C5191 Phosphor Bronze Strip

C5191 is the general-purpose phosphor bronze for springs and contacts: good strength, formability and fatigue resistance at a moderate cost. C5210, with higher tin content, is available where more spring force is needed.

Questions buyers ask

What is the difference between C5191 and C5210?

C5210 contains 7 to 9 % tin against 5.5 to 7 % in C5191. The extra tin raises strength and spring performance and slightly lowers conductivity. C5210 is the usual choice for high-cycle springs.

What documents come with each shipment?

The original mill test certificate for the heat lot, a packing list with coil numbers, and RoHS and REACH declarations.
