Ventec Extends tec-speed 20.0 Series of Low PIM Antenna-Grade Laminates
December 13, 2018 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. has added four new low passive intermodulation (PIM) antenna-grade laminates to its tec-speed 20.0 ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material series. These latest additions combine unrivaled high-frequency performance (Dk 3.00-3.48 / Df 0.002-0.0037), 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.
No More Compromises—Performance, Price & Availability
The tec-speed 20.0 series, which is designed for the world's most demanding high frequency Printed Circuit Board applications, has now been extended with four new low PIM antenna-grade laminates: L300, L330, L340 and H348. These ceramic-filled, hydrocarbon thermoset materials offer excellent dimensional stability and uniform mechanical properties that help limit PIM.
Preserving signal integrity up to high-GHz frequencies, dielectric constant (Dk) specifications range from 3.0 to 3.48 at 10GHz and dissipation factor (Df) from 0.0025 to 0.0037 at 10 GHz giving customers a choice of the most effective material for their design. All four new materials offer first-rate processability, unrivaled RF characteristics and excellent thermal conductivity values that are ideally suited to cope with the heat generated by high-power levels. Most notable are the outstanding PIM levels of ≦-160 dBc and UL-V0 Flammability rating for the entire series.
With tec-speed 20.0, Ventec has responded to customer demands for high-performance, reliable and cost-efficient high frequency materials that are supported by a fast and efficient global delivery promise and dependable technical support.
tec-speed 20.0 ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset materials are manufactured by Ventec using strict quality-controlled processes that are certified to AS9100 Revision D, ISO/TS16949 and ISO 9001:2015, and, like all Ventec products, are backed by a fully controlled and managed global supply chain, sales- and technical support-network.

Jiva Leading the Charge Toward Sustainable Innovation
09/30/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineEnvironmental sustainability in business—product circularity—is a high priority these days. “Circularity,” the term meant to replace “recycling,” in its simplest definition, describes a full circle life for electronic products and all their elements. The result is re-use or a near-complete reintroduction of the base materials back into the supply chain, leaving very little left for waste. For what cannot be reused productively, the ultimate hope is to have better, less harmful means of disposal and/or materials that can seamlessly and harmlessly decompose and integrate back into the natural environment. That is where Jiva and Soluboard come in.
