This family of alloys, which consists of copper and zinc is brass. The conductivity of brass is a function of the amount of zinc in the copper/zinc mix. The chart below delineates the conductivity of brass as a function of zinc content.
Figure 2. Effect of Zinc Content on the Electrical Conductivity of Brass
Copper-30% zinc is a good starting place when selecting copper alloys for strength and formability. This is also a good "home base" when selecting alloys for conductivity. Designers can often use their experience with copper-30% zinc to estimate just how much more conductivity they must have in a given application. If only twenty percent more is needed, then a metal with a conductivity equal to 34% IACS is required. If twice the conductivity of copper-30% zinc is needed, only copper-5% zinc will be useful among the brasses, and its lower zinc content means a sacrifice in strength. There are a number of alternate alloys to consider in such a case, from the Coppers, High Coppers, and Bronzes.

∙ 6y agoBrass is a pretty good conductor of heat, but as there are so many different brass alloys, we can't be much more specific than that.
