MacDermid Alpha Micromax 1921 is a medium-ohm resistor paste from the 1900 Series, specifically formulated for palladium silver multilayer hybrid circuits. Offering 80-120 Ω/sq sheet resistivity with a fast 30-minute 850°C firing cycle — engineered for high-yield production over Micromax 5704 dielectric.
Part of the Micromax 1900 Series materials system, Micromax 1921 is a medium-resistance resistor paste engineered for palladium silver multilayer hybrid circuits demanding high stability and reliability. This composition delivers TCR values within ±100 ppm/°C with palladium silver terminations over Micromax 5704 dielectric, and maintains excellent post-laser trim stability after thermal cycling, shock, and extended storage. The system is optimized for a 30-minute firing cycle, enabling significantly faster throughput compared to conventional thick film processes.
With a sheet resistivity of 80-120 Ω/sq, Micromax 1921 supports medium-ohm resistor applications in multilayer configurations. The paste is optimized for 200-mesh screens with 8-12 μm emulsion thickness, producing a dried film thickness of 22-28 μm. The 30-minute firing cycle with a 10-minute peak at 850°C is compatible with palladium/silver conductors Micromax 6134 and 7484R, over Micromax 5704 dielectric on 96% alumina substrates. The 1900 Series offers blendability within two sub-series groups. Available in 100G and 1000G containers.
