When your project demands a thin, workable metal strip that holds its shape without adding bulk, finding the right gauge in the right width can be frustrating. Hobbyists, model makers, electronics technicians, and precision fabricators all face the same challenge: sourcing a consistent, flat brass strip that cuts cleanly and solders reliably. This brass sheet roll is stocked specifically for those applications.
Each strip is made from C26000 cartridge brass — a copper-zinc alloy known for its balance of ductility and strength. The thickness is a consistent 0.15mm (approximately 0.006 in), with widths ranging from 10mm (0.39 in) to 200mm (7.87 in). Each piece is cut to 1000mm (39.4 in / ~1 yard) in length. The surface is mill-finished, smooth, and free of burrs along the edges.
Typical use cases include shimming bearing housings and mechanical assemblies, crafting decorative inlays and jewelry components, fabricating RF shielding strips in electronics enclosures, and producing flexible contact springs in low-voltage circuits. The 0.15mm gauge is thin enough to bend by hand yet stiff enough to maintain a set shape under light load.
Consistent thickness across the full length — no taper, no variation — so your shims and spacers stack predictably.
Select the exact width you need — from a narrow 10mm strip for electronics work up to a 200mm sheet for larger fabrication tasks.
70% copper / 30% zinc composition delivers good corrosion resistance, excellent solderability, and easy cold-forming without cracking.
At 0.15mm, the strip cuts cleanly with scissors or a craft knife — no power tools required for most hobby and electronics applications.
Smooth surface and clean-cut edges reduce handling risk and eliminate the need for deburring before use.
Each variant ships as a single 1000mm strip — easy to measure, store, and cut down to your required dimensions.

Measure the span you need to cover or the slot you need to fill, then select the next width up. For shimming applications, the strip width should match or slightly exceed the bearing or housing face width. For electronics shielding, choose a width that covers the component footprint with at least 5mm overlap on each side.
Yes, for light-duty shimming — such as adjusting bearing preload, aligning machine components, or filling small gaps in assemblies — 0.15mm brass provides adequate compressive strength. For heavy-load or high-vibration environments, consider stacking multiple strips or using a thicker gauge.
C26000 brass has good atmospheric corrosion resistance and performs well in dry indoor environments. In humid or marine conditions, the surface will develop a natural patina (tarnish) over time. Applying a clear lacquer or wax coating after installation will slow this process. The strip is not suitable for prolonged immersion in salt water or strong acids.
Yes. C26000 cartridge brass has excellent solderability with standard rosin-core or water-soluble flux solders. It can also be silver-brazed for higher-strength joints. Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol or fine abrasive before soldering to remove any surface oxidation and ensure a strong bond.
No. This product is brass — a copper-zinc alloy — not pure copper. Brass is harder and more rigid than pure copper at the same thickness, which makes it better suited for structural shimming and spring contacts. Pure copper has higher electrical conductivity and is preferred for electrical grounding straps. Choose based on your application's requirements.
For widths up to 50mm, sharp scissors or tin snips produce clean cuts with minimal distortion. For wider strips (100–200mm), score the cut line with a craft knife and metal ruler, then bend and snap — similar to cutting acrylic sheet. Avoid using rotary tools without a guide, as they can introduce heat and edge burrs.
Yes. At 0.15mm, C26000 brass in the half-hard temper can be bent to a radius as tight as 0.5mm without cracking. It will hold a set shape under light spring loads, making it suitable for contact springs, retaining clips, and decorative formed elements. Annealing (heating to ~300°C and air-cooling) will soften the strip further if tighter bends are needed.
