Cellular phones, pagers, wireless base stations, internet infrastructure equipment, fiber optic communications equipment – Brush Engineered Materials are paving the way for faster, smaller, lighter communication technologies. Brush engineered products provide the critical electrical, thermal and strength requirements to meet the ever-changing needs of this fast-paced market.

The growing complexity of cellular phones, pagers, and digital personal assistants has accelerated the miniaturization of electronic components. As a result, there is heightened demand for smaller, lighter, and more durable connectors that can withstand the punishment of constant use in these devices. Copper beryllium alloys are uniquely suited to fit these requirements.

Copper beryllium alloys are used in electronic connectors that support the transmission of signals and power within every piece of equipment used in the communications and information transmission markets. In addition, copper beryllium is sold in the form of mechanical tube and customized shapes for use as repeater housings, protecting sensitive fiber optic equipment from harsh undersea environments.

The high strength, excellent formability and consistency of copper beryllium alloys give designers the freedom to create small intricate parts, while lowering production costs and contributing to the end-of-life reliability required in today’s lightweight hand held electronic devices.

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. These Engineered Material Systems utilize a variety of precious and non-precious metals which are joined in continuous strip form using cladding, electroplating, electron beam welding, solder coating, contour profiling, or combinations of these technologies. These materials are used in connectors, contacts, shielding switches, and relays for communications and information appliance markets.

Zentrix Technologies' material, circuits, and sub-assemblies provide solutions that optimize the electrical and thermal performance of semiconductors typically used to amplify and transmit digital and analog signals. As part of the Materials Group, Zentrix Technologies also provides marketing and sales support of beryllium oxide (BeO) ceramics for the industry leader, Brush Ceramic Products Inc., another Brush Engineered Materials Company.
