Copper bolts are precision-engineered from high-purity electrolytic copper (C11000) or oxygen-free copper (C10100), combining excellent electrical conductivity, thermal transfer, and corrosion resistance. The natural oxide layer provides reliable protection against atmospheric moisture and industrial environments, ensuring stable electrical connections and mechanical fastening over extended service life. From miniature electronic components to heavy-duty bus bar connections, copper bolts are widely used in power transmission, grounding systems, RF shielding, and medical equipment. All dimensions, head styles, thread forms, and surface finishes are available for custom order.
C11000 (electrolytic tough pitch) offers ≥100% IACS conductivity and is the most common choice for electrical applications. C10100 (oxygen-free copper) provides higher purity and better performance in reducing atmospheres or high-vacuum environments, with slightly lower conductivity.
Yes, but galvanic corrosion may occur when copper contacts aluminum or bare steel in moist environments. Tin plating, silver plating, or anti-seize compounds are recommended to prevent galvanic reactions. For aluminum connections, use bi-metal washers or appropriate surface coatings.
All parameters are customizable: diameter (M2–M36 or imperial), length (up to 400mm), head style (hex, socket, flat, round, or custom), thread pitch (metric, UNC, UNF, BSW, or special), surface finish (bright, tinned, silver plated, oxidized), and chamfer or groove details.
Copper threads can gall under high friction. Use anti-seize lubricant (silver-based or graphite) on threads before installation. For high-torque applications, nickel-coated or silver-plated threads reduce friction and prevent cold welding. Always use calibrated torque tools to avoid over-tightening.
