Mechanical engineers shimming bearing housings, electronics fabricators forming leaf-spring contacts, and woodworkers cutting structural inlay banding all reach for a 0.5mm brass sheet roll when thinner foils lack the backbone the job requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis brass sheet roll is 0.5mm thick and supplied in 1000mm (39.4 in) lengths. Width options run from 5mm (0.20 in) to 400mm (15.75 in) across 22 variants, letting you select the exact coverage your application needs. The alloy is a standard copper-zinc brass composition with a mill-finish golden surface, offering a reliable combination of ductility, moderate tensile strength, and good solderability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical applications include precision shim stock for machine tool and bearing adjustments, leaf-spring contact strips in low-current electrical assemblies, decorative banding and inlay work in furniture and cabinetry, and thin structural facing panels in scale model engineering. The 0.5mm gauge is also a practical choice for EMI shielding gaskets and grounding straps where mechanical durability matters alongside conductivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e🔧\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tin snips, metal shears, guillotine cutters, and CNC routers.

Choose 0.5mm when the strip needs to resist deflection under light mechanical load — for example, as a leaf-spring contact, a structural inlay, or a shim that must not compress under clamping force. Choose 0.3mm or 0.4mm when flexibility and tight-radius forming are the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat width should I select for my project?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-faq-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelect a width that matches or slightly exceeds the widest dimension of your target area.

For long, straight cuts on wider strips, a guillotine-style metal shear or CNC router is recommended. Score-and-snap is not advised — shear in a single pass for the cleanest edge and to avoid work-hardening along the cut line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs 0.5mm brass suitable for use as a leaf spring or contact strip?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-faq-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — 0.5mm brass is a common gauge for light-duty leaf springs and electrical contact strips in low-current applications. It provides enough spring-back after bending to function as a contact element, while remaining workable with hand tools. For high-cycle fatigue applications or elevated temperatures, consult a materials engineer to confirm suitability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this brass strip corrode or tarnish over time?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-faq-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrass develops a natural patina in humid or outdoor environments. For indoor applications — electronics, furniture inlays, model making — the surface remains stable for years without treatment. To preserve the bright golden finish, apply a thin coat of clear lacquer or metal wax after cleaning. For outdoor or marine use, a protective coating is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I solder or braze this brass strip?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-faq-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Brass solders readily with standard rosin-core or acid-core solder and an appropriate flux. For brazing, use a brass-compatible brazing rod and ensure the surface is clean and oxide-free. The 0.5mm gauge handles torch heat well compared to thinner foils, but avoid dwelling in one spot to prevent localised warping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does brass compare to copper or stainless steel at this thickness?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-faq-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 0.5mm, brass offers a practical balance of stiffness, workability, and corrosion resistance. Copper at the same gauge is softer and more conductive but more expensive and prone to surface oxidation. Stainless steel is harder and more corrosion-resistant but significantly more difficult to cut, bend, and solder. Brass is the most versatile option for most DIY, craft, and light engineering applications at this gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-cta\"\u003e🛒 Select your size (Thickness × Width × Length) above, then add to cart.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HomeDIYer","offers":[{"title":"0.5mm x 5mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411342749970,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01090x1","price":3.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 10mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411342782738,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01091x1","price":4.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 15mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411342815506,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01092x1","price":6.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 20mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411342848274,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01093x1","price":7.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 25mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411342881042,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01094x1","price":8.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 30mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411342913810,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01095x1","price":9.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 35mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411342946578,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01096x1","price":10.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 40mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411342979346,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01097x1","price":11.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 45mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343012114,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01098x1","price":12.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 50mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343044882,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01099x1","price":13.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 55mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343077650,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01100x1","price":14.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 60mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343110418,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01101x1","price":15.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 70mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343143186,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01102x1","price":17.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 80mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343175954,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01103x1","price":19.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 90mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343208722,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01104x1","price":22.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 100mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343241490,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01105x1","price":24.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 120mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343274258,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01106x1","price":28.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 150mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343307026,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01107x1","price":35.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 200mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343339794,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01108x1","price":46.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 250mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343372562,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01109x1","price":58.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 300mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343405330,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01110x1","price":69.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5mm x 400mm x 1000mm","offer_id":52411343438098,"sku":"Adaah2024BILINGQJD01111x1","price":92.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0884\/8936\/1682\/files\/Picture1of9_d5043c38-b00d-424f-849f-8b6d6237a961.jpg?v=1782389122","url":"https:\/\/homediyer.com\/products\/brass-sheet-roll-metal-foil-plate-strip-0-5mm","provider":"HomeDIYer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
