Ventec at APEC 2019: Thermal Management and IMS Solutions for Power Electronics
March 6, 2019 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group will showcase its latest power electronics PCB material technology innovations at APEC 2019, which is taking place at the Anaheim Convention Center from March 18-20 in Anaheim, California, USA. The Ventec technology team will be on hand on booth #438 showcasing unique laminate & prepreg capability solutions designed for the most demanding thermal applications.
Ventec is set to further strengthen its position as a global leader in technology for high-performance thermal management and signal integrity materials at the Applied Power Electronics Conference in Anaheim, USA on booth #438.
Show highlights include:
VT-4B Series IMS – thermal conductivity from 1.0 to 10.0 W/m.K
For superior thermal dissipation of an insulated metal substrate (IMS), VT-4B series materials offer the perfect performance and properties. VT-4B1 is designed for bending and forming with thermal conductivity of 1.0 W/m.K, for minimum Zth 0.078°C*in2/W. From VT-4B3 to VT-4B9, the family provides a broad choice of thermal performance: 3 W/m.K to 10.0 W/m.K, and minimum Zth from 0.026°C*in2/W to 0.0078°C*in2/W satisfy demanding applications including high power-density converters and power supplies. For direct-to-metal connection of electrically isolated heat sources, VT-4B5SP selective preference substrates ensure maximum thermal efficiency and place dielectric insulation only where needed.
VT-5A2—Highest performance thermally conductive laminate material
The perfect choice for hybrid multilayer low-loss constructions, VT-5A2 offers a polymer matrix that is fully compatible with Ventec laminates, epoxy or polyimide-based materials including tec-speed. The lead-free assembly compatible material sets itself apart by offering highest performance thermal conductivity 8 times that of FR-4 at 2.2 W/m.K, a high Tg of 190°C, best in class thermal performance (T260 >60 minutes, T288 >30 minutes and T300 >15 minutes) and MOT of 130°C.
tec-speed 20.0—No more compromises—performance, price & availability
Power amplifiers are one of the world's most demanding printed circuit board applications where high frequency performance, loss characteristics and reliability are key. tec-speed 20.0 (VT-870) offers all three and more: unrivalled performance with Dk 3.00-3.48 and Df 0.002-0.0037, superior loss characteristics and highest reliability, combined with fast availability and efficient delivery through Ventec’s fully controlled and managed global supply chain and technical support-network.
Thermal Interface Materials
As a perfect complement to Ventec’s IMS material families, thermally conductive and standard laminates and prepregs for multilayer PCB’s, EMI Thermal’s thermal interface materials (TIM) will be presented on the booth. The range of materials distributed through Ventec includes double-sided thermal tape, electrical insulators, natural graphite and void fillers, that ensure reliability and performance and prevent electronic components from overheating and being damaged or burnt out.

Trouble in Your Tank: Supporting IC Substrates and Advanced Packaging, Part 5
03/19/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite or carbon dispersion are quickly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the environmental and productivity gains one can achieve with these processes are outstanding. In today’s highly competitive and litigious environment, direct metallization reduces costs associated with compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. What makes these processes leaders in the direct metallization space?

The Chemical Connection: Getting to Know Your Vendor
02/16/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAfter working for a capital equipment supplier for almost 50 years, I’ve found that the most important part of getting to know your vendor is good communication among all parties. While contact between fabricators of a constantly changing product line and the designers of those products may occur daily or weekly, conversations between you and your equipment supplier may be years apart. That lengthy gap often means that previous contacts may have been promoted, retired, or moved on to other opportunities. You may have also migrated to a new supplier with whom you have little or no history. In either case, you will be interacting with someone you are unfamiliar with (as they are with you). Therefore, it is essential for both sides to communicate clearly so expectations will align.
