Abstract

A high strength/highly conductive copper alloy plate material of the present invention contains silver in a range of 4% by mass or more and 13% by mass or less, and balancing copper and unavoidable impurities. In the high strength/highly conductive copper alloy plate material, a minimum value of a tensile strength (UTS) is 600 MPa or more and 1250 MPa or less, and a conductivity (% IACS) is 60% or more and 90% or less.

Claims (22)
