For High-Performance Electronics and Industrial Applications
Metal materials play a pivotal role in industrial manufacturing, valued for their excellent conductivity, strength, and corrosion resistance. This page presents a range of common and specialized metals, along with their applications in sensors, potentiometers, and precision components.
Clad materials are engineered composites that bond two or more distinct metals into layered structures, combining the best properties of each. By optimizing conductivity, strength, wear resistance, and corrosion protection, they enable high-performance components while reducing the use of costly precious metals. With flexible thickness ratios, widths, and bonding configurations, clad strips are ideal for precision electrical contacts, connector terminals, battery tabs, potentiometer and sensor elements, and other applications where performance, reliability, and material efficiency are critical.

Brush and super thin brush materials are essential for ensuring reliable electrical contact in miniature motors, potentiometers, and precision sensors. Using high-performance copper alloys and precious metal contacts such as silver-palladium, these materials deliver superior arc resistance, wear resistance, and stable conductivity under high-speed or long-duration operation. With thicknesses as low as 0.05 mm, they are ideal for compact designs where space, weight, and durability are critical—making them a preferred choice in mobile devices, model aircraft, automotive components, and industrial control systems.
Precious Part Materials: AgPd30, AgPd50, AP-2, AP-3, APZC, APNC
Base Materials: C7701, MX96, MX215
Alloy Strip: C7701 (BZn18-26), MX96, MX215
Key Properties: Arc burning resistance, excellent wear resistance; inhibits spark production; extends service life for motors and sliding contact parts; thickness of super thin brush strips ≤ 0.05 mm
Typical Applications: Brush materials for various micro motors (mobile phones, model aircraft, toy motors), and contact parts in potentiometers and sensors
This post compares SMD trimmers (e.g., 3314) and multi-turn trimmers (e.g., 3381/3296/3386), explaining how they differ in adjustment precision, usage frequency, and design intent.
SMD potentiometers are used for circuit calibration, with short lifespans, glued after adjustment, and almost always made with cermet. This article explains their applications, compares
