When your project demands a metal that machines cleanly, solders reliably, and holds up in humid or corrosive environments, standard steel or aluminum often falls short. Makers, hobbyists, and tradespeople who need a workable yet durable metal strip reach for brass sheet plate — and this listing gives you exactly that, in the thickness and width you need.
These brass sheet plates are made from C26000 / CuZn30 alloy brass, combining copper and zinc for a balance of strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance. Thickness options range from 0.01 mm to 1 mm (approximately 0.0004 in to 0.039 in), and widths span 10 mm to 305 mm (roughly 0.39 in to 12 in), all cut to a consistent 1000 mm (39.4 in) length per piece.
Typical use cases include shim stock and precision gap-filling in mechanical assemblies, decorative inlay and craft metalwork where a warm gold tone is desired, electrical contact strips and grounding tabs in low-voltage DIY electronics, and repair or fabrication of musical instruments, clocks, and scale models requiring thin brass sheet metal strips.

For shim stock and precision gap-filling, 0.01 mm–0.1 mm foil is typical. For structural brackets or decorative strips that need to hold a bend, 0.3 mm–0.5 mm is a practical range. For load-bearing or wear-resistant applications, 0.6 mm–1 mm plate is recommended. If you are unsure, start with 0.2 mm — it is the most versatile thickness for general DIY use.
Brass (CuZn30) has a tensile strength of approximately 340–480 MPa depending on temper and thickness. It is suitable for light mechanical applications such as shims, spacers, contact springs, and decorative hardware. For heavy structural loads, a thicker gauge (0.8 mm–1 mm) is advisable, or consider a harder alloy.
Brass does not rust (it contains no iron), but it will develop a natural patina over time when exposed to moisture and air. For light outdoor use — such as garden ornaments or exterior trim — brass performs well without coating. For prolonged outdoor or marine exposure, applying a clear lacquer or wax will preserve the finish.
Yes. Brass solders easily with standard soft solder (tin-lead or lead-free) and a mild flux. Silver brazing is also suitable for stronger joints. TIG welding is possible but requires care to avoid zinc fuming — ensure adequate ventilation. For most DIY and craft applications, soft soldering is the recommended joining method.
Yes. Thin gauges (up to approximately 0.3 mm) can be cut cleanly with tin snips, a hobby knife, or a rotary cutter. Thicker gauges (0.5 mm–1 mm) are best cut with bench shears, a hacksaw, or a metal-cutting blade on a jigsaw. Brass drills and mills easily with standard HSS tooling — use cutting fluid for cleaner results on thicker stock.
For low-voltage DIY electronics and grounding tabs, a width of 10 mm–20 mm and a thickness of 0.1 mm–0.2 mm is the most common choice. This provides enough surface area for reliable contact while remaining flexible enough to form tabs and clips. Brass's conductivity is lower than pure copper but sufficient for most signal and grounding applications.
The 305 mm width corresponds to the imperial 12-inch standard, which is common in North American woodworking and metalworking projects where imperial measurements are used. The 300 mm width aligns with metric standards. Choose 305 mm if your project references 12-inch dimensions; choose 300 mm for metric-based designs.
