Period 5 element other metal is not easily oxidized in air and is used to coat other metals to prevent corrosion. The firstalloy, used in large scale since 3000 BC, was bronze, an alloy of tin and copper. After 600 BC pure metallic tin was produced. Pewter, which is an alloy of 85–90% tin with the remainder commonly consisting of copper, antimony and lead, was used for tableware from the Bronze Age until the 20th century. In modern times tin is used in many alloys, most notably tin/lead soft solders, typically containing 60% or more of tin. Another large application for tin is
Electrical connector other connectors such as Banana connectors. A connector that locks a metal spade to a terminal by screwing them together. Crimp connectors can be used for fast and friction-type connections in DC applications where connections are broken repeatedly. Alligator connectors are often used as temporary test leads. A screw terminal is a type of electrical connector where a wire is held by the tightening of a screw. Phone connectors can be used as connectors in microphone cables and for low-voltage, low-current applications. Pogo Pin Connectors or Spring Loaded Connectors is a connector type commonly used in consumer products. The Connector
