Ventec Launches Dk 3.48 Ceramic-Filled Hydrocarbon Thermoset Material
May 15, 2018 | Ventec International Group Co., Ltd.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. has added to its extensive signal integrity laminate and prepreg range with the launch of tec-speed 20.0, a ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material designed for high frequency applications. tec-speed 20.0 combines unrivalled high-frequency performance (Dk 3.48 / Df 0.0037), superior loss characteristics and the highest reliability with fast availability and efficient delivery through Ventec’s fully controlled and managed global supply chain and technical support-network.
No More Compromises - Performance, Price and Availability
The tec-speed 20.0 (VT-870) is designed for the world's most demanding high frequency Printed Circuit Board applications such as cellular base station antennas, power amplifiers, LNB for broadcast satellites, automotive radar and RFID. With tec-speed 20.0, Ventec has responded to customer demands for a high-performance, reliable and cost-efficient high frequency material that also has a fast and efficient global delivery promise and dependable technical support.
The tec-speed 20.0 is a high-frequency laminate designed to preserve signal integrity up to high-GHz frequencies and has extremely low 3.48 dielectric constant (Dk) and 0.0037 dissipation factor (Df). By minimizing insertion losses, tec-speed 20.0 provides greater freedom to optimize copper trace widths, spacing, and PCB thickness.
Tested according to IPC-TM-650 specifications, the industry’s gold standard, tec-speed 20.0 is UL approved, reliable and durable, offering outstanding thermal performance. High glass transition temperature (Tg), high peel strength, and low CTE ensure structural integrity and reliability, in process and hardworking applications.
Now, tec-speed 20.0 is available as laminate or prepreg (VT-870PP), as standard with HTE copper foil or with HVLP (Hyper Very Low Profile) foil to attenuate passive intermodulation (PIM) effects.
The tec-speed 20.0 ceramic-filled hydrocarbon thermoset material is manufactured by Ventec using strict quality-controlled processes that are certified to AS9100 Revision D, ISO/TS16949 and ISO 9001:2015, and, like all Ventec products, is backed by a fully controlled and managed global supply chain, sales- and support-network.

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
