Constantan Nickel-Copper Wire from Japan

Constantan (55% copper, 45% nickel) wire provides stable electrical resistance for precision thermocouples and strain gauges. Though copper-rich, nickel alloy status and non-cold-formed processing classify it under HTS 7505.22.50.00.

Import Tips

Thermocouple type (Type J, T) designation helps verify alloy composition

Provide resistivity curves confirming constantan properties vs generic alloys

Copper content can trigger secondary review for Chapter 74 classification
