C12200, also known as CDA 122 or DHP Copper, is a type of copper wire that is highly regarded for its exceptional electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. This wire is composed of a minimum of 99.9% pure copper, with trace amounts of phosphorus added to enhance its electrical and thermal properties. C12200 copper wire is widely used in various electrical applications, such as wiring, power transmission, and telecommunications.
The versatility of C12200 copper wire extends beyond its electrical properties. It is also well-suited for soldering, brazing, and welding, which makes it a preferred material for joining electrical components and circuits. Its malleability and ductility allow it to be easily formed into different shapes and sizes, catering to the specific requirements of diverse applications.
