Ventec at IPC APEX EXPO 2019—Delivering on Price, Performance and Availability for High Frequency PCB Materials
January 17, 2019 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. will be showcasing its latest high reliability PCB materials on booth #417 at IPC APEX EXPO 2019 in San Diego from 29-31 January. A key focus at the show will be Ventec's extended ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material series tec-speed 20.0 which is designed for the world's most demanding high frequency printed circuit board applications. The global Ventec team will be on hand to present the company's unique laminate and prepreg capability across a very wide range of applications and budgets.
Following on from its global launch at electronica in November last year, Ventec's extended tec-speed 20.0 range of ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material series will make its US debut at IPC APEX EXPO2019. Combining 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, the tec-speed 20.0 series offers excellent dimensional stability and uniform mechanical properties that help limit PIM. The extended tec-speed 20.0 range is already proving to be very popular with customers demanding high-performance, reliable and cost-efficient high frequency materials that are supported by a fast and efficient global delivery promise and dependable technical support.
PCB-Material Showcase
Booth visitors are invited to view Ventec's product & material showcase, which will demonstrate a range of PCB material applications including power- and LED lighting modules. The showcase will illustrate examples of IMS boards combined with FR-4 control boards made with Ventec's high performance and highly reliable IMS materials like VT-4B5SP, VT-4B5L and VT-4B7.
Automotive Executive Forum Presentation
Automotive manufacturers around the world already rely on Ventec's thermal management materials for a range of applications including LED headlights, ECU, break energy reclamation & e-power train, establishing Ventec as a global leader in technology for high performance thermal management materials. At the IPC's Automotive Executive Forum on 28 January, Ventec's Technology Ambassador Alun Morgan has been invited to present his paper on 'Developing Universal Solutions to Automotive Materials Challenges'. Alun's presentation will demonstrate how Ventec was able to quickly develop thermal management solutions for challenging automotive applications by working collaboratively with Tier 1 automotive suppliers.
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.

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.
