The chain is fine...but I ordered the wrong size. Nine links of the chain I ordered equals six of the size I wanted. My error...
How can I straighten out the springs? I can't use them coil uo as is.

When your project demands a material that conducts reliably, bends cleanly, and holds its shape over time, generic metal strips fall short. Whether you're a hobbyist fabricating custom shielding, an electronics technician routing grounding traces, or a craftsperson working on decorative inlays, this pure copper sheet strip gives you the dimensional accuracy and material integrity your work requires.
Each strip is cut from pure copper (Cu) with a characteristic warm reddish-gold surface. Thickness options range from 0.05 mm to 0.8 mm (approximately 0.002" to 0.031"), and widths span 10 mm to 50 mm (approximately 0.39" to 1.97"). All pieces are supplied at a standard 1000 mm (1 meter / ~39.4") length, giving you a consistent working blank for every application.
Typical use cases include EMI/RFI shielding tape for electronics enclosures, copper inlay work in woodworking and resin art, battery tab and busbar fabrication for DIY power projects, and thin gasket or heat-spreader stock for thermal management applications — all long-tail scenarios where precise gauge and width matter.
Made from unalloyed copper for maximum electrical conductivity (~58 MS/m) and excellent thermal transfer — no brass or bronze substitutes.
Nine thickness options from 0.05 mm to 0.8 mm let you match the exact gauge your design calls for, from ultra-thin foil to structural strip.
Choose from 10, 20, 25, 30, 40, or 50 mm widths — all at a consistent 1000 mm (1 meter) length for predictable material yield.
Copper forms a stable oxide layer that slows further corrosion, making these strips suitable for both indoor and moderately humid environments.
Thin gauges (0.05–0.3 mm) can be cut with scissors or a craft knife; thicker gauges (0.4–0.8 mm) respond well to tin snips or a rotary tool.
Accepts standard rosin-core solder, silver solder, and conductive adhesives — ready for electronics assembly, grounding straps, and busbar work.

For EMI shielding tape or decorative foil inlays, 0.05–0.1 mm is typically sufficient and easy to cut by hand. For grounding straps or battery tabs, 0.2–0.3 mm offers a better balance of flexibility and current capacity. For structural busbars or heat spreaders, 0.5–0.8 mm provides the rigidity and cross-sectional area needed for higher currents or mechanical loads.
These strips are made from unalloyed copper (Cu). They are not brass (Cu-Zn) or bronze (Cu-Sn). Pure copper delivers the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of any common copper-based metal, which is why it is specified for electronics, grounding, and heat-transfer applications.
Copper naturally develops a thin oxide layer (tarnish) when exposed to air and moisture. This layer actually slows further corrosion. For applications where appearance matters, you can apply a clear lacquer or wax. For outdoor or high-humidity environments, consider a protective coating or periodic cleaning with a mild acid solution (e.g., diluted vinegar).
Yes. Pure copper solders readily with standard rosin-core solder (60/40 or 63/37 Sn/Pb) and lead-free alternatives. For best results, lightly abrade the surface with fine sandpaper or steel wool to remove any oxide layer before soldering, then apply flux. Silver solder and conductive epoxy also bond well to copper.
Thin gauges (0.05–0.2 mm) can be cut cleanly with sharp scissors, a craft knife and steel ruler, or a paper trimmer. Medium gauges (0.3–0.5 mm) work well with tin snips or aviation shears. Thicker gauges (0.6–0.8 mm) are best cut with a rotary tool, angle grinder, or metal-cutting bandsaw for a clean edge.
Thinner gauges (0.05–0.2 mm) can be laser-cut with a fiber laser, though copper's high reflectivity requires appropriate laser settings and safety precautions. CNC routing and waterjet cutting work well across all thicknesses. Always consult your machine's material compatibility guidelines before processing.
Current-carrying capacity depends on both width and thickness (cross-sectional area). As a conservative rule of thumb, pure copper can carry approximately 3–4 A per mm² of cross-section at moderate temperatures. For example, a 0.5 mm × 20 mm strip has a 10 mm² cross-section, suitable for roughly 30–40 A continuous. Always derate for your specific installation conditions and consult relevant electrical standards.
