Ventec’s High-Speed/Low-Loss/High-Frequency Material Technology Takes Center Stage at U.S. Expos
January 20, 2020 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd., a world leader in the production of polyimide and high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs and specialist provider of thermal management and IMS solutions, will feature its brand new and enhanced set of high-performance, high-reliability high-speed/low-loss/high-frequency materials at the upcoming DesignCon and IPC APEX Expos. The Ventec technology team will be in Santa Clara (CA) at DesignCon on Booth #205 and key company executives will be joined by the US-team at IPC APEX EXPO in San Diego (CA) on booth #4434.
DesignCon, Santa Clara (CA) – Booth #205 (28-30 January)
With the rapid rise of 5G and sophisticated radar applications in automotive and other sectors, the demand and requirements for low loss and high frequency material is accelerating. On booth #205, visitors are invited to discover Ventec’s laminate and prepreg solutions that deliver the required superior electrical performance demanded by today’s 5G and radar application requirements.
The show will see the US-market launch and roll-out of tec-speed 30.0—Ventec’s latest ceramic filled high-frequency PTFE material range that offers the highest signal-integrity characteristics for the most advanced high-frequency systems such as 77~79 GHz automotive radar systems.
tec-speed 30.0 (VT-3703) offers:
- Dk 3.0 with extremely low Df (0.0009)
- DK-stability versus temperature
- Lower in-plane thermal expansion
The current Dk 3.0 tec-speed 30.0 version will be supplemented by Dk 6.15 and Dk 10.2 versions in the first half of 2020, offering an even wider range of options for applications such as automotive radar, cellular base stations, power amplifiers & antennas, global positioning satellite antennas, patch antennas for wireless communication or power backplanes.
Also featured will be the tec-speed 20.0 range of high frequency laminates & prepregs designed to preserve signal integrity up to high-GHz frequencies. tec-speed 20.0 has extremely low 3.0-3.48 Dk and 0.002-0.0037 Df minimizing insertion losses, giving more freedom to optimize copper trace widths, spacing, and PCB thickness to suit your application.
IPC APEX, San Diego (CA)—Booth #4434 (4-6 February)
Ventec will once again be exhibiting at IPC APEX on booth #4434 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. The key focus will be:
- The US-market launch of ‘autolam’ – a base material solutions set specifically curated for the diverse and unique requirements of automotive applications;
- tec-speed 6.0: High-speed, high-frequency material technology for applications requiring great signal integrity and low-Dk benefits with high reliability. Ventec’s material formula also features high Conductive Anodic Filament (CAF) resistance to offer highest assurance of reliability in humid environments;
- tec-speed 7.0 & 7.1: High-speed, ultra-low-loss multilayer materials that offer excellent signal integrity for extremely high-speed applications. By combining low dielectric constant (Dk) for highly efficient power transmission with low dissipation factor (Df) for minimum signal loss up to high bit rates, tec-speed 7.0 & 7.1 can handle all in-car networking from MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) and FlexRay to multi-Gigabit Ethernet;
- tec-speed 20.0: Few substrate materials can match the high-speed signal-handling performance of this ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material series. tec-speed 20.0 combines unrivaled high-frequency performance (Dk 3.00-3.48 / Df 0.002-0.0037), superior loss characteristics and highest reliability particularly demanded by automotive and 5G applications.

Global PCB Connections: Following DFM Rules Leads to Better Boards
12/18/2024 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsAs a PCB field applications engineer, ensuring smooth communication between PCB designers and fabricators is one of my frequent challenges. A critical part of that dialogue is design for manufacturing (DFM). Many designers, even experienced ones, often misunderstand or overlook important DFM considerations. They may confuse design rules with manufacturing minimums, leading to technically feasible designs that are difficult or costly to produce. In this column, I will clarify some common DFM guidelines and help designers understand the difference between “design rules” and “minimums” while sharing best practices that will simplify the production process and ensure the highest quality PCB.
Sayonara to the Last Standing Copper Foil Plant in North America
12/17/2024 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007In July 2021, PCB007 Magazine published an interview with Michael Coll and Chris Stevens of Nippon Denkai about the new acquisition by Nippon Denkai of the last-standing ED foil manufacturer in North America. The plant in Augusta, Georgia, was formerly owned by Oak Mitsui, Inc. and had been purchased by Nippon Denkai the previous March, after which significant investment was made with the expectation of providing more jobs.

Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Plating Process Overview
12/12/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsIn this installment of Fresh PCB Concepts, Mike Marshall takes the helm stating: PCBs have been the platform for the interconnection of electronic components for decades. Because of process costs and other constraints, such as mechanical properties or size limitations of the alternatives, PCBs will remain the standard low-cost interconnection technology. Rapidly increasing performance and functionality requirements of wireless and high-speed devices have challenged the development and implementation of new manufacturing solutions.
