Computer requirements are trending toward faster data transfer rates or broader bandwidths and increased power consumption. In a networked environment where all systems communicate with one another, a higher degree of reliability is required. Brush Engineered Materials are used in connector and shielding products related to information storage and retrieval systems, workstation servers, notebook computers, personal digital assistants and local area networks that support wide area networks or the internet

Copper beryllium alloys are uniquely positioned to serve the market needs by providing a combination of better electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, yield strength, and formability over other copper alloys. Better electrical conductivity, along with mechanical stability in a broad range of environmental conditions, results in a higher degree of system reliability.

Copper beryllium alloys are utilized to make electrical mechanical contacts that support the transfer of power and signals in computers and computer peripherals. Copper beryllium and Engineered Material Systems are sold to the computer industry in strip and wire form for connectors, contacts, shielding, switches, and relays.

Engineered Material Systems are used in the computer market for connectors, switches, lead frames, and solder clips. Our 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.
