MacDermid Alpha Micromax 5465 Cost-Effective Platable Ag/Pd C1 Termination for Chip Resistors
Type: Platable Ag/Pd C1 Termination
Application: Chip Resistor
Solids: 71.8–73.8%
Shelf Life: 6 months
Micromax 5465 is a platable lead-free, cadmium-free silver/palladium C1 termination for chip resistors. It combines a cost-effective silver/palladium composition with high acid resistance, a dense fired film, fast firing on an 850°C/30 min profile, and compatibility with Micromax 00X1Z and OFxxA resistor series.
Micromax 5465 from MacDermid Alpha is a platable lead-free, cadmium-free silver/palladium C1 termination paste developed specifically for chip resistor applications. It is positioned for low cost, high performance, and green product requirements. The composition uses a cost-effective silver/palladium system that delivers a dense fired film and high acid resistance after firing. Fast firing on the standard 850°C / 30 min profile fits typical belt furnace processing, and the paste is compatible with the Micromax 00X1Z and OFxxA resistor series.
The paste carries 71.8–73.8% solids, with fineness of grind at ≤20 μm and ≤10 μm. Micromax 4553 is the listed solvent or thinner. Firing follows the standard Micromax QA Profile: a 30-minute cycle with a peak of 850°C held for 10 minutes. As with other Micromax termination pastes, thorough mixing before use is recommended to redisperse any settled solids. Store sealed at 5–30°C; unopened shelf life is 6 months from date of shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 5465 called cost-effective compared with other Ag/Pd terminations?
The TDS lists a cost effective silver/palladium composition as a product benefit. Compared with high-Pd products like 5427 (10% Pd) or 5418 (18% Pd), 5465 is positioned for lower material cost while still delivering a dense fired film and high acid resistance.
Which resistor series are compatible with 5465?
The TDS lists compatibility with the Micromax 00X1Z and OFxxA resistor series. This makes 5465 suitable for chip resistor builds that already use those resistor systems.
What firing profile does 5465 use?
The standard Micromax QA Profile: 850°C peak with 10-minute holding time on a 30-minute cycle. Ascending rate is 100°C/min from 200°C to 500°C, and descending rate is 85°C/min from 700°C to 300°C.
Does 5465 produce a dense fired film?
Yes. The TDS lists a dense fired film as a product benefit. This supports reliable termination performance and post-plating adhesion in chip resistor assemblies.
What is the solid content of 5465?
The solid content is 71.8 to 73.8 percent. Fineness of grind is ≤20 μm and ≤10 μm.
Is 5465 free of cadmium, lead, nickel and phthalate?
Per the TDS, cadmium, lead, nickel, and phthalate are not intentional ingredients and are not intentionally added. Trace amounts may be present. Customers with strict compliance thresholds should verify against their own requirements.
What thinner should be used with 5465?
Micromax 4553 is the listed solvent or thinner. Using the recommended thinner helps keep viscosity and print behavior consistent with the TDS values.
