Description

T2 Copper Flat Bar Square Plate Strip 100mm — Solid Copper Block for Busbars, Thermal Interfaces & Precision Machining

When a project calls for a short, thick copper section with a near-square cross-section, sourcing the right blank is rarely straightforward. Electrical engineers, CNC machinists, and thermal management specialists who need a T2 copper flat bar in a compact 100mm length with substantial width and thickness turn to this solid strip — where the geometry does the work before you even pick up a tool.

Each piece is cut from T2 copper (≥99.9% Cu) to a fixed 100mm length (approx. 3.94 in). Width options run from 40mm to 60mm (approx. 1.57–2.36 in) and thickness options from 35mm to 60mm (approx. 1.38–2.36 in), producing a dense, fully solid cross-section with no voids or seams. The near-square profile makes these pieces equally suited to use as flat bar stock or as compact copper block blanks.

Typical applications include short busbar segments and connection blocks in switchgear panels, copper heat spreader blanks for high-wattage electronics cooling, grounding lug stock for heavy-duty earthing systems, and precision-machined contact pads or electrode blanks where a T2 copper flat bar with a thick, square cross-section is the starting point.

Compatibility note: T2 copper is compatible with standard soldering, silver brazing, and TIG welding processes. Suitable for direct contact with copper, brass, and bronze components. For connections to aluminum, use an appropriate bimetallic transition connector to prevent galvanic corrosion.

✅ Key Features of These T2 Copper Flat Bar Square Plate Strips

  • 🔩T2-Grade Purity (≥99.9% Cu): Electrical conductivity of approximately 58 MS/m (IACS ~100%) and thermal conductivity of ~390 W/(m·K) — the benchmark for commercially pure copper used in electrical and thermal applications.
  • 📐Compact 100mm Length, Near-Square Cross-Section: Fixed 100mm (3.94 in) length with width 40–60mm and thickness 35–60mm gives you a dense copper block that minimises material waste when machining custom contact pads, lugs, or heat spreaders.
  • 🔲Fully Solid — No Voids or Seams: Solid bar stock throughout the entire cross-section ensures uniform conductivity and mechanical integrity. No risk of internal porosity that could compromise current-carrying capacity or thermal transfer.
  • 🛡️Natural Oxide Patina Protection: T2 copper develops a stable cupric oxide layer in air that slows further oxidation. In enclosed electrical enclosures and dry environments, no additional surface treatment is required for most applications.
  • ✂️Machinable with Standard Workshop Tools: Soft/annealed temper allows drilling, milling, sawing, and tapping with standard HSS tooling. Use cutting fluid for cleaner finishes and longer tool life when working with the thicker cross-sections.
  • 📦Sold Individually (1 PCS per Unit): Each variant is listed and priced per piece, so you order the exact quantity and cross-section you need without committing to bulk packs.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between the different width and thickness combinations?

The right combination depends on your application's current or thermal load and the physical space available. For busbar use, calculate the required cross-sectional area (width × thickness in mm²) based on your target current rating — a conservative guideline for T2 copper in enclosed installations is 1–2 A per mm². For machined blanks, choose the smallest cross-section that still gives you enough material to achieve your finished dimensions after cutting.

What is the difference between this product and the 200mm-long version?

This listing covers pieces cut to a fixed 100mm length, which suits applications where a compact, near-square copper block is needed — such as short busbar connectors, heat spreader blanks, or machined contact pads. The 200mm-long version provides a longer flat bar profile better suited to extended busbar runs or strip applications. Both are made from the same T2 copper grade.

Can I use this copper bar as a heat spreader or thermal interface block?

Yes. T2 copper's thermal conductivity of approximately 390 W/(m·K) makes it one of the most effective commercially available materials for heat spreading. The thick cross-sections available in this listing (35–60mm) provide substantial thermal mass, which is useful for buffering transient heat loads in power electronics, laser diode mounts, and high-wattage LED assemblies. Machine the mating surfaces flat to minimise thermal contact resistance.

Will the copper surface oxidize, and does that affect conductivity?

T2 copper oxidizes in air, forming a thin cupric oxide (Cu₂O / CuO) layer. In dry indoor environments, this layer is stable and grows slowly. For electrical contact surfaces, oxidation can increase contact resistance over time. To maintain low-resistance connections, clean contact areas with fine abrasive or apply an electrical-grade anti-oxidant compound before assembly. Tin-plating is an option for long-term protection in humid environments.

Is T2 copper suitable for welding or brazing?

Yes. T2 copper can be silver-brazed using standard silver-copper-phosphorus or silver-copper-zinc alloys with appropriate flux. TIG welding is also possible using deoxidized copper filler rod (e.g., ERCu), though copper's high thermal conductivity requires significant preheat (typically 300–500°C for thick sections) to achieve proper fusion. Soldering with tin-lead or lead-free solders is straightforward for lighter-duty joints.

How do I estimate the weight of a piece before ordering?

Use the formula: Weight (kg) = Length (m) × Width (m) × Thickness (m) × 8,960. For example, a 100mm × 50mm × 50mm piece = 0.1 × 0.05 × 0.05 × 8,960 ≈ 2.24 kg. For a 100mm × 40mm × 35mm piece = 0.1 × 0.04 × 0.035 × 8,960 ≈ 1.25 kg. Use these estimates to plan handling and shipping requirements when ordering multiple pieces.

Can I drill or tap threads into this copper bar?

Yes. T2 copper in soft/annealed temper drills and taps readily with standard HSS tooling. Use a center punch before drilling to prevent bit wandering on the smooth surface. For tapping, use a spiral-flute tap with cutting oil to clear chips effectively — copper's ductility can cause chips to pack in straight-flute taps. Thread engagement of 1.5× the bolt diameter is recommended for reliable pull-out strength in copper.
