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.”

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
07/11/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineThis week, we have quite a variety of news items and articles for you. News continues to stream out of Washington, D.C., with tariffs rearing their controversial head again. Because these tariffs are targeted at overseas copper manufacturers, this news has a direct effect on our industry.I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
Trump Copper Tariffs Spark Concern
07/10/2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPresident Donald Trump stated on July 8 that he plans to impose a 50% tariff on copper imports, sparking concern in a global industry whose output is critical to electric vehicles, military hardware, semiconductors, and a wide range of consumer goods. According to Yahoo Finance, copper futures climbed over 2% following tariff confirmation.
Happy’s Tech Talk #40: Factors in PTH Reliability—Hole Voids
07/09/2025 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkWhen we consider via reliability, the major contributing factors are typically processing deviations. These can be subtle and not always visible. One particularly insightful column was by Mike Carano, “Causes of Plating Voids, Pre-electroless Copper,” where he outlined some of the possible causes of hole defects for both plated through-hole (PTH) and blind vias.
Trouble in Your Tank: Can You Drill the Perfect Hole?
07/07/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIn the movie “Friday Night Lights,” the head football coach (played by Billy Bob Thornton) addresses his high school football team on a hot day in August in West Texas. He asks his players one question: “Can you be perfect?” That is an interesting question, in football and the printed circuit board fabrication world, where being perfect is somewhat elusive. When it comes to mechanical drilling and via formation, can you drill the perfect hole time after time?
