WR Grace's has a Minico product line of conductive inks. You might want to contact them. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: re: FAB: Conductive epoxy/ink circuitry.

Cy, Several years ago in the same small town as our company was a firm called "Additive Technology", or something close. They called themselves "The Wire Ink People", and were specializing in reworking life's little "gotchas". Seems to my addled memory that they were once called upon to add decoupling caps to a PWB that had caught a case of "Automatic Re- moval of Components in ECO" combined with a slippery exit ramp, or maybe I'm recalling a bad dream. Here's a possible Goose Chase... Two towns away, there is a listing for something close-sounding. I'd ring them for you, but hey, it's midnight. Here's the info, *maybe* it's the same folks: Add Tech Incorporated 330 Boston Rd Billerica, MA USA 01821 phone 508 553 2121 Alta Vista gives a few clues, Kester has a new product, Ormet 1200, that is "a new screen printable, electrically conductive and solderable ink that exhibits excellent conductivity. It is a natural replacement for hand soldered jumper wires, which have traditionally been used to modify assemblies. Ormet. is applied before assembly, , making traces less noticeable, more reliable and aesthetically pleasing." ... please call 1-800-2-KESTER or fax (847)-390-9338. See http://www.kester.com/kiver.htm Another approach might be polymer thick film, but this thread appears to be geared toward conductive adhesives rather than flow solder.
