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.

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
Fresh PCB Concepts: Designing for Success at the Rigid-flex Transition Area
08/28/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsRigid-flex PCBs come in all shapes and sizes. Manufacturers typically use fire-retardant, grade 4 (FR-4) materials in the rigid section and flexible polyimide materials in the flex region. Because of the small size, some rigid-flex PCBs, like those for hearing aid devices, are among the most challenging to manufacture. However, regardless of its size, we should not neglect the transition area between the rigid and flexible material.
Global Sourcing Spotlight: How to Evaluate Supplier Capabilities Worldwide
08/20/2025 | Bob Duke -- Column: Global Sourcing SpotlightIn global sourcing, the difference between a competitive edge and a catastrophic disruption often comes down to how well you vet your suppliers. Sourcing advanced PCBs, precision components, or materials for complex assemblies demands diligence, skepticism, and more than a little time on airplanes. Here’s how to do your due diligence when evaluating international suppliers and why cutting corners can cost you more than money.
