Ventec Passes AS9100 Revision D Transition Audit in China and UK
January 17, 2018 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group is pleased to announce that the company headquarters in Suzhou, China and its European headquarters in the United Kingdom have both successfully passed the transition audit to AS9100 Revision D with zero non-conformances in accordance with the Aerospace Supplier Quality System Certification Scheme. SGS, the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company have received recommendation to issue the upgrade certification to AS9100 Revision D for both locations.
With the transition audit passes to AS9100 Revision D at Ventec’s China and UK facilities, OEMs and PCB fabrication 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. From manufacture through fabrication and global delivery, Ventec's high quality product portfolio of polyimides, high reliability FR-4, tec-speed range of high speed/low loss materials and tec-thermal range of IMS materials are all covered by the accreditation.
Mark Goodwin, COO commented: “Achieving highest supply chain standards is paramount to our successful growth and I’m delighted with our recent successful re-certification audits in China and the UK. The results reflect the hard work of our entire team in implementing and practicing the highest levels of quality throughout our supply chain, enabling our PCB and OEM customers to engage Ventec as a strategic partner in their safety critical supply chains, based not just on the proven performance of our materials but on our commitment to managing delivered quality to the highest standards.”

Unlocking Advanced Circuitry Through Liquid Metal Ink
10/31/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPCB UHDI technologist John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing and the critical role of innovation, specifically liquid metal ink technology, as an alternate process to traditional metallization in PCB fabrication to achieve ever finer features and tighter tolerances. The discussion highlights the benefits of reliability, efficiency, and yields as a tradeoff to any increased cost to run the process. As this technology becomes better understood and accepted, even sought out by customers and designers, John says there is a move toward mainstream incorporation.
Fresh PCB Concepts: The Critical Nature of Copper Thickness on PCBs
10/31/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsPCBs are the backbone of modern electronics and the copper layers within these boards serve as the primary pathways for electrical signals. When designing and manufacturing PCBs, copper thickness is one of the most critical factors and significantly affects the board’s performance and durability. The IPC-6012F specification, the industry standard for the performance and qualification of rigid PCBs, sets clear guidelines on copper thickness to ensure reliability in different environments and applications.
Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... DFM Essentials, Ch. 1
10/25/2024 | I-Connect007The guidelines offered in this book are based on both ASC recommendations and IPC standards with the understanding that some may require adjustment based on the material set, fabricator processes, and other design constraints. This chapter details high-frequency materials, copper foil types, metal core PCBs, and the benefits of embedded capacitance and resistor materials in multilayer PCBs.
The Cost-Benefit Analysis of Direct Metallization
10/21/2024 | Carmichael Gugliotti, MacDermid AlphaCarmichael Gugliotti of MacDermid Alpha discusses the innovative realm of direct metallization technology, its numerous applications, and significant advantages over traditional processes. Carmichael offers an in-depth look at how direct metallization, through developments such as Blackhole and Shadow, is revolutionizing PCB manufacturing by enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. From its origins in the 1980s to its application in cutting-edge, high-density interconnects and its pivotal role in sustainability, this discussion sheds light on how direct metallization shapes the future of PCB manufacturing across various industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, and beyond.
Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Pattern Plating
10/16/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIn the previous episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we painted the picture of the outer layer imaging process. Now we are ready for pattern plating, where fabrication can get tricky. The board is now ready to receive the copper traces, pads, and other elements specified in the original CAD design. This article will lay out the pattern plating process and discuss constraints in the chemistries that must be properly managed to meet the customer's exacting manufacturing tolerances.
