Ventec to Demo Latest PCB Material Innovations at JPCA
May 31, 2018 | VentecEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. will showcase its latest PCB material technology innovations at the JPCA show, which is taking place at the Tokyo Big Sight East Hall from June 6-8 in Japan. The Ventec technology team will be on hand on booth #7B-32 showcasing unique laminate & prepreg capability solutions including the latest tec-speed 20.0 material – a Dk 3.48 ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material designed for high frequency applications.
Didier Mauve (Global Account Manager OEM Technology), Bill Wang (Technical & Quality Director) and Will Zhang (Staff Engineer) will be at JPCA to demonstrate the company’s firm commitment to the Japanese market and further strengthen its position as a global leader in technology for high performance thermal management and signal integrity materials.
Show highlights will include:
tec-speed 20.0
tec-speed 20.0 (VT-870) combines unrivaled 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. tec-speed 20.0 is designed for the world's most demanding high-frequency PCB applications such as cellular base station antennas, power amplifiers, LNB for broadcast satellites, automotive radar and RFID.
VT-5A2
VT-5A2 offers a polymer matrix that is fully compatible with Ventec laminates, epoxy or polyimide-based materials including tec-speed, making it the ideal choice for the manufacture of hybrid multilayer low-loss constructions. VT-5A2 sets itself apart by offering highest performance thermal conductivity 8 times that of FR-4 at 2.2 W/m.K, a high Tg of 190°C, best in class thermal performance (T260 >60 minutes, T288 >30 minutes and T300 >15 minutes) and MOT of 150°C. VT-5A2 is lead-free assembly compatible, fulfills RoHS and WEEE requirements and complies with UL94 V0.
VT-4B Series IMS
For superior thermal dissipation of an insulated metal substrate (IMS), VT-4B series materials offer the perfect performance and properties. VT-4B1 is designed for bending and forming. The tiny minimum radius eases fitting in tight spaces, for an elegantly engineered assembly. The extremely flexible dielectric will not crack or peel. Thermal conductivity 1.0 W/m.K, for minimum Zth 0.078°C*in2/W. From VT-4B3 to VT-4B9, the family provides a broad choice of thermal performance. 3 W/m.K to 10.0 W/m.K, and minimum Zth from 0.026°C*in2/W to 0.0078°C*in2/W satisfy demanding applications: LED lighting, high power-density converters, power supplies, automotive lighting and controls. For direct-to-metal connection of electrically isolated heat sources, VT-4B5SP selective preference substrates ensure maximum thermal efficiency and place dielectric insulation only where needed.
VT-901 (IPC QPL Listed)
Where mechanical strength and high-temperature stability are critical, VT-901 polyimide substrate has high flex strength, high glass temperature (Tg), low z-axis CTE, and long T260 and T288 times – to maintain dimensional stability and integrity even under harsh loads. VT-901 is a safe non-MDA formula, with low outgassing tested and approved by NASA, available as laminate or prepreg. Ventec’s proprietary resin system is produced entirely in-house, giving ultimate supply-chain security and quality assurance. Outstanding electrical performance offers high resistivity for electrical isolation, and resistance to arcing, tracking, and dielectric breakdown. Low dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df) ensure excellent signal integrity for computing and communications.
All these and more can be seen at the Ventec JPCA booth #7B-32.

Driving Innovation: Selecting the Right Laser Source
04/28/2026 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationWhen I first joined Schmoll Maschinen, I brought experience from almost every PCB process, except for laser. As I immersed myself in laser processing, I realized why it can seem so daunting to a newcomer. The complexity arises from three intersecting factors: A vast variety of laser sources: CO2, UV-nano, green-pico, UV-pico, IR-pico, and others; a diverse range of applications: Drilling, cutting, ablation, and more; and an extensive list of materials: These have vastly different absorption rates. Choosing the right machine or laser source is rarely trivial. Even for experienced engineers, answering "Which source is best?" requires examining the business's specific goals.
Institute of Circuit Technology Spring Seminar 2026: A Bright Future in Europe
04/23/2026 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007Through the leafy lanes and spring flowers of Warwickshire and back to Meridan, the traditional centre of England, and now officially part of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull in the county of the West Midlands, I attended the Annual General Meeting and Spring Seminar of the Institute of Circuit Technology (ICT) on April 14. Out of the AGM came notable changes in leadership at the top of the Institute: the retirement of Mat Beadel as chair and Emma Hudson as technical director. Effective May 1, Steve Driver is the new chair, and Alun Morgan is the new technical director.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Designing PCBs for Harsh Environments—Reliability Is Engineered Upstream
04/23/2026 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsWhen engineers hear the phrase “harsh environment,” they usually think of the extreme temperature swings, vibration and shock, pressure changes, or radiation in aerospace. However, aerospace is not the only harsh environment where electronic assemblies must survive. Automotive power electronics, downhole oil and gas tools, marine controls, rail systems, defense platforms, and industrial automation equipment all expose PCBs to environments that are equally unforgiving. The stress mechanisms may differ, but the physics does not.
