highly consistent
product providing maximum value for the customer.
Machinable alloys from Fisk are manufactured in our
Hawthorne, NJ facility. With a sharp focus on preci-
sion, quality, and value, we can meet your require-
ments in a timely manner. Please find below a sum-

BlueBrass® is a RoHS compliant, lead-free machinable copper alloy, bringing both economic and environ-mental benefits to precision machining by combining performance and regulatory compliance in a single solution.
BlueBrass is a RoHS compliant, lead-free brass with
good machinability, high strength, excellent ductility,
and ease of recycling. Based on the copper-zinc alloy
system and made from common alloying elements,
lead is present only in a limited amount for compli-
ance with a growing range of legislative and regulatory
guidelines. BlueBrass is recommended for any RoHS
compliant machined brass part, and is of particular
interest where replacement of traditional leaded brass
has proved difficult or impractical due to processing or
end use requirements.
BlueBrass performance relies on a unique combina-
tion of composition and microstructure. This approach
alleviates the need for substitution with elements such
as silicon, bismuth, and sulfur — all of which can
have negative impact to recycling and product quality,
requiring continuous and costly controls in use. Be-
cause of it’s RoHS composition, BlueBrass chips can
be safely added to the standard scrap stream without
exception. This results in both economic and ecologic
benefits throughout the supply chain.
BlueBrass is flexible by design and having a dedicated
development team, we can tailor the properties to your
unique situation.
BlueBrass 42e
BlueBrass 42e is a member of the BlueBrass family of
alloys, specifically targeted for all electronic products
including connector components. When compared to
traditional leaded brass, electrical conductivity and
machining properties are comparable, while strength
BlueBrass®
and ductility are both markedly improved. The favor-
able ductility provides increased capacity for hot form-
ing or secondary cold working operations.
BlueBrass 42e is available in wire from 0.25 to 6.35
mm (0.010 to 0.250") diameter. Rod products are
manufactured with diameters from 1 to 8 mm (0.039
to 0.315") and standard lengths of 3000 (118.1") or
3657.6 (144").
BlueBrass 42e is manufactured and distributed by Fisk
Alloy in the USA, in partnership with Aurubis AG.
