PCB Technical - 5 IPC Standards in Electronics Industry

1. IPC-A-610D (Acceptability Requirements for Electronic Components)

2. J-STD-001D (Welding requirements for electrical and electronic components)

3. IPC-7711/21 (rework&repair of electronic components and printed circuit boards)

4. IPC-A-600G (Acceptance conditions of printed circuit boards)

5. IPC-A-620A (Technical conditions and acceptance requirements for cable and harness assembly)

IPC-A-610, a standard for the acceptability of printed board components, is the most widely used inspection standard in the electronic industry. Internationally, this standard is used to regulate the acceptable level of final products and high reliability circuit board components. At present, IPC-A-610 has been warmly welcomed by global OEM and EMS companies after lead-free content has been added and translated into many languages.

IPC J-STD-001, Requirements for Welded Electrical and Electronic Components

It has become the authoritative manual of the global electronic assembly manufacturing industry. This standard describes the materials, methods, and audit requirements for the manufacture of high-quality lead and lead-free interconnecting components. It emphasizes process control and sets industry common requirements for all aspects of electronic connection.

IPC-7711/21, Rework, Repair and Repair of Electronic Components

Many manufacturers and assembly engineers hope to save a lot of manufacturing costs by reworking and repairing electronic components and PCB boards. They naturally saw the value of IPC-7711/21. This widely used standard provides general skills on through-hole, surface mount rework, connection plate, conductor and laminate repair. It includes tools, materials, methods and procedure requirements for removing and changing coatings, surface mounting and through-hole components. This standard also describes the specification requirements for repair and modification of circuit boards and components. In addition, the standard also adds repair guidance for lead-free, BGAS and flexible circuit boards.

IPC-A-600G, Acceptance Conditions for Printed Circuit Boards

Over the years, IPC-A-600 has achieved the goal of setting standards for PCB process quality by formulating acceptance specifications for ideal, acceptable and rejection conditions on PCB. PCB production personnel and assembly personnel have a deeper understanding of PCB quality inspection with the help of this standard, and at the same time enhance their communication with suppliers and customers. As a result, IPC-A-600 has become one of the most widely used standards.

IPC/WHMA-A-620, Requirements and Acceptance of Cables and Harness Assemblies

IPC/WHMA-A-620A was widely accepted by the international industry after its first publication in 2002, and soon became the most important guiding standard for the process, material and inspection management of the cable harness industry. With the support of the WHMA Industrial Technology Steering Committee, IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards and certification courses have been translated into multiple languages and have been widely recognized internationally as the acceptance standard of end products. The introduction of lead-free welding standards has been added to the new version. At present, IPC/WHMA-A-620 is widely adopted by OEM and EMS companies worldwide.
