Thick Film Printed Circuit Resistors are screen printed layers of
resistive, conductive and/or dielectric pastes deposited on different
types of substrates, like FR, CEM, Alumina, Polyester, Polyimide,
PA, Dielectric on Metal etc.
There are two basic technologies depending on the type of pastes
applied: Carbon and Cermet
Potentiometer Tracks is the type of Printed Circuit Resistors that
ACP specializes in. This is one of our core competences and it is
the heart of all our potentiometer families. Our know-how includes
the expertise in the different technologies involved in the production
process:
– Pastes and inks formulation and blending
– Screen printing in type C (class 10.000) clean room
– Curing or Sintering
– Laser trimming
– Automated testing
Applications where Potentiometer Tracks can be applied can be classified in two major types: 1) Position Sensors and 2) Switches & Controls. Examples in different markets are listed below.
