This document bears two reference numbers, and may be obtained from IPC or the IEC. IPC-D-350D and IEC 1182-1 are identical in technical content. The IEC version of this document also contains a French translation. The IEC is responsible for the accuracy of that translation.Specifies record formats used to describe printed board products with detail sufficient for tooling, manufacturing and...
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...
The IPC-7525C standard provides guidance for the design and fabrication of stencils for solder paste and surface-mount adhesive with much of the content based on the experience of stencil designers, fabricators, and users.
IPC J-STD-005B standard lists the requirements for qualification and characterization of solder paste. It references test methods, criteria, and metal content, viscosity, slump, solder ball, tack and wetting of solder pastes. Additional support is provided in IPC-HDBK-005, Guide to Solder Paste Assessment.
