Printed board flatness is largely affected by a change in intrinsic properties through exposure to variances in temperature. The worst case deviation of the printed board from flatness may be at room temperature, peak temperature during reflow, or at any temperature in between. Printed board flatness must therefore be characterized during the entire reflow thermal cycle, and not solely at room...
This document standardizes the performance parameters for air moving devices. The phrase "air moving device" (or "air mover") refers to equipment such as, fans, blowers and other forced air movement technologies. These air moving devices are used in the electronics industry for the cooling of heat-producing components, and range from small devices mounted directly to hot components such as...

The IPC-6013D covers qualification and performance requirements for flexible printed boards designed to IPC-2221 and IPC-2223. The flexible printed board may be single-sided, double-sided, multilayer or rigid-flex multilayer. All of these constructions may include stiffeners, PTHs, microvias, and blind/buried vias. IPC-6013D incorporates new and updated requirements for final finishes, rigid-to...
IPC-4101D-WAM1 covers the requirements for base materials that are referred to as laminate or prepreg. These are to be used primarily for rigid and multilayer printed boards for electrical and electronic circuits. This document contains 65 individual specification sheets that can be searched using keywords. These keywords allow the document's user to find materials of a similar nature, but with...

This document covers requirements and test methods for anisotropically conductive adhesive films used to bond and electrically connect components. Applications include the following: flexible PWB-to-glass, flexible PWB-to-rigid PWB, flip chip-to-glass, flip chip-to-flexible PWB, flip chip-to-rigid PWB, and fine pitch SMD. The adhesive film may be supplied pre-attached to a flexible circuit or...
IPC-3406 offers guidelines for selecting electrically conductive adhesives for use in electronics manufacturing as solder alternatives. The process discussion attempts to stay within the bounds of the existing solder assembly infrastructure. Both major types of adhesives, isotropic (conducting equally in all directions) and anisotropic (unidirectional conductivity) are covered. Polymer adhesives...
This standard establishes the requirements for generation of electronic symbols used in the documentation of electronic diagrams that define the electrical interconnectivity of electronic products. The descriptions pertain to schematic symbols, logic symbols or Boolean truth tables required to define the circuit configuration. Where appropriate, the standard also includes methodology for defining...
This standard addresses the industry need for exchange of information regarding the materials used to protect products during shipment between supply chain partners. This standard is one of several in the 175x series of standards that permits segmentation of declaration details based on the subject and scope of the declaration. This standard describes essential information exchange content with...
IPC-1756 establishes the requirements for exchanging manufacturing data between suppliers and customers for electrical and electronic products.
