Default Buying strip brass

Bit of an odd question, but I would like to buy some thin brass strips,
but no idea how 'thin' when looking at quoted measurements.

What I would like is brass strip as used on old 4.5v batteries. Firm
yet springy. Does that make sense? What sort of thickness should I be
looking for? I know how long and wide I need.


I suspect you want phosphor bronze, rather than brass, if you want it
springy. Thickness is difficult to say without being able to know how
springy you want it.
