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.

The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
