In the field of electronic manufacturing, printed circuit boards (PCBs) are indispensable components, and their quality directly affects the performance and reliability of the entire electronic product. To ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices, engineers need to be well-informed about international PCB standards. Below are some commonly used standards, which we hope will be helpful to everyone.
1. IPC-ESD-2020
This standard focuses on the development of electrostatic discharge (ESD) control programs, providing guidance for handling during ESD-sensitive periods. ESD control is crucial in the PCB manufacturing process, as static electricity can damage electronic components.
2. IPC-SA-61A & IPC-AC-62A
These two standards address cleaning operations after soldering, including semi-aqueous and aqueous cleaning. They detail the chemical, production residues, equipment, processes, and environmental safety factors that should be considered during the cleaning process.
3. IPC-DRM-40E
This standard provides evaluation methods for through-hole solder joints, offering a basis for quality inspection of solder joints through detailed descriptions and 3D graphics.
4. IPC-TA-722
This manual covers all aspects of soldering techniques, from basic soldering to advanced techniques such as wave soldering and reflow soldering, providing engineers with comprehensive soldering knowledge.
5. IPC-7525
This standard guides the design and manufacturing of solder paste and surface mount adhesive stencil, which is crucial for improving PCB manufacturing efficiency and quality.
6. IPC/EIAJ-STD-004, IPC/EIAJ-STD-005 & IPC/EIAJ-STD-006A
These standards specify the requirements for flux, solder paste, and electronic-grade solder alloys, ensuring the quality and performance of soldering materials.
7. IPC-Ca-821
This standard specifies the requirements for thermally conductive adhesives, providing guidance for the reliable fixation of components.
8. IPC-AJ-820
This is a comprehensive manual on assembly and soldering, covering all aspects from material selection to final testing, providing guidance for the complete PCB manufacturing process.
9. IPC-7530
This standard focuses on temperature curve control during batch soldering processes, which is crucial for ensuring soldering quality.
10. IPC-M-I08 & IPC-CH-65-A
These two standards provide cleaning guidance and cleaning instructions, helping engineers choose the best cleaning methods and control various factors during the cleaning process.
11. IPC-9201
This manual focuses on testing surface insulation resistance, ensuring the reliability and safety of electronic products.
