MacDermid Alpha Micromax 4078 is a 4:1 Ag/Pd termination composition designed for Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLC) in surface mounted applications. Offering 75.5-76.5% solid content with 780-850°C firing — compatible with all MLC dielectrics per TDS specifications.
Micromax 4078 is a 4/1 Ag/Pd MLC termination composition specifically engineered for Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors used in surface mounted applications. This termination paste is compatible with all MLC dielectrics, providing excellent solder leach performance and reliable termination quality. The composition is optimized for dip application using a Chipstar or carrier plate termination system, with a recommended minimum band width of 15 mils.
With a solid content of 75.5-76.5% and viscosity of 60-80 Pa.s per TDS specifications, Micromax 4078 delivers consistent application performance. Drying is performed at 140-160°C for 10-15 minutes, or using an 8-minute belt drier cycle with 180°C peak. The firing profile features a peak temperature of 780-850°C with heating and cooling rates of 40°C/min, requiring an 8.5-minute soak above 765°C. Available in standard packaging.
