IPC-7094A describes the design and assembly challenges for implementing flip chip technology in a direct chip attach (DCA) assembly. The effect of bare-die or die-size components in a flip chip format has an impact on component characteristics and dictates the appropriate assembly methodology. The IPC-7094A standard focuses on design, assembly methodology, critical inspection, repair and...
Surface Insulation Resistance (SIR) testing is a tool used not only for characterization testing of production processes such as solder masks, soldering flux, and conformal coatings, but also for examining the electrochemical reactions at each stage of the electronic assembly production process. This handbook covers the terminology, theories, test procedures and test vehicles of SIR testing...
This standard provides a marking and labeling system that aids in assembly, rework, repair and recycling and provides for the identification of: those assemblies that are assembled with lead-containing or lead-free solder; components that have lead-containing or lead-free second level interconnect terminal finishes and materials; the maximum component temperature not to be exceeded during assembly...
The IPC-9709A standard guideline document establishes an Acoustic Emission (AE) method to enhance evaluation of the performance and reliability of surface mount attachments of electronic assemblies during mechanical loading.
Covers the requirements for copper/invar/copper (CIC), copper/molybdenum/ copper (CMC) and three-layer composites for use in electronic applications.
IPC-6012E-AM1 is an Amendent to the IPC-6012E that clarifes the distinction between receding and dewetting solder in reflowed SPb or HASL coatings. The Amendment also provides amended criteria for minimum external conductor thickness of the finished printed board and new acceptance criteria for the minimum thickness of internal plated layers
Amendment 1 to IPC-7711/21C, the document provides procedures for removal and installation of D-Pak components
The IPC-6012EM Addendum, when required by procurement documentation/drawings, supplements or replaces specifically identified requirements of IPC-6012E, for rigid printed boards that must meet requirements to high reliability medical device applications. IPC-6012EM is the only global industry-consensus standard for Medical Applications to Qualification and Performance Specifications for Rigid...

The IPC-6012EA Addendum, when required by procurement documentation/drawings, supplements or replaces specifically identified requirements of IPC-6012 revision E, for rigid printed boards that must survive the vibration and thermal cycling environments of electronic interconnects within the automotive industry. The addendum includes updated requirements for lifted lands, pattern feature accuracy...
IPC/WHMA-A-620E-S space addendum provides additional requirements to IPC/WHMA-A-620E standard to ensure the reliability of cable and wire harness assemblies that must survive the vibration and thermal excursions encountered getting to and operating in the military and space environments. IPC/WHMA-A-620E-S cannot be used as a standalone document. It must be used with the base standard IPC/WHMA-A...
The IPC-6012FS space addendum provides exceptions to IPC Performance Class 3 requirements of the IPC-6012F for use in space and military avionics product. Exceptions include changes to acceptance criteria and/or sample size and test frequency for production lot acceptance testing. The IPC-6012FS covers requirements for rigid printed boards to survive vibration, extreme thermal cycling and ground...
The IPC-6013EM Addendum, when required by procurement documentation/drawings, supplements or replaces specifically identified requirements of IPC-6013E, for flexible/rigid-flexible printed boards that must meet requirements to high reliability medical device applications. IPC-6013EM is the only global industry-consensus standard addendum for Medical Applications to Qualification and Performance...
IPC/WHMA-A-620C-R rail transit addendum provides additional requirements to IPC/WHMA-A-620C standard, describing materials, methods, tests, and acceptance criteria for producing crimped, mechanically secured, and soldered interconnections. It also provides the related assembly activities associated with cable and harness assemblies in rail transit industry, to ensure the high reliability and...
This standard is the first of its kind for IPC; the first acceptability standard for electronic enclosures. It contains acceptability criteria that pertain to the "box build" of the assembly process. This standard has been written to direct manufacturers and end users of electronic enclosures of electrical and electronic equipment to understand the best practices to meet requirements, ensuring the...
IPC-6012F Redline document shows the changes from IPC-6012E to IPC-6012F in a side-by-side comparison of the two documents. The IPC-6012F redline is available in both electronic and hardcopy format.
This redline provides a side-by-side comparison the changes from Revision C to Revision D of IPC-7711/21.
IPC/WHMA-A-620E-RL is a redline document showing the difference from IPC/WHMA-A-620D to IPC/WHMA-A-620E. IPC/WHMA-A-620E-RL provides a side-by-side comparison of the two documents and includes the figures and tables. The document shows deleted/changed text in the IPC/WHMA-A-620D pages and new/revised text in the IPC/WHMA-A-620E pages. Due to the complexity of this document, it is only available in...
These tables are from IPC/WHMA-A-620 Revision B Chapter 19 Testing. They are provided in an electronic format that permits users to edit the tables to add user-specific criteria. These files are authorized for copying/reproduction.
