Brush Engineered Materials are the basis for enabling technologies for the automotive market. Components containing our products are found in all aspects of vehicle operations - electronic signaling and power, actuation switches, relays and sensors, thermal management and electrical isolation of critical ignition components, crucial operation of safety devices, etc. The safe and efficient operation of your vehicle is paramount to us, and Brush products provide the enabling technologies to get you from here to there - safely, comfortably and efficiently.

Copper beryllium strip materials in components can survive harsh automotive environments caused by high temperatures (400 F near the engine), vibration, and corrosive materials (road salts, seaside atmospheres, battery fluids) to provide failure-free operation. Our unique copper beryllium alloys also enable component designs to become miniaturized without compromising functional performance requirements.

Copper beryllium alloys sold in strip form are fabricated into connector terminals used in automotive wire harnesses and electrical spring components to make switches and relays. The wire harnesses become the circulatory system within passenger cars and light duty trucks transferring electrical power and information signals between automotive sensors, modules, and actuators.

Engineered Material Systems utilize copper alloys and copper beryllium alloys in combination with precious and non-precious metals and are fabricated into connector terminals used in automotive wire harnesses and sensors. Engineered Material Systems provide design flexibility which reduces overall material costs, enhances metal formability, reduces product assembly cost, and provides superior reliability, stability, and electrical conductivity.

Beryllia ceramic provides thermal conductivity to electronics in the ignition module.
