This standard establishes the classification system, the qualification and quality conformance requirements for dielectric films coated with an adhesive on one or both sides, which are to be used as cover material and/or bondply for flexible printed circuitry, and supported or unsupported adhesive films to be used in the fabrication of flexible printed circuitry.
The IPC-CC-830C standard establishes qualification and conformance requirements for electrical insulating compounds (conformal coatings). It has been designed and constructed with the intent of obtaining maximum confidence in the materials with minimum test redundancy. The IPC-CC-830C standard covers: • The qualification and qualification retention of the conformal coating material (Table 3-1...
Developed by the OEM council of the IPC, IPC-1720A categorizes electronic assembly manufacturer capabilities and supplies the OEM customer with detailed, substantive information. This program simplifies auditing processes and reduces the frequency of audits, thereby decreasing paperwork and improving efficiency. Company and Site Description, Site Capability Snap Shot, Equipment Profile (Pre-site...
IPC-7526A handbook addresses understencil cleanliness during stencil printing, removal of solder paste from stencils following the cleaning process and misprint PCB board cleaning considerations.
This document standardizes the requirements for power conversion devices (PCDs) for the computer and telecommunications industries. The phrase “power conversion devices” refers to ac to dc and dc to dc modules, converters and power supplies. This specification sets the requirements for design; qualification testing; conformance testing and manufacturing quality/reliability processes, but does not...
The IPC-7093A standard provides essential design and assembly guidance for implementing bottom termination components (BTCs). Specifically, IPC-7093A provides guidelines on critical design, materials, assembly, inspection, repair, quality, and reliability issues associated with BTCs.
This standard prescribes the nomenclature, requirements and test methods for electronic grade solder alloys; for fluxed and non-fluxed bar, ribbon and powder solders for electronic soldering applications; and for ‘‘special’’ electronic grade solders. This is a quality control standard and is not intended to relate directly to the material’s performance in the manufacturing process. Solders for...
IPC-4556A Standard sets the requirements for the use of Electroless Nickel/Electroless Palladium/ Immersion Gold (ENEPIG) as a surface finish for printed boards. IPC-4556A standard defines ENEPIG deposit thicknesses for applications including soldering, wire bonding, and as a contact finish.
The IPC-1752B standard establishes the requirements for exhanging material and substance data between suppliers and their customers for electrical and electronics products and other produicts. IPC-1752B includes data fields to help supply chain members transfer materials data required for submission into the ECHA SCIP database.
Amendment 1 to IPC-1751A standard provides the principles and details for declarations necessary between members of a supply chain relationship. This standard is the first in a series of standards that permits segmentation of declaration details based on the subject and scope of the declaration as well as the manufacturing domain. This standard contains general information and is supplemented by...
Strain gage testing allows for objective analysis of the strain and strain rate levels to which a surface mount package may be subjected to during assembly, test and operation. Excessive strain can result in various failure modes for different solder alloys, package types, surface finishes or laminate materials. This document describes specific guidelines for strain gage testing during the printed...
The IPC-4202C standard covers the requirements for flexible base materials, herein referred to as laminates, prepregs or films, to be used primarily for flexible printed boards for electrical and electronic circuits
The IPC-9701B standard establishes a thermal cycling test method to characterize the fatigue lifetimes of surface mount solder attachments of electronic assemblies. The surface mount devices may be solder-attached to rigid, flexible or rigid-flex printed boards. The characterization results can be used to predict the field lifetime of solder attachments for the use environments and conditions of...
This standard provides a marking and labeling system that aids in assembly, rework, repair and recycling and provides for the identification of: 1. those assemblies that are assembled with lead-containing or lead-free solder; 2. components that have lead-containing or lead-free second level interconnect terminal finishes and materials; 3. the maximum component temperature not to be exceeded during...
This standard establishes the requirements for timely customer notification of changes to electronic products and associated processes.
This standard is applicable to suppliers of, and affected customers for, electronic products and their constituent components. The goal of this notification standard is to better enable customers to manage and mitigate the disruption caused by the discontinuation of a product and to ensure continuity of supply. This standard establishes the requirements for timely customer notification of planned...
The IPC J-STD-004C WAM1 standard prescribes general requirements for the classification and characterization of fluxes for high quality solder interconnections. The IPC J-STD-004C WAM1 standard may be used for quality control and procurement purposes. Soldering flux materials include the following: liquid flux, paste flux, solder paste, solder cream as well as flux-coated and flux-cored solder...
The IPC-A-640A standard provides acceptance requirements and technical insight that have been removed from acceptance standards for cable and wire harness assemblies incorporating optical fiber, optical cable and hybrid wiring technology. The IPC-A-640A is intended for use by the design engineer, manufacturing engineer, quality engineer and other individuals responsible for tailoring specific...
The IPC-D-640A standard provides design and critical process requirements and technical insight for cable and wire harness assemblies incorporating optical fiber, optical cable and hybrid wiring technology. The IPC-D-640A standard is intended to provide information on the general design requirements for optical fiber, optical cable, hybrid wiring harness assemblies, and Fiber Optic Communications...
The IPC-7801A standard provides requirements for process control of conveyorized solder reflow ovens. It includes a methodology for performing temperature measurements over time to establish a baseline profile, and then provides requirements to verify repeatability through periodic verification of the oven profile.
While there are a variety of industry test vehicles for the examination of material compatibility, the IPC-B-52 test board was created to meet the needs for testing both ion chromatograph and surface insulation resistance (SIR) which would be more representative of the manufacturing materials and processes. IPC-9203A standard addresses the IPC-B-52 test vehicle, which can be used to evaluate a...
IPC/JEDEC J-STD-035A test method defines the procedures for performing acoustic microscopy on nonhermetic encapsulated electronic devices. IPC/JEDEC J-STD-035A method provides users with an acoustic microscopy process flow for detecting anomalies (delaminations, cracks, mold compound voids, etc.) nondestructively in encapsulated electronic devices while achieving reproducibility
The IPC-1921A handbook provides problems, causes and possible corrective actions related to printed board manufacturing processes. Includes more than 200 photos and illustrations depicting common defects.
This standard provides and defines key characteristics and test methods for procuring printed electronics substrates. Includes six materials specification sheets.
