Our resistor thick film paste technology creates highly dense, extremely durable electronic circuits. Resistor thick film paste systems are manufactured either from silver, silver-platinum or silver-palladium systems. These systems have controlled resistances and thermal coefficient of resistances (TCR).
We work closely with our customers to ensure swift adoption of these materials including site visits to run print trials, analysis of printed products at our extensive technology centre in the UK to ensure excellent reliability and rapid supply of materials (typically shipping within 5 - 10 days). If needed, we can rapidly tailor formulations for specific customer requirements.
Benefits of our Printed Resistor Thick Film Paste systems:
- Printed Resistors offering excellent levels of durability
- Controlled Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR)
- Controlled Resistance
- Compatible with DM-SIP-14001 for end terminations and Dycotec insulator dielectric pastes such as DM-INS-14100
- RoHS compliant
