Abstract
An electrical connector made from a Be-Cu alloy can be crimped at room temperature without localized annealing of the crimp section first. Sufficient ductility and tensile strength are imparted to the alloy by cold working the alloy, after final solution annealing, by at least 40% in terms of area reduction and then overaging the alloy during age hardening.
