Constantan Alloy Flat Wire 6j40
Overview
Constantan Alloy Flat Wire 6J40 is engineered for precision resistive applications with near-zero temperature coefficient (TCR≤±20ppm/°C), maintaining ±0.5% resistivity stability from -50°C to +400°C. Its superior oxidation resistance and fatigue performance make it ideal for industrial heaters, sensor bridges, and thermocouple compensation wires. ISO/IEC 17025 certified, 6J40 wire meets stringent material consistency requirements in medical and aerospace industries.
