Silver-Clad Copper Strip and Solid Silver Strip
Define whether silver is required at the surface or through the full section, then compare contact duty, forming, exposed edges and finished-part cost.

| Decision | SCC strip | silver strip | Acceptance basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rolled structure | Silver-surfaced copper strip with a defined layer system | Silver strip of specified grade and temper | Confirm manufacturing capability, total gauge and each layer. |
| Forming and edges | Check layer continuity after rolling, slitting and bends | Check silver temper, burr and bend response | Agree corner radius, surface damage and exposed-edge acceptance. |
| Contact behavior | Qualify contacts to the silver surface over the copper core | Qualify contacts to the silver strip base | Use the intended current, pressure, wear and exposure; no universal corrosion or medical approval. |
| Cost and references | Include silver layer, process yield and accepted parts | Include silver grade, process yield and accepted parts | B298 round-wire classes do not qualify strip; cost depends on the actual silver quantity and process. |
