MacDermid Alpha Micromax 2104 is a low-noise resistor paste from the 2100 Series, offering 2.8-4 Ω/sq with exceptional TCR of ±50 ppm/°C and ultra-low noise ≤-35 dB. Featuring fast 30-minute 850°C firing and thin print capability (16-20 μm) — engineered for precision hybrid circuits requiring superior temperature stability.
Part of the Micromax 2100 Series, Micromax 2104 is a low-noise resistor paste engineered for hybrid circuits requiring exceptional TCR performance. This composition delivers exceptional temperature stability with hot TCR of -50 to 50 ppm/°C and cold TCR of -50 to 50 ppm/°C — significantly better than conventional resistor pastes. The paste offers ultra-low noise of ≤-35 dB, making it ideal for precision analog and sensitive signal conditioning applications. The 2100 Series offers no blend breaks from 1Ω to 10MΩ/sq, providing design flexibility.
With a sheet resistivity of 2.8-4 Ω/sq, Micromax 2104 supports low-to-medium resistance applications in hybrid circuits. The paste is optimized for 325-mesh screens with 5-10 μm emulsion thickness, producing a thin dried film thickness of 16-20 μm. Drying is performed at 150°C for 10 minutes. The fast 30-minute firing cycle with a 10-minute peak at 850°C improves production throughput. The material is compatible with Micromax 5164N Pt/Ag high-silver terminations as well as Pd/Ag terminations. Available in 100G and 1000G containers.
