Regal Components Inc. has introduced a line of high-performance beryllium-free copper-based alloy core pins for high-volume, high-heat plastics molding applications. The Regal BFP type high-conductivity core pins are made from a C-18000 beryllium-free copper-based alloy providing 95-98 Rockwell B (20-25 Rockwell C) hardness. Regal says the alloy offers 10 times better heat conductivity than steel and two times better conductivity than beryllium copper pins, while also resisting thermal stress, wear and abrasion.

The pins are available in 16 standard diameters from 3/32 to 3/4", and in lengths of 3, 6, 14 and 20". The pins can also be custom machined to customer requirements. Uniform temperatures throughout these core pins coupled with low-adhesion characteristics help reduce part damage during ejection. The pins are priced from $19.36 each, with a catalog and complete price list available upon request.
