Copper Clad (10%) Aluminum
Copper Clad (10%) Aluminum is a conductive wire with a 10% copper cladding over an aluminum core. Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA)offers the inherent characteristics of aluminum while the copper cladding provides greater conduction of current and the ease of soldering copper.
Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) is used for electrical contact material and conductors.
