0.005mm Thickness 6J22 Karma Alloy Precision Resistance Foil with Low TCR and Custom Width

6J22 Karma Alloy Precision Resistance Foil

1. Product Overview

6J22 (Karma) is a nickel-chromium-aluminum-iron (NiCrAlFe) precision resistance alloy widely recognized as the material of choice for high-precision resistors and resistance strain gauges. Our 6J22 precision resistance foil is produced from high-purity raw materials through precision rolling and bright annealing, delivering uniform thickness, a clean bright surface and consistent electrical properties across the whole coil. Thickness ranges from 0.005 mm to 0.5 mm, with customized width available to match your etching, stamping or winding process.
