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.

The Chemical Connection: Reducing Etch System Water Usage, Part 2
05/02/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionIn my last column, I reviewed some relatively simple ways to reduce water usage in existing etch systems: cutting down cooling coil water flow, adding chillers to replace plant water for cooling, lowering flow rate nozzles for rinses, etc. This month, I’ll continue with more ways to control water usage in your etcher. Most of these are not easily retrofittable to existing equipment but should be given serious consideration when new equipment is contemplated. With the right combination of add-ons, it is possible to bring the amount of water used in an etch system to almost zero.
Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
