Copper Alloy C19200-H02 vs C19200-H06
Copper Alloy · C19200 temper comparison
C19200-H02 and C19200-H06 are two conditions of the same copper alloy grade, C19200: H02 (half hard) versus H06 (extra hard). The chemistry is identical, so every difference below comes from the condition. C19200-H06 is the stronger of the two: yield strength 380 MPa (55.1 ksi) against 300 MPa (43.5 ksi) for C19200-H02, about 27% more; tensile strength follows at 400 MPa (58 ksi) vs 335 MPa (48.6 ksi). In exchange, C19200-H02 is the more ductile: elongation 8% versus 3% for C19200-H06, and C19200-H06 is harder (115 HB vs 95 HB).
C19200-H02Choose it when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded.
C19200-H06Choose it when strength drives the design.
C19200-H02 vs C19200-H06: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all copper alloy grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.

C19200-H02 vs C19200-H06 — frequently asked
Is C19200-H06 stronger than C19200-H02?
Yes. C19200-H06 has a typical yield strength of 380 MPa (55.1 ksi) against 300 MPa (43.5 ksi) for C19200-H02 — about 27% more. Tensile strength is 400 MPa (58 ksi) vs 335 MPa (48.6 ksi).
Which condition does FabDigit quote by default, H02 or H06?
H55 is the default C19200 condition in the FabDigit quote flow (neither H02 nor H06). The other condition is available on request or by drawing note — specify it in the material field or the part notes and the quote is priced for it.
When should I choose C19200-H02 over C19200-H06?
Pick C19200-H02 when the part is bent, formed or impact-loaded. Pick C19200-H06 when strength drives the design.
