October 29, 2015 | VentecEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group, a world leader in the production of polyimide & high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs, will exhibit in Booth B1.142 at productronica 2015, scheduled to take place November 9th to 13th, 2015 in Munich, Germany. With a focus on the high reliability materials demanded by military, space, commercial aerospace and medical applications, Ventec's team of experts will present the company’s next generation ultra-thin laminates and prepregs. The latest advancements, including Ventec’s full range of IMS materials for thermal management & a comprehensive range of standard, halogen-free & high-temp & high reliability grades of FR4 will also be highlighted.
Increased miniaturization and higher component density, driven by greater functional demands from mil/aero, medical, consumer and automotive applications and devices, are accelerating rapid advances in laminate technology for next generation PCB’s. As a direct consequence, the demand for process capability of ultra-thin laminates and prepregs is on the rise. Ventec’s advanced solutions, which will be highlighted during the show, offer a range of ultra-thin materials with a minimum dielectric thickness of 25 microns.
Furthermore, demand for high performance materials, particularly for high-end storage, telecommunications and automotive applications requiring high signal transmission speed and low transmission loss, is driving the advancement of high speed and high frequency solutions. Ventec offers a total solution of low loss materials and will be highlighting the VT-462 and VT-464 series of low Dk/low Df, high reliability products which offer excellent Laser drilling ability and better dimensional stability, lower cost and longer shelf life. To meet environmental requirements for non-brominated flame retardants, VT-464 achieves UL94 V-0 whilst retaining its low loss characteristics, and is based on a halogen-free epoxy resin technology. High glass transition temperature and excellent thermal reliability ensure compatibility with lead-free assembly processes.
With the market need for ever-increasing thermal performance, particularly for automotive and other lighting and DC power conversion applications, the VT-4B family of thermally conductive IMS deliver an unprecedented level of thermal performance through their established ceramic-filled halogen-free dielectric technology. Multilayered constructions are made possible through resin-coated foil and resin-coated film options that will be presented at the show.
Ventec International Group’s COO USA & EUROPE Mark Goodwin commented: “Today’s electronics and PCB manufacturers expect reliable and high performance materials from their suppliers. By owning and fully controlling our global supply chain, we provide materials of consistent quality and reliability around the world without compromise. And particularly for the military and commercial aerospace sector, our full certification to AS9100 Revision C, the quality management standard specifically written for the aerospace and defense industry, positions Ventec as a leader in the design and manufacture of high reliability materials. Throughout Productronica, our team of technical and supply chain experts will be on hand to meet our customers and help visitors select and specify the best materials that will enable optimum product performance and cost-effectiveness without compromising manufacturability or functionality.”

Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Design Essentials for Electric Vehicle Charging
11/27/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsElectric vehicles (EVs), powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels, are transforming transportation and reducing environmental impacts. But what good is an EV if it can't be easily charged? In this month's column, Ramon Roche dives into the role of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electric vehicle charging (EVC)—and the design considerations.
Unlocking Advanced Circuitry Through Liquid Metal Ink
10/31/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPCB UHDI technologist John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing and the critical role of innovation, specifically liquid metal ink technology, as an alternate process to traditional metallization in PCB fabrication to achieve ever finer features and tighter tolerances. The discussion highlights the benefits of reliability, efficiency, and yields as a tradeoff to any increased cost to run the process. As this technology becomes better understood and accepted, even sought out by customers and designers, John says there is a move toward mainstream incorporation.
Fresh PCB Concepts: The Critical Nature of Copper Thickness on PCBs
10/31/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsPCBs are the backbone of modern electronics and the copper layers within these boards serve as the primary pathways for electrical signals. When designing and manufacturing PCBs, copper thickness is one of the most critical factors and significantly affects the board’s performance and durability. The IPC-6012F specification, the industry standard for the performance and qualification of rigid PCBs, sets clear guidelines on copper thickness to ensure reliability in different environments and applications.
