Ventec Expands Thermal Interface Materials Range
August 29, 2019 | VentecEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd., a world leader in the production of polyimide & high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs and specialist provider of thermal management and IMS solutions, is pleased to announce the addition of two new thermally conductive thin isolation foil materials to its range of Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) under its distribution agreement with EMI Thermal.
Initially for the European market, Ventec teamed up with EMI Thermal to provide a range of Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) that are a perfect complement to Ventec’s IMS material families, thermally conductive and standard laminates and prepregs for multilayer PCB’s. The range of materials distributed through Ventec, which includes double sided thermal tape, electrical insulators, natural graphite and void fillers, has now been expanded with the addition of two new UL94 V-0-recognized thin isolation/thermal conductive foil materials.
T-P INS 2 and T-P INS 3 A0/A1 are high-performance electrically insulating, thermally conductive interface materials that offer thermal conductivity of 1.8-3W/mK. Further features include high tensile strength (≥0.8-1.0) designed to prevent cut through and electrical shorts, low thermal impedance (0.16˚C in2/W), no viscosity and a thickness of 0.18-0.30mm, making them the ideal material choice for access control, computer and network & communications applications including SMPS, telecom devices, visual devices, networking products, LCD-TV, notebook PC’s, PC’s, etc. Full material specifications can be found at http://www.ventec-group.com/products/thermal-interface-material/.
To offer even greater value to customers, Ventec continues to maintain and build upon its one-stop-service solution for PCB materials to the European PCB and electronics industry, by offering a range of third party products that complement its own extensive product range, including flexible laminates (ThinFlex/Arisawa) and a full range of PCB production consumable products covering standard and specialty (Centrum & Glossback) drill materials, copper foils including ACF.

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
Trouble in Your Tank: Causes of Plating Voids, Pre-electroless Copper
05/09/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIn the business of printed circuit fabrication, yield-reducing and costly defects can easily catch even the most seasoned engineers and production personnel off guard. In this month’s column, I’ll investigate copper plating voids with their genesis in the pre-plating process steps.
Elephantech: For a Greener Tomorrow
04/16/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineNobuhiko Okamoto is the global sales and marketing manager for Elephantech Inc., a Japanese startup with a vision to make electronics more sustainable. The company is developing a metal inkjet technology that can print directly on the substrate and then give it a copper thickness by plating. In this interview, he discusses this novel technology's environmental advantages, as well as its potential benefits for the PCB manufacturing and semiconductor packaging segments.
Trouble in Your Tank: Organic Addition Agents in Electrolytic Copper Plating
04/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere are numerous factors at play in the science of electroplating or, as most often called, electrolytic plating. One critical element is the use of organic addition agents and their role in copper plating. The function and use of these chemical compounds will be explored in more detail.
