Current IssueInner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...
Engineering Economics
The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

Ventec Meets Demand for Taiyo LPI Solder Mask Products in Europe
June 28, 2022 | VentecEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Following Ventec’s announcement of its exclusive distribution agreement with Taiyo, customers in mainland Europe & the UK are now guaranteed reliable, immediate and flexible access to the full color range of Taiyo Liquid Photoimageable (LPI) Solder Mask inks. Quickest order to delivery turnaround times are guaranteed through Ventec’s fully managed and controlled supply chain from its UK and Germany facilities. With comprehensive inventory availability in booth locations of the full range of colors from Taiyo's PSR-4000 and PSR-4100 range, Ventec meets the increasing demand from European high mix PCB manufacturers for LPI solder mask inks in Europe.
The Taiyo PSR-4000 series and PSR-4100 (two-component, alkaline developable LPI solder mask products) are now immediately available to customers in the EMEA region in the complete range of colors:
- Black
- White
- Green
- Dark green
- Blue
- Yellow
- Red
Fully stocked and fulfilled from Ventec’s distribution hubs in Germany and the United Kingdom, the LPI range is supplied in pre-measured 2.8 and 1.2 kilo containers. The products are Directive 2002/95/EC and RoHS compliant and designed to be user friendly with wide processing latitudes, low odor, fast developing and good resistance to alternate metal finishes such as ENIG and immersion tin.
“With our long-term strategy to continuously invest in ownership and control of our complete sales process and supply chain, Ventec is well known for logistics excellence. Through our long-term partnership with Taiyo as their exclusive pan-European distributor, and our stock capacity increase at our distribution centers in the United Kingdom and in Germany, we are eradicating the former supply challenges for LPI solder masks products in Europe. Immediate availability from stock and flexible shipping options allow our customers controlled and reliable access to stock inventory at the level and time they require for uninterrupted manufacturing,” says Mark Goodwin, COO EMEA and America of Ventec.
Alongside its core PCB-base material ranges, the Taiyo product availability further strengthens Ventec’s position as a leading one-stop shop for high-quality PCB materials in Europe.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
