These are to be used primarily for rigid and multilayer printed boards for electrical and electronic circuits. This document contains 64 individual specification sheets that can be searched using keywords. These keywords allow the document's user to find materials of a similar nature, but...
This guideline standard is intended to aid in interpretation of the requirements in IPC-9191, "General Guidelines for Implementation of Statistical process Control," specifically for printed board assembly (PBA) manufacture. This document and IPC-9191 should be used together; the standards are cross-referenced to each other in the Appendices of this guideline. This standard promotes process...
Encapsulation, for the purpose of IPC-7621 standard, is defined as a low pressure molded thermoplastic, e.g., polyamide, which is brought to a liquid state and injection molded and (rather quickly) returned to a temperature below its melting point., forming a durable yet pliable (rubbery-like) form. The desired performance characteristics of low pressure molding (LPM) encapsulation depend on the...
This document is a tool for a customer or supplier organization's internal audit group to assess a statistical process control (SPC) system against the requirements of IPC-9191. This document should be used by customers and suppliers of any size and for any commodity. This tool can be used to perform an assessment of the use of SPC at both organizational and process levels. The questions in this...
