Ductile means that it can hammered thin or made into a wire. That pretty much excludes the possibility of being brittle. However, conducting heat or electricity is entirely different. It just so happens that metals are often ductile and the often conduct heat and electricity, but other materials are not ductile that do conduct electricity, and many of them are brittle. The physical properties (being ductile or brittle) do not necessarily determine the chemical properties (being conductive).
