Aerospace Supplier Quality System Certification (AS9100 Rev C) Audit Success at Ventec's UK Facility
February 6, 2017 | VentecEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International is proud to announce that its European headquarters in the United Kingdom continues to be fully accredited to AS9100 Revision C, in accordance with the Aerospace Supplier Quality System Certification Scheme. Re-certification was granted after successfully passing the comprehensive audit of the facility's quality management system with zero non-conformances.
Board designers, specifiers of board materials, fabricators and OEM customers servicing the aviation, space and defense industries can continue to rely on Ventec's fully accredited supply chain for high reliability laminates and prepregs, particularly Ventec's IPC4101D/40/41-standard VT-901 laminate. From manufacture through fabrication and delivery, Ventec's high quality product portfolio of polyimides, high reliability FR4 and 'tec-speed' range of high speed/low loss materials are all covered by the accreditation.
"In a significantly more competitive environment with tighter regulatory demands across industries, customers are looking to strategically partner with Ventec not only for the supply of PCB materials with consistent quality for high-reliability performance, but also based on our commitment to delivering managed quality to the highest standards", said Mark Goodwin, COO Europe & USA Ventec International Group. "By ensuring AS9100 Rev C certification at our Leamington Spa, UK facility, we reconfirm our committed approach to structuring our quality management systems to meet the strictest requirements of the international aerospace and defense industries."

The Chemical Connection: Reducing Etch System Water Usage, Part 2
05/02/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionIn my last column, I reviewed some relatively simple ways to reduce water usage in existing etch systems: cutting down cooling coil water flow, adding chillers to replace plant water for cooling, lowering flow rate nozzles for rinses, etc. This month, I’ll continue with more ways to control water usage in your etcher. Most of these are not easily retrofittable to existing equipment but should be given serious consideration when new equipment is contemplated. With the right combination of add-ons, it is possible to bring the amount of water used in an etch system to almost zero.
Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
