Ventec Joins PCBAA in Support of U.S. PCB Manufacturing
July 23, 2024 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group has announced its membership of the Printed Circuit Board Association of America (PCBAA), supporting the organization’s dedication to promote the interests of PCB manufacturers and suppliers in the US.
By joining PCBAA, Ventec is strengthening its commitment to the US PCB sector under the global imperative for a sustainable and resilient electronics industry. PCBAA works to support domestic production of PCBs, also advocating for initiatives that create fair market conditions. Its role recognizes the importance of the PCB to electronic assemblies and hence the value of supply chain security.
"As the foundation for every electronic circuit and system, each aspect of the PCB is important, from performance and reliability to assuring supply of bare boards to keep electronic product assembly lines running,” said Mark Goodwin, COO Ventec International Group. "The PCBAA represents the interests of US PCB makers at all levels, including government and legislators, to ensure that PCB manufacturers here can thrive. We are excited at this opportunity to actively take part and help shape the industry here for a strong future."

Study on Resonance Mitigation in Metallic Shielding for Integrated Circuits
07/08/2025 | Article by Maria Cuesta Martin, Victor Martinez, Vidal Gonzalez Aguado, Würth ElektronikInherent cavity resonant modes often lead to significant degradation of shielding effectiveness, responsible for unwanted electromagnetic coupling. Cavity resonant modes of the metal shielding enclosure can produce two adverse problems: the mutual coupling among different RF modules and shielding effectiveness reduction of the metal enclosure. The cabinets serve to shield certain components from electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, these cavities present some resonance peaks at 5 GHz, making it impossible to use them at higher frequencies.
