External Termination Materials.

NEWS!

Latest news on our range of Polymeric Termination Inks for all forms of Multilayer devices.

Our new products are fully polymeric in nature with only sufficent Precious metal in them so that thay are electroplatable. These new materials only need a low temperature curing cycle before the electroplating baths. The permanant polymeric film gives high bond strength and a degree of flexibility that normal termination inks lack. Our collaborators and test facilities report exciting results - contact us for further information or select from our normal firing range below.

Multilayer Varistors.

Precious metal or base metal pastes can be formulated to suit the specific requirements of the varistor manufacturer. The materials are custom designed to suit the individual varistor oxide mixture the adhesion mechanism is then adjusted accordingly.

These can be provided in a number of different application media.

Systems include:

Silver
Examples are:
- Metal loading at 72% Ag
- Metal loading at 62% low viscosity
- Metal loading at 62% high viscosity.
Silver (electroplatable)
Silver / Palladium

Multilayer N.T.C.

Termination Inks are formulated for ceramic based NTC Thermistors.

These can be compounded for dipping/spraying or screen printing applications. By selection of the adhesion agents various firing temperatures can be obtained.

Base metal inks that are air fireable are currently under investigation.

A typical Silver based system are found in our latest data

Multilayer P.Z.T.

These materials are especially compounded to resist migration after poling. Systems are also available for mechanical contact use or contacting by soldering. The normal pastes are designed to fire in the region of 600°C to 900°C. A typical example is a 55Ag:1Pd paste. This can be found in our latest data

Pastes are available to fire at lower temperatures to suit the newer ceramic materials, also metallo-organic systems have been used to give thin layers on other Ferro-electric components. A typical example is , found in our latest data or by contcting us to discuss your applicationscreen printing gold metallo-organic.
