Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Ventec to Showcase High-Speed/High-Frequency and Advanced IMS Material Tech at Key US Expos
September 3, 2019 | VentecEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec will once again be exhibiting at one of the industry’s most important exhibitions for printed circuit board design, fabrication and assembly in the US. The Ventec US team will be on booth #508 to present the company’s unique laminate & prepreg capability across a very wide range of applications and budgets—all supported by a fast and efficient global delivery promise through Ventec's fully controlled and managed global supply chain and world-class dependable technical support.
A key focus will be Ventec’s extended ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material series tec-speed 20.0. The range combines unrivaled high-frequency performance (Dk 3.00-3.48 / Df 0.002-0.0037), superior loss characteristics and highest reliability particularly demanded by 5G applications. The extended tec-speed 20.0 range is designed for the world's most demanding high frequency PCB applications and is already proving to be very popular with customers requiring high-performance, reliable and cost-efficient high frequency materials.
Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo, Novi (MI)
From 10-12 September, visitors are invited to meet our thermal management & IMS specialists on booth #1351 to discover the latest advances in high performance IMS materials and thermally conductive prepregs and thin core laminates that deliver exceptional thermal performance, reliability and quality.
With the rise in new energy vehicles, automotive manufacturers around the world are already showing a keen interest and relying on Ventec's advanced range of high thermal conductivity, low-loss, heavy copper and black laminates, including:
- VT-4B5 SP, an aluminum base laminate that ensures maximum thermal efficiency for direct-to-metal connections of electrically isolated heat sources and places dielectric insulation only where needed
- VT-4B5L, a high performance IMS material that offers excellent solder joint reliability and thermal conductivity of 4.0 W/mK.
- VT-4B5H, a metal base laminate material with high Tg (180oC) and thermal conductivity of 4.2 W/mK, ideally suited for applications such as LED lighting, power conversion, monitor drives and power supply
- VT-4B7, a high performance IMS material for applications where maximum thermal conductivity and electrical performance are key. Specified at 7.0 W/mK, VT-4B7 is an affordably priced substrate that competes strongly with direct-bond copper (DBC)

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Gold Mitigation for Class 2 Electronics
05/07/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn electronic assemblies, the integrity of connections between components is paramount for ensuring reliability and performance. Gold embrittlement and dissolution are two critical phenomena that can compromise this integrity. Gold embrittlement occurs when gold diffuses into solder joints or alloys, resulting in mechanical brittleness and an increased susceptibility to cracking. Conversely, gold dissolution involves the melting away of gold into solder or metal matrices, potentially altering the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint.
