Commercially Pure Silver

Commercially pure silver is a precious metal alloy formulated for use in electrical contacts. It has a fairly high electrical conductivity and can have the lowest tensile strength among precious metal electrical contact alloys.

The properties of commercially pure silver include six common variations. This page shows summary ranges across all of them. For more specific values, follow the links immediately below. The graph bars on the material properties cards further below compare commercially pure silver to: precious metal electrical contact alloys (top), all alloys in the same category (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
