Ventec’s High-Speed/Low-Loss/High-Frequency Material Technology Takes Center Stage at U.S. Expos
January 20, 2020 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd., a world leader in the production of polyimide and high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs and specialist provider of thermal management and IMS solutions, will feature its brand new and enhanced set of high-performance, high-reliability high-speed/low-loss/high-frequency materials at the upcoming DesignCon and IPC APEX Expos. The Ventec technology team will be in Santa Clara (CA) at DesignCon on Booth #205 and key company executives will be joined by the US-team at IPC APEX EXPO in San Diego (CA) on booth #4434.
DesignCon, Santa Clara (CA) – Booth #205 (28-30 January)
With the rapid rise of 5G and sophisticated radar applications in automotive and other sectors, the demand and requirements for low loss and high frequency material is accelerating. On booth #205, visitors are invited to discover Ventec’s laminate and prepreg solutions that deliver the required superior electrical performance demanded by today’s 5G and radar application requirements.
The show will see the US-market launch and roll-out of tec-speed 30.0—Ventec’s latest ceramic filled high-frequency PTFE material range that offers the highest signal-integrity characteristics for the most advanced high-frequency systems such as 77~79 GHz automotive radar systems.
tec-speed 30.0 (VT-3703) offers:
- Dk 3.0 with extremely low Df (0.0009)
- DK-stability versus temperature
- Lower in-plane thermal expansion
The current Dk 3.0 tec-speed 30.0 version will be supplemented by Dk 6.15 and Dk 10.2 versions in the first half of 2020, offering an even wider range of options for applications such as automotive radar, cellular base stations, power amplifiers & antennas, global positioning satellite antennas, patch antennas for wireless communication or power backplanes.
Also featured will be the tec-speed 20.0 range of high frequency laminates & prepregs designed to preserve signal integrity up to high-GHz frequencies. tec-speed 20.0 has extremely low 3.0-3.48 Dk and 0.002-0.0037 Df minimizing insertion losses, giving more freedom to optimize copper trace widths, spacing, and PCB thickness to suit your application.
IPC APEX, San Diego (CA)—Booth #4434 (4-6 February)
Ventec will once again be exhibiting at IPC APEX on booth #4434 to present the company’s unique laminate & prepreg capability across a very wide range of applications and budgets—all supported by a fast and efficient global delivery promise through Ventec's fully controlled and managed global supply chain and world-class dependable technical support. The key focus will be:
- The US-market launch of ‘autolam’ – a base material solutions set specifically curated for the diverse and unique requirements of automotive applications;
- tec-speed 6.0: High-speed, high-frequency material technology for applications requiring great signal integrity and low-Dk benefits with high reliability. Ventec’s material formula also features high Conductive Anodic Filament (CAF) resistance to offer highest assurance of reliability in humid environments;
- tec-speed 7.0 & 7.1: High-speed, ultra-low-loss multilayer materials that offer excellent signal integrity for extremely high-speed applications. By combining low dielectric constant (Dk) for highly efficient power transmission with low dissipation factor (Df) for minimum signal loss up to high bit rates, tec-speed 7.0 & 7.1 can handle all in-car networking from MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) and FlexRay to multi-Gigabit Ethernet;
- tec-speed 20.0: Few substrate materials can match the high-speed signal-handling performance of this ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material series. tec-speed 20.0 combines unrivaled high-frequency performance (Dk 3.00-3.48 / Df 0.002-0.0037), superior loss characteristics and highest reliability particularly demanded by automotive and 5G applications.

50% Copper Tariffs, 100% Chip Uncertainty, and a Truce
08/19/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007If you’re like me, tariffs were not on your radar screen until a few months ago, but now political rhetoric has turned to presidential action. Tariffs are front-page news with major developments coming directly from the Oval Office. These are not typical times. President Donald Trump campaigned on tariff reform, and he’s now busy revamping America’s tariff policy.
Global PCB Connections: Understanding the General Fabrication Process—A Designer’s Hidden Advantage
08/14/2025 | Markus Voeltz -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsDesigners don’t need to become fabricators, but understanding the basics of PCB fabrication can save you time, money, and frustration. The more you understand what’s happening on the shop floor, the better you’ll be able to prevent downstream issues. As you move into more advanced designs like HDI, flex circuits, stacked vias, and embedded components, this foundational knowledge becomes even more critical. Remember: the fabricator is your partner.
