MacDermid Alpha Micromax 1197F is a Ni platable silver termination paste with high viscosity for small MLC dipping — delivers high mechanical strength and thermal shock stability with 690°C firing.
MacDermid Alpha Micromax 1197F is a Ni platable silver termination paste specifically developed for multilayer capacitor (MLC) applications. This composition features a higher viscosity than typical MLC terminations, making it particularly suitable for dipping small size capacitor bodies. The paste delivers high mechanical strength for reliable component performance and high thermal shock stability to withstand demanding processing conditions.
This termination paste is optimized for carrier plate dipping applications, with a solid content of 76-78% and a viscosity range of 100-130 Pa.s for consistent dipping performance. It can be dried in a box oven at 120-150°C for 10 minutes or using a programmed belt dryer at 150-180°C peak temperature for 8-12 minutes. The paste is fired on a 40-minute cycle at 690°C peak temperature held for 5-10 minutes. The cadmium-free and lead-free formulation meets international environmental standards including RoHS and REACH. Standard packaging options are 100G and 1000G.
