1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers silver-coated, round, copper-clad steel wire for electronic application.
1.2 Silver coatings in mass percentages of the total mass of the coated wire are as follows: 1.25, 2.5, 4.0, 6.1, and 8.0.
1.2.1 Silver-coated wire having different minimum percentage of silver by mass may be obtained by mutual agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. For information purposes, the thickness of coating in microinches provided by the mass percentages listed in is shown in .
1.3 Four classes of copper-clad steel wire are covered as follows: Class 30HS nominal 30 % conductivity hard-drawn, Class 30A nominal 30 % conductivity annealed, Class 40HS nominal 40 % conductivity hard-drawn, and Class 40A nominal 40 % conductivity annealed.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only except for resistivity, where the SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
