MacDermid Alpha Micromax 1173 is an Ag nickel platable termination paste designed for MLCC surface mount applications — compatible with low, mid and high firing dielectrics with 780°C fast firing.
MacDermid Alpha Micromax 1173 is a silver-based nickel platable termination paste specifically developed for multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) termination in surface mount applications. This composition is optimized for application by dipping and offers excellent compatibility with low, mid and high firing MLCC dielectrics. The paste provides reliable nickel platable performance for subsequent plating processes.
This termination paste features a solid content of 74.2-75.2% with a viscosity range of 19-26 Pa.s for consistent dipping application. It supports drying at 110°C for 20 minutes in static oven conditions, with an alternative profiled belt drying cycle of 8 minutes at 180°C peak. Firing is performed at 780°C peak temperature with 40°C/min heating and cooling rates. The cadmium, lead and phthalate-free formulation meets international environmental standards including RoHS and REACH. Standard packaging options are 100G and 1000G.
