A typical example is the technique of Silver Jumpers (also called Silver Cross Overs). The same technique, suitably modified, allows to obtain also through holes (Silver Trough Holes).<br \/>\nThe electrical resistivity of this kind of product is in the range of 20-30 m\u03a9\/\u25a1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>COPPER<\/strong><br \/>\nSimilar to silver-based pastes but with copper particles as conductive element, it offers the possibility to realize, in addition to through holes, also layers dedicated to the shielding of the printed circuit against electromagnetic interference, both in reception and emission.<br \/>\nThe resistivity of the pastes based on copper is similar to the silver based ones, around 20-30 m\u03a9\/\u25a1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CARBON<\/strong><br \/>\nThe graphite (carbon) based inks can be divided essentially into two groups: conductive products, with values of electrical resistivity from 10 to 30 \u03a9\/\u25a1, and resistive products, available in a wide range of resistivity values, from 100 \u03a9\/\u25a1 to even different \u03a9\/\u25a1. The first can be used for contacts, jumpers, shieldings, etc., while the resistive products allow to realize real electronic components at solid state, printed directly on the printed circuit boiard and coplanar to the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PRINTED RESISTORS<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the field of PTF technology and using resistive carbon pastes, a typical application which SILGA can offer are screen printed resistors.<br \/>\nSelecting appropriately the product it is possible to obtain resistors with different ohmic values and during the project step, in collaboration with the customer, it is possible to define the best lay-out configuration of the resistive network.<br \/>\nFinally, for particular applications, we can obtain very tight tolerances on the ohmic value of the component through laser trimming technology.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Laser trimming&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;laser-trimming&#8221;]<div class=\"section-title-wrapper text-left shortcode-rand-2 factrie-inline-css\" data-css=\"&quot;.shortcode-rand-2 .title-separator.separator-border { background-color: ; }.shortcode-rand-2 .section-title { text-transform: none; }&quot;\"><div class=\"title-wrap\"><h2 class=\"section-title\">Laser trimming<\/h2><\/div><!-- .title-wrap --><span class=\"title-separator separator-border\"><\/span><div class=\"section-description\"><\/div><!-- .section-description --><\/div><!-- .section-title-wrapper -->[vc_column_text]Applying a technology derived from hybrid printed circuits with proper modifications, Silga is able to carry out the laser <strong>calibration<\/strong> of the ohmic value of resistors, which are printed by PTF technology.
