Standard RCC Products Offer Customers a Quick Alternative to BeCu Parts
ST. LOUIS, MO USA — (June 21, 2007) – Laird Technologies, a global leader of critical components and systems for advanced electronics and wireless products, today announced that its top 31 most popular fingerstock standard products made from Recyclable Clean Copper (RCC) are now available within two business days or less.

RCC products offer similar performance characteristics to beryllium copper (BeCu) products and will work in 80 percent of all applications where BeCu is now used. RCC products do not contain beryllium giving customers, who want to avoid the use of beryllium containing metals and who wish to avoid certain price increases, a choice in alloy selections. The new metal alloy that Laird Technologies’ utilizes comes from two different reliable sources – one in Europe and one in Asia.

Laird Technologies’ RCC products are copper-based industrial shielding gaskets that offer a beryllium-free Emi shielding solution for use in a wide range of slotted applications.
