This original research was a cooperative effort between the EMPF and IPC, released as EMPF-RR-0013 in 1993 for better understanding of ionic cleanliness testing. The IPC Ionic Conductivity/Ion Chromatography Test Task Group has validated its continued importance and relevance to the cleaning community and IPC-TR-583 is the result. It includes how solvent temperature influences the final...

This document details the test procedures, test results and team conclusions for the IPC Cleaning and Cleanliness Testing Program, Phase 3, Low Solids Flux in Ambient Air. This effort has been part of a multi-stage program to investigate material and process alternatives to the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in electronics manufacturing. This Phase 3 effort has been dedicated to characterizing...

This Technical Report details the investigations into identifying stress tests that distinguish between robust and non-robust surface finishes. A robust finish will pass a test for solderability whereas a non-robust finish will fail. The stress tests identified do not necessarily duplicate real world environment (fabrication of the bare printed board through assembly), but they must correlate to...

IPC-TR-587 technical report delivers results of a major study on conformal coating. In most manufacturing specifications, conformal coating thickness is defined as the thickness of the final polymer film on a flat, unencumbered surface of the assembly, however conformal coating thickness on other assembly and component surfaces is not characterized. IPC-TR-587 is a report outlining an IPC study of...

A Technical Paper by Dr. Jack Brous discussing ionic cleanliness measurement, testing methods and cleanliness standards in relation to product reliability. Also includes a brief discussion of no-clean fluxes. 8 pages. Released 1994

This technical report provides the documentation of a round robin testing effort that generated data used by the 4-14 Plating Processes Subcommittee in developing the maximum immersion silver plating thickness requirement in the revision A of IPC-4553. This compendium of data resulted from three information sets: a) Test vehicle assembly report by Celestica, b) Thermal cycle test report by...
