Ventec Launches Highest Thermal Conductive Metal Base Laminate for IGBT & Power Markets
January 16, 2023 | Ventec International Group Co., Ltd.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce the launch of its latest high thermal conductive metal base laminate VT-4BC designed for use in applications requiring excellent performance in thermal management including super bright lighting, power modules, controllers, motor drives and rectifiers.
With high electrical breakdown strength, VT-4BC is designed to provide unparalleled reliability and improved performance over competing materials. It exhibits a thermal conductivity of 10 W/mK, offering superior heat dissipation even under the most demanding conditions.
In addition to its exceptional thermal performance, VT-4BC also boasts excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and superior dielectric properties. It is also resistant to impact, moisture, and chemicals, making it a reliable choice for the most demanding applications particularly for IGBT and power markets.
The material will make its US debut at IPC APEX Expo 2023 from 24-26 January in San Diego, where visitors to booth 419 can discover the superior performance of VT-4BC alongside the full range of PCB base materials.
Ventec’s Global Head IMS Technology, Chris Hanson commented on the release of VT-4BC: “We are proud to introduce a product that provides unparalleled thermal performance and highest electrical breakdown strength. VT-4BC is designed for customers who value reliability and require improved performance over traditional materials. We look forward to showcasing it at IPC APEX Expo in January, where attendees can discover its superior capabilities firsthand.”

Fresh PCB Concepts: Designing PCBs for Harsh Environments—Reliability Is Engineered Upstream
04/23/2026 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsWhen engineers hear the phrase “harsh environment,” they usually think of the extreme temperature swings, vibration and shock, pressure changes, or radiation in aerospace. However, aerospace is not the only harsh environment where electronic assemblies must survive. Automotive power electronics, downhole oil and gas tools, marine controls, rail systems, defense platforms, and industrial automation equipment all expose PCBs to environments that are equally unforgiving. The stress mechanisms may differ, but the physics does not.
The Right Approach: The End of an Era—DoD Proposes MIL-PRF-31032 Cancellation
04/21/2026 | Steve Williams -- Column: The Right ApproachThe Defense Logistics Agency has initiated formal proceedings to cancel the military's primary performance specification for printed circuit boards, a move that could reshape how the U.S. defense industrial base qualifies and sources one of its most critical electronic components. On March 4, 2026, DLA Weapons Support issued a memorandum to military and industry coordination activities announcing that MIL-PRF-31032, along with its six associated specification sheets, has been proposed for cancellation. A 30-day comment period was allotted, with concurrence or comments due by April 3, 2026.
