Beryllium-Copper: How safe?


now more and more hifi accessories like power plug, receptacles has Beryllium-copper in them. just curious how safe are beryllium-copper in our normal household? say receptacles with BE-copper contact, and with constant plugging in/out of the plug, will it be a concern?

just me being paranoid....

Geez, I have a set of beryllium copper golf irons that I don't use, maybe I should visit e-bay.

As stated in Albert's reference, it is my understanding that some years ago, stricter environmental controls increased costs related to manufacturing items with this material.
