Beryllium Copper is the ideal spring material because of its high mechanical strength and favorable elastic modulus. Making full use of the excellent spring properties, beryllium copper can downsize a phosphor bronze spring part while the contact force remains the same. This may also lead to downsizing of plastic parts or terminals around it, thus, it can expect cost saving in total.

Nickel Silver is a copper alloy with nickel and often zinc. It is named due to its silvery appearance, but it contains no elemental silver unless plated. The importance of these alloys lies in their color, ductility, good mechanical properties, and suitability for working in a wide variety of cast, rolled and extruded, or drawn shapes. Such alloys resist corrosion better than does brass but tarnish slowly through the action of sulfur in the air.
