Ventec Highlights Advanced Thermal Management Solutions at Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo
August 31, 2017 | Ventec InternationalEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International will showcase its extensive range of thermal management solutions at the Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo on booth #900, including the latest advanced material for thermally conductive cores and prepregs for multi-layer and hybrid build ups. The expo will take place September 12-14, 2017 in Detroit, Michigan.
Ventec's team of materials experts will present the company's advances in high performance IMS materials that deliver an exceptional thermal performance, reliability and quality, particularly demanded by automotive and other LED lighting and DC power conversion applications.
A show-highlight will be VT-5A2, a next generation best-in-class, high Tg thin-core and prepreg material. It is designed for the world's most thermally demanding PCB applications such as power converters, hybrid multilayers and high-power electronics with heavy copper designs providing enhanced signal stability in harsh environments. With a thermal conductivity 8 times that of FR4, VT-5A2 delivers class-leading thermal performance and high flowability for perfect encapsulation, allowing for better board design for applications requiring critical thermal management in harsh environments. It is manufactured by Ventec using strict quality controlled processes that are certified to AS9100 Revision C, ISO/TS16949 and ISO 9001:2015.
Jack Pattie, President Ventec USA comments: 'As a forum for electric, hybrid and plugin hybrid vehicle technology, the Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo will provide visitors with a unique showcase of manufacturing solutions. E-vehicles and hybrid vehicles are a huge business for us and we expect there to be a lot of interest in our solutions, particularly our new products like VT-5A2.'

Trouble in Your Tank: Can You Drill the Perfect Hole?
07/07/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIn the movie “Friday Night Lights,” the head football coach (played by Billy Bob Thornton) addresses his high school football team on a hot day in August in West Texas. He asks his players one question: “Can you be perfect?” That is an interesting question, in football and the printed circuit board fabrication world, where being perfect is somewhat elusive. When it comes to mechanical drilling and via formation, can you drill the perfect hole time after time?
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.
