Ventec Expands Thermal Interface Materials Range
August 29, 2019 | VentecEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd., a world leader in the production of polyimide & high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs and specialist provider of thermal management and IMS solutions, is pleased to announce the addition of two new thermally conductive thin isolation foil materials to its range of Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) under its distribution agreement with EMI Thermal.
Initially for the European market, Ventec teamed up with EMI Thermal to provide a range of Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) that are a perfect complement to Ventec’s IMS material families, thermally conductive and standard laminates and prepregs for multilayer PCB’s. The range of materials distributed through Ventec, which includes double sided thermal tape, electrical insulators, natural graphite and void fillers, has now been expanded with the addition of two new UL94 V-0-recognized thin isolation/thermal conductive foil materials.
T-P INS 2 and T-P INS 3 A0/A1 are high-performance electrically insulating, thermally conductive interface materials that offer thermal conductivity of 1.8-3W/mK. Further features include high tensile strength (≥0.8-1.0) designed to prevent cut through and electrical shorts, low thermal impedance (0.16˚C in2/W), no viscosity and a thickness of 0.18-0.30mm, making them the ideal material choice for access control, computer and network & communications applications including SMPS, telecom devices, visual devices, networking products, LCD-TV, notebook PC’s, PC’s, etc. Full material specifications can be found at http://www.ventec-group.com/products/thermal-interface-material/.
To offer even greater value to customers, Ventec continues to maintain and build upon its one-stop-service solution for PCB materials to the European PCB and electronics industry, by offering a range of third party products that complement its own extensive product range, including flexible laminates (ThinFlex/Arisawa) and a full range of PCB production consumable products covering standard and specialty (Centrum & Glossback) drill materials, copper foils including ACF.

Unlocking Advanced Circuitry Through Liquid Metal Ink
10/31/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPCB UHDI technologist John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing and the critical role of innovation, specifically liquid metal ink technology, as an alternate process to traditional metallization in PCB fabrication to achieve ever finer features and tighter tolerances. The discussion highlights the benefits of reliability, efficiency, and yields as a tradeoff to any increased cost to run the process. As this technology becomes better understood and accepted, even sought out by customers and designers, John says there is a move toward mainstream incorporation.
Fresh PCB Concepts: The Critical Nature of Copper Thickness on PCBs
10/31/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsPCBs are the backbone of modern electronics and the copper layers within these boards serve as the primary pathways for electrical signals. When designing and manufacturing PCBs, copper thickness is one of the most critical factors and significantly affects the board’s performance and durability. The IPC-6012F specification, the industry standard for the performance and qualification of rigid PCBs, sets clear guidelines on copper thickness to ensure reliability in different environments and applications.
Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... DFM Essentials, Ch. 1
10/25/2024 | I-Connect007The guidelines offered in this book are based on both ASC recommendations and IPC standards with the understanding that some may require adjustment based on the material set, fabricator processes, and other design constraints. This chapter details high-frequency materials, copper foil types, metal core PCBs, and the benefits of embedded capacitance and resistor materials in multilayer PCBs.
The Cost-Benefit Analysis of Direct Metallization
10/21/2024 | Carmichael Gugliotti, MacDermid AlphaCarmichael Gugliotti of MacDermid Alpha discusses the innovative realm of direct metallization technology, its numerous applications, and significant advantages over traditional processes. Carmichael offers an in-depth look at how direct metallization, through developments such as Blackhole and Shadow, is revolutionizing PCB manufacturing by enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. From its origins in the 1980s to its application in cutting-edge, high-density interconnects and its pivotal role in sustainability, this discussion sheds light on how direct metallization shapes the future of PCB manufacturing across various industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, and beyond.
Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Pattern Plating
10/16/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIn the previous episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we painted the picture of the outer layer imaging process. Now we are ready for pattern plating, where fabrication can get tricky. The board is now ready to receive the copper traces, pads, and other elements specified in the original CAD design. This article will lay out the pattern plating process and discuss constraints in the chemistries that must be properly managed to meet the customer's exacting manufacturing tolerances.
