Two days in a row with big copper bumps! Paid $4.05 for a small quantity of Cu #2 today. Woulda gone as high as $4.12 with sufficient weight! What a hot way to end the week.
Adding another item to my buy sheet and updating pricing again quickly since some aluminums have also bumped this week. The new item is the aluminum copper heatsinks with the copper slug in the middle as with the photo below. These generally come with and without a steel bracket and always have extruded aluminum surrounding the copper core. On the price sheet these will be labeled "Al/Cu 6063 heatsink". Price for these with the steel bracket is $1.38/lb and without it $1.54/lb. These very occasionally have other steel beyond the bracket. These will be bought at the bracketed price. Will be adding other pricing for other Al/Cu heatsinks types in the near future. A few other price updates below for the aluminum bump.
