Copper alloy material and shunt resistor

Abstract

A copper alloy material having a low volume resistivity, a low TCR and a small thermal electromotive force with respect to copper and a shunt resistor comprising a resistive body formed by the copper alloy material are provided. The copper-manganese-based copper alloy material includes 4.5-5.5 mass % of manganese, 0.1-0.3 mass % of iron, 0.1-0.5 mass % of tin, and a balance being copper. A volume resistivity is 15-25 μΩ·cm. An absolute value of TCR is 150×10−6/K or less. A thermal electromotive force with respect to copper is 1 μV/K or less. A resistance value change is −0.3% to 0% in a heat resistance test of 175° C. for 3000 hours.
