MacDermid Alpha Micromax 1713 is a screen-printable resistor material covering 10Ω/sq up to 1MΩ/sq. It maintains stable electrical readings across temperature changes and limits resistance drift after laser trimming, ideal for volume manufacturing of hybrid microcircuits.
Part of the Series 1700 materials system, MacDermid Alpha Micromax 1713 is a thick-film resistor paste formulated for high reliability hybrid circuit applications that demand consistent electrical performance, superior temperature stability, and minimal resistance shift after laser trimming. This composition exhibits TCRs below 100 ppm/°C even with blended resistor formulations, along with low sensitivity to firing profile variations, peak temperature drift, and resistor geometry changes — making it a robust choice for production environments.
The paste supports a wide sheet resistivity range from 10Ω/sq to 1MΩ/sq, enabling precision resistor network designs across diverse resistance values. It is optimized for 200-mesh stainless steel screens with 12-18 μm emulsion thickness, producing a dried film thickness of 22-28 μm. A 60-minute air firing cycle with a 10-minute peak hold at 850°C delivers optimal electrical characteristics. The material is fully compatible with Micromax 7484R Ag/Pd conductor terminations and is available in 100G and 1000G standard packaging.
