Ventec VT-901 Reliability Validated by Key Israeli Customers' HATS Testing
September 20, 2016 | VentecEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The reliability of Ventec International's VT-901 polyimide laminates, prepregs and low-flow prepregs has been conclusively demonstrated by Highly Accelerated Thermal Stress (HATS) testing by two leading PCB manufacturers in Israel.
PCB Technologies tested VT-901 materials in complex high layer-count rigid multilayer constructions, Eltek’s testing also included high layer count flex-rigid multilayers and VT-901 easily satisfied the test criteria in all examples.
Mark Goodwin, Ventec COO Europe and USA, said, "These remarkable HATS results, from two leading manufacturers of PCBs for military and aerospace applications, further demonstrate the thermal robustness of Ventec VT-901 polyimide and its suitability for use in high reliability rigid and flex rigid multi-layers in this demanding sector. Together with the AS9100 accreditation of our manufacturing and distribution facilities, these results clearly position Ventec as a world leader in the supply of high-reliability polyimide materials. We will now start with the next phase of our business development in Israel, which will involve the local stocking of materials to meet quick turn requirements of customers. This will be managed by our local agent and partner A.J. Englander (1980) Ltd."

Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Design Essentials for Electric Vehicle Charging
11/27/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsElectric vehicles (EVs), powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels, are transforming transportation and reducing environmental impacts. But what good is an EV if it can't be easily charged? In this month's column, Ramon Roche dives into the role of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electric vehicle charging (EVC)—and the design considerations.
Unlocking Advanced Circuitry Through Liquid Metal Ink
10/31/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPCB UHDI technologist John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing and the critical role of innovation, specifically liquid metal ink technology, as an alternate process to traditional metallization in PCB fabrication to achieve ever finer features and tighter tolerances. The discussion highlights the benefits of reliability, efficiency, and yields as a tradeoff to any increased cost to run the process. As this technology becomes better understood and accepted, even sought out by customers and designers, John says there is a move toward mainstream incorporation.
Fresh PCB Concepts: The Critical Nature of Copper Thickness on PCBs
10/31/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsPCBs are the backbone of modern electronics and the copper layers within these boards serve as the primary pathways for electrical signals. When designing and manufacturing PCBs, copper thickness is one of the most critical factors and significantly affects the board’s performance and durability. The IPC-6012F specification, the industry standard for the performance and qualification of rigid PCBs, sets clear guidelines on copper thickness to ensure reliability in different environments and applications.
