Ventec Extends tec-speed 20.0 Series of Low PIM Antenna-Grade Laminates
December 13, 2018 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. has added four new low passive intermodulation (PIM) antenna-grade laminates to its tec-speed 20.0 ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material series. These latest additions combine unrivaled high-frequency performance (Dk 3.00-3.48 / Df 0.002-0.0037), 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 & Availability
The tec-speed 20.0 series, which is designed for the world's most demanding high frequency Printed Circuit Board applications, has now been extended with four new low PIM antenna-grade laminates: L300, L330, L340 and H348. These ceramic-filled, hydrocarbon thermoset materials offer excellent dimensional stability and uniform mechanical properties that help limit PIM.
Preserving signal integrity up to high-GHz frequencies, dielectric constant (Dk) specifications range from 3.0 to 3.48 at 10GHz and dissipation factor (Df) from 0.0025 to 0.0037 at 10 GHz giving customers a choice of the most effective material for their design. All four new materials offer first-rate processability, unrivaled RF characteristics and excellent thermal conductivity values that are ideally suited to cope with the heat generated by high-power levels. Most notable are the outstanding PIM levels of ≦-160 dBc and UL-V0 Flammability rating for the entire series.
With tec-speed 20.0, Ventec has responded to customer demands for high-performance, reliable and cost-efficient high frequency materials that are supported by a fast and efficient global delivery promise and dependable technical support.
tec-speed 20.0 ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset materials are 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, are backed by a fully controlled and managed global supply chain, sales- and technical support-network.

Material Insight: The Dielectric Constant of PCB Materials
05/17/2024 | Dr. Preeya Kuray -- Column: Material InsightIn the world of PCB design, miniaturization can be achieved by using low dielectric constant (Dk) materials. Low Dk materials can allow for a reduction in thickness while maintaining a given trace width, leading to lower transmission loss and higher density circuitry.
IPC APEX EXPO: Some Thoughts About Growth
05/16/2024 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007After two and a half days of wandering the aisles at IPC APEX EXPO 2024, for the first time, I almost felt like I was exploring CES. There were so many booths and exhibits that I could describe, but I’d like to focus on the growth and huge value of this event, which has expanded well beyond just the growing and impressive exhibit show floor.
The Shaughnessy Report: Unlock Your High-speed Material Constraints
05/15/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportThe world of PCB materials used to be a fairly simple one. It was divided into two groups: the “traditional” laminates, often called FR-4, and the high-speed laminates developed especially for high-speed PCBs. These were two worlds that usually didn’t collide. But then traditional laminates started getting better, and high-speed designers and design engineers took notice and started to reconsider what FR-4 could be used for.
Breaking High-speed Material Constraints: Design007 Magazine — May 2024
05/14/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamDo you need specialty materials for your high-speed designs? Maybe not. Improvements in resins mean designers of high-speed boards can sometimes use traditional laminate systems instead of high-speed materials, saving time and money while streamlining the fab process. In the May 2024 issue of Design007 Magazine, our contributors explain how to avoid overconstraining your materials when working with high-speed boards.
