That's a great question if you're asking about using it on Venus. Copper melts at 1084 C, so you're good there for springs, conductors and contacts. You'd need insulation for wires and circuit boards: something like fiberglass weave would be good up to 537C. No solder, wire wrap, steel posts.
Resistors and capacitors for RC circuits should be similar, carbon is good and capacitors are insulator/conductor layers.
I suspect making a temperature controlled oscillator will be very hard. This means power supply AC current might be hard to make.
Anyway rebuilding OP's computer that can run in your kitchen oven would be a nice hobby goal.

- frabert 6y ago> Copper melts at 1084 C, so you're good there for springs Would you really be able to make a spring out of copper? It is my understanding that copper work hardens very quickly, which is a big no-no if you're making a spring, I guess
- imglorp 6y agoTrue, bad idea, anyway there's many metals for that including steel, etc.
- opwieurposiu 6y agoFor springs you have to use Beryllium copper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryllium_copper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryllium_copper
- swiley 6y agoThe spring constant/youngs modulus probably changes with temperature. Making a relay work reliably over that kind of range sounds difficult.
