Nearly every area of the electronic marketplace may require some form of electronic shielding. Primary uses commonly include: 

RF gaskets 
Grounding 
Electrostatic discharge 
EMI/RFI shielding for emissions and immunity

 High strength copper alloys, and in particular Beryllium Copper, meet the tougher, more demanding specifications due to these inherent characteristics: 

• Superior attenuation 
• High electrical and RF conductivity 
• Excellent resistance to stress relaxation 
• Excellent corrosion resistance 
• Superior endurance life 
• Accepts various platings for dissimilar metals compatibility
  
• Excellent performance at elevated temperatures 
  
• High uniform strain characteristics 
  
• Moisture and UV resistant 
  
• Low current conduction; i.e. ESD 
  
• Cost-effective

  When these characteristics are summarized into a composite valuation, the most important benefit of this unique material becomes evident:  

• Long-term shielding confidence without degradation
