Product Description
6J12 Manganin Alloy Strip (0.19mm Thickness × 100mm Width)
Product Overview
6J12 manganin alloy strip (0.19mm×100mm), a high-precision
resistance alloy product independently developed and manufactured
by Huona New Material, is a typical manganese-copper (Mn-Cu) based
precision resistance alloy. Crafted via our advanced vacuum
smelting, cold-rolling, and precision annealing processes, this
strip features a fixed thin gauge of 0.19mm and standard width of
100mm, achieving ultra-tight dimensional tolerances and consistent
electrical properties. It integrates three core advantages of
manganin alloys: ultra-low temperature coefficient of resistance
(TCR), stable high resistivity, and excellent corrosion
resistance—making it the preferred material for high-precision
current shunts, standard resistors, and precision electrical
measuring components in aerospace, metrology, and industrial
control fields.

100mm width (tolerance: ±0.1mm)

precision processing
Key Advantages (vs. Common Resistance Alloys)
The 6J12 manganin strip (0.19mm×100mm) stands out for its
manganin-specific precision performance and tailored 规格 design:
- Extreme Resistance Stability (Core Advantage of Manganin):
Temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) as low as ±5 ppm/°C
(-50℃ to 150℃), far superior to constantan (6J40: ±20 ppm/°C) and
copper-nickel alloys (CuNi44: ±40 ppm/°C). Resistivity remains
stable at 0.48±0.02 μΩ·m (20℃), with resistance drift <0.005%
after 1000 hours of operation at 100℃—critical for standard
resistors and high-precision current measurement (error ≤0.01%).
- Optimized Thin-Gauge Mechanical Balance:
0.19mm thickness strikes a perfect balance between
"miniaturization" and "processability"—thinner than 0.25mm strips
(fits compact PCB designs for consumer electronics) while avoiding
the brittleness of ultra-thin strips (<0.1mm). Even in half-hard
temper, it maintains good bendability (minimum bending radius ≥2×
thickness) and can withstand high-precision stamping without
cracking.
- Standard Width for Efficient Batch Production:
100mm width matches industrial precision etching and stamping die
sizes, allowing simultaneous fabrication of 30-50 sets of resistor
grids or shunt elements per strip. Reduces material waste by ≥25%
compared to custom narrow-width strips, significantly lowering
customers' production costs and improving processing efficiency.
- Superior Corrosion & Current Stability:
Manganin alloy composition (Mn-Cu-Ni) forms a dense passive film,
resisting atmospheric corrosion, freshwater, and mild chemical
environments (pH 4-10). Passes 1000-hour ASTM B117 salt spray
testing with negligible performance decay. Meanwhile, it has low
thermoelectric potential (≤1μV/℃ vs. copper), ensuring stable
current transmission in low-voltage high-current circuits.
- Excellent Etchability for Precision Patterns:
The strip's uniform microstructure (grain size ≤20μm) and bright
annealed surface (Ra ≤0.2μm) enable ultra-fine chemical
etching—minimum etched line width up to 0.03mm, meeting the
production requirements of micro-precision shunts and thin-film
resistors.

Typical Applications
- High-Precision Current Shunts: Used in ammeters, power analyzers,
and EV battery management systems (BMS) – stable resistance ensures
current measurement accuracy ≤0.01%.
- Standard Resistors & Calibration Components: As the core material
of laboratory standard resistors and calibration equipment –
ultra-low TCR guarantees long-term calibration stability.
- Precision Measuring Instruments: Resistance elements for pressure
transducers, torque sensors, and flow meters – low thermoelectric
potential reduces measurement interference.
- Consumer Electronics: Micro-shunts for smartphone fast-charging
modules and laptop power adapters – 0.19mm thin gauge fits compact
