| DM-SIP-14033S-6-1 | Silver/palladium (6:1) solderable cermet paste for screen printing heater terminations, balancing leach resistance against palladium cost between the 3:1 and 80:20 grades. Fires at 850 °C with a smooth, dense layer on alumina, glass, Dycotec dielectrics, and other ceramics. Mixed bonded system. | Heater Terminations | Good leach resistance, Solderable | Screen | Ceramic, Dycotec Dielectric, Glass, Steel | 850 | heater-terminations | screen | ceramic dycotec-dielectric glass steel |
Our silver-palladium conductor thick film paste technology creates highly dense, extremely durable electronic circuits. These silver palladium conductive thick film paste systems contain varying levels of palladium to improve leach resistance and therefore solderability.
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 Silver Palladium Conductive Thick Film Paste systems:
- Conductors offering excellent levels of durability
- Silver alloy systems with varying levels of palladium to improve solderability. Excellent solderability with SAC and Sn95/Ag5 solder paste systems
- RoHS compliant
