Ventec Launches Dk 3.48 Ceramic-Filled Hydrocarbon Thermoset Material
May 15, 2018 | Ventec International Group Co., Ltd.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. has added to its extensive signal integrity laminate and prepreg range with the launch of tec-speed 20.0, a ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material designed for high frequency applications. tec-speed 20.0 combines unrivalled high-frequency performance (Dk 3.48 / Df 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.
No More Compromises - Performance, Price and Availability
The tec-speed 20.0 (VT-870) is designed for the world's most demanding high frequency Printed Circuit Board applications such as cellular base station antennas, power amplifiers, LNB for broadcast satellites, automotive radar and RFID. With tec-speed 20.0, Ventec has responded to customer demands for a high-performance, reliable and cost-efficient high frequency material that also has a fast and efficient global delivery promise and dependable technical support.
The tec-speed 20.0 is a high-frequency laminate designed to preserve signal integrity up to high-GHz frequencies and has extremely low 3.48 dielectric constant (Dk) and 0.0037 dissipation factor (Df). By minimizing insertion losses, tec-speed 20.0 provides greater freedom to optimize copper trace widths, spacing, and PCB thickness.
Tested according to IPC-TM-650 specifications, the industry’s gold standard, tec-speed 20.0 is UL approved, reliable and durable, offering outstanding thermal performance. High glass transition temperature (Tg), high peel strength, and low CTE ensure structural integrity and reliability, in process and hardworking applications.
Now, tec-speed 20.0 is available as laminate or prepreg (VT-870PP), as standard with HTE copper foil or with HVLP (Hyper Very Low Profile) foil to attenuate passive intermodulation (PIM) effects.
The tec-speed 20.0 ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material is manufactured by Ventec using strict quality-controlled processes that are certified to AS9100 Revision D, ISO/TS16949 and ISO 9001:2015, and, like all Ventec products, is backed by a fully controlled and managed global supply chain, sales- and support-network.

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.
