The alloy is used for the manufacture of resistance standards, precision wire wound resistors, potentiometers, shunts and other electrical
and electronic components. This Copper-Manganese-Nickel alloy has a very low thermal electromotive force (emf) vs. Copper, which
makes it ideal for use in electrical circuits, especially DC, where a spurious thermal emf could cause malfunctioning of electronic
equipment. The components in which this alloy is used normally operate at room temperature; therefore its low temperature coefficient
of resistance is controlled over a range of 15 to 35ºC.
