High-Performance Silver Bearing Copper Busbar
Grades C107 & C116 | Engineered for Thermal Stability & Conductivity
Elevate your electrical infrastructure with Maverick Metals’ premium Silver Bearing Copper Busbar. While traditional C110 and C102 coppers set the standard for conductivity, C107 and C116 alloys are engineered to perform where others yield. By integrating trace amounts of silver, these alloys significantly increase the softening temperature of the material without sacrificing electrical conductivity.
Ideal for high-heat environments, commutator segments, and heavy-duty industrial applications, our silver-bearing copper resists annealing and creep, ensuring your systems remain rigid, reliable, and efficient even under extreme thermal stress.

Silver Bearing Copper Busbar Grades
Overcoming the Heat Limit: The C107 & C116 Advantage
C10700 (C107) – Oxygen-free copper with low silver content. Offers excellent ductility and high conductivity
•
CC11600 (C116) – The industry standard for high-temperature electrical applications requiring structural integrity.
•
Standard electrolytic copper can soften and lose mechanical strength at elevated temperatures, leading to structural failures in critical components. Silver Bearing Copper solves this via Softening Resistance.
- Uncompromised Conductivity: Unlike other alloying elements, silver has minimal impact on conductivity, maintaining ratings near 100% IACS.
- High Softening Point: The addition of silver raises the annealing temperature, allowing the busbar to maintain hardness and strength during soldering, brazing, or high-current operation.
- Creep Resistance: Prevents deformation under load over time, essential for rotating machinery like commutators.
