Ventec to Demo Latest PCB Material Innovations at JPCA
May 31, 2018 | VentecEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. will showcase its latest PCB material technology innovations at the JPCA show, which is taking place at the Tokyo Big Sight East Hall from June 6-8 in Japan. The Ventec technology team will be on hand on booth #7B-32 showcasing unique laminate & prepreg capability solutions including the latest tec-speed 20.0 material – a Dk 3.48 ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material designed for high frequency applications.
Didier Mauve (Global Account Manager OEM Technology), Bill Wang (Technical & Quality Director) and Will Zhang (Staff Engineer) will be at JPCA to demonstrate the company’s firm commitment to the Japanese market and further strengthen its position as a global leader in technology for high performance thermal management and signal integrity materials.
Show highlights will include:
tec-speed 20.0
tec-speed 20.0 (VT-870) combines unrivaled high frequency performance (Dk 3.48 / Df 0.0037), superior loss characteristics and the highest reliability with fast availability and efficient delivery through Ventec’s fully controlled and managed global supply chain and technical support-network. tec-speed 20.0 is designed for the world's most demanding high-frequency PCB applications such as cellular base station antennas, power amplifiers, LNB for broadcast satellites, automotive radar and RFID.
VT-5A2
VT-5A2 offers a polymer matrix that is fully compatible with Ventec laminates, epoxy or polyimide-based materials including tec-speed, making it the ideal choice for the manufacture of hybrid multilayer low-loss constructions. VT-5A2 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 150°C. VT-5A2 is lead-free assembly compatible, fulfills RoHS and WEEE requirements and complies with UL94 V0.
VT-4B Series IMS
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. The tiny minimum radius eases fitting in tight spaces, for an elegantly engineered assembly. The extremely flexible dielectric will not crack or peel. Thermal conductivity 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: LED lighting, high power-density converters, power supplies, automotive lighting and controls. 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-901 (IPC QPL Listed)
Where mechanical strength and high-temperature stability are critical, VT-901 polyimide substrate has high flex strength, high glass temperature (Tg), low z-axis CTE, and long T260 and T288 times – to maintain dimensional stability and integrity even under harsh loads. VT-901 is a safe non-MDA formula, with low outgassing tested and approved by NASA, available as laminate or prepreg. Ventec’s proprietary resin system is produced entirely in-house, giving ultimate supply-chain security and quality assurance. Outstanding electrical performance offers high resistivity for electrical isolation, and resistance to arcing, tracking, and dielectric breakdown. Low dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df) ensure excellent signal integrity for computing and communications.
All these and more can be seen at the Ventec JPCA booth #7B-32.

Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
Trouble in Your Tank: Minimizing Small-via Defects for High-reliability PCBs
08/27/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankTo quote the comedian Stephen Wright, “If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you.” That can be the battle cry when you find that only small-diameter vias are exhibiting voids. Why are small holes more prone to voids than larger vias when processed through electroless copper? There are several reasons.
The Government Circuit: Navigating New Trade Headwinds and New Partnerships
08/25/2025 | Chris Mitchell -- Column: The Government CircuitAs global trade winds continue to howl, the electronics manufacturing industry finds itself at a critical juncture. After months of warnings, the U.S. Government has implemented a broad array of tariff increases, with fresh duties hitting copper-based products, semiconductors, and imports from many nations. On the positive side, tentative trade agreements with Europe, China, Japan, and other nations are providing at least some clarity and counterbalance.
How Good Design Enables Sustainable PCBs
08/21/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectSustainability has become a key focus for PCB companies seeking to reduce waste, conserve energy, and optimize resources. While many discussions on sustainability center around materials or energy-efficient processes, PCB design is an often overlooked factor that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Good design practices, especially those based on established IPC standards, play a central role in enabling sustainable PCB production. By ensuring designs are manufacturable and reliable, engineers can significantly reduce the environmental impact of their products.
