Yes. On a scale of 0 to 100, where annealed copper is 100, aluminum rates a 59, and brass averages 28. I say averages because there are actually quite a few different alloys of brass, but all of them are poorer conductors than aluminum.

copper is better


How conductive is brass?

Brass is a good conductor of electricity compared to materials like rubber or plastic, but it is not as conductive as pure metals like copper or silver. Its conductivity depends on the composition of the brass alloy and can vary based on the percentage of copper and zinc in the mixture.


How effective is brass a conductor of electricity?

It isn't. In terms of volume, silver is best, followed by copper, then aluminum. Aluminum is 2X better conductivity by weight than anything else. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and their proportions can be varied to create different brasses. So if you wanted to make brass highly electrically conductive, you would add a lot of copper and silver to it. There is a common brass known as "electrical brass" that is commonly used for electrical conductor parts, and it's chief virtues are that it can be worked easily and is not expensive.


Is a Brass paper faster a insulator or a conductor?

Brass is a conductor of electricity due to its metallic properties. It is made up of copper and zinc, which allow for the flow of electrons through the material.

Why are the pins on a plug made of brass not copper?

because brass is generally tarnish resisant so it does not discolours easily and also because brass is not such expensive as copper <<>> The pins are make of brass because it is a harder metal than copper and will wear better through use over its lifetime.
