Ventec introduces hydrocarbon laminate for RF and microwave applications
Expanding its hydrocarbon PCB laminate range, Ventec International introduces a new material for RF and microwave applications. The tec-speed 20.0 VTM1000i hydrocarbon laminate is the latest addition to the tec-speed 20.0 range of hydrocarbon-based PCB materials. It offers a level of thermal reliability and high Dk (9.8) and low Df (0.0023) that is typically seen only in PTFE materials, said the company. The new hydrocarbon laminate is a lower budget laminate for high-end RF applications, including satellite communications and 5G RF applications, said Ventec International.
Designed for antenna and communication systems, radar and aviation systems, tec-speed 20.0 VTM1000i is available in a range of dielectric thickness, from 0.38 to 3.81mm. It offers high decomposition temperature (Td) of 426 degrees C.
With regards to power integrity, the high Dk value (9.8 ± 0.0245 at 10Ghz) provides larger interplanar capacitance than other hydrocarbon laminates in this range, claimed Ventec.
Manufactured at Ventec’s state-of-the-art facilities based in Taiwan and China, tec-speed 20.0 VTM1000i is available worldwide via Ventec’s managed global supply chain, providing reliable, disruption-free delivery in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, said the company.
tec-speed 20.0 VTM1000i will debut at the IPC APEX Expo 2023 in San Diego, California, USA (24 to 26 January 2023) on booth 419.
