HISTORY:
Sustainability is the name of the game! Anything (that has been tested and still functioning properly) should be repurposed creating saving in wasted Ee and reducing the poisoning our environment when items are buried in the earth at the local tip needlessly.
Never heard of Ee? It is a concept that creates a measurement of ALL things (not just electronics) that humans have made and the energy used in obtaining the raw material, processing the materials right through to a finished product and even should include the shipping of the item to the distributors/retailers.

Yes, this is simply a short, narrow, small strip of Brass metal but items such as this can come in so handy when "home brewing" or creating your custom electronic gizmo
Try to find a small piece of "raw" metal in a retailer, you have buckley's chance (none)!
STRIP OF METAL
BRASS
DIMENSIONS:
64.25mm length x 15.15mm wide x 0.5mm thick
COSMETIC CONDITION:
CLEAN
NO oxidisation
Shiny (yes, I have given it a quick polish up!)
Reasonably malleable
Obvious bend point in the centre as this strip was originally to be used as a special right angle, high current carrying conductor
Now packed away in a sealed clear plastic packet awaiting some sort of innovative use in your next project e.g PSU high current conductive strip or even as a very low Ohm's resistor for current sensing.
I cannot accurately measure the cold resistance, my equipment is very basic these days and I get an "indication" of around 0.01 Ohm end to end resistance at 20C but take that with a "grain of salt" I see there are studies online which have looked into the resistivity changes of alloys such as Brass - interesting project if you have lots of time to kill!
