Standards are created by committees of industry volunteers. Task groups have been formed in China, the United States, and Denmark. IPC Standard Tree. Standards published by IPC include: General documents. IPC-T-50 Terms and Definitions; IPC-2615 Printed Board Dimensions and Tolerances; IPC-D-325 Documentation Requirements for Printed Boards
The IPC-NC-349 format is the only IPC standard governing drill and routing formats. [5] XNC is a strict subset of IPC-NC-349, Excellon a big superset. Many indefinite NC files pick some elements of the IPC standard. [1] A digital rights managed copy of the specification is available from the IPC website, for a fee.
For example, a metric 2520 component is 2.5 mm by 2.0 mm which corresponds roughly to 0.10 inches by 0.08 inches (hence, imperial size is 1008). Exceptions occur for imperial in the two smallest rectangular passive sizes. The metric codes still represent the dimensions in mm, even though the imperial size codes are no longer aligned.
The IPC preferred term for an assembled board is circuit card assembly (CCA), [20] and for an assembled backplane it is backplane assembly. "Card" is another widely used informal term for a "printed circuit assembly". For example, expansion card. A PCB may be printed with a legend identifying the components, test points, or identifying
The most common [citation needed] standards for conformal coating are IPC A-610 [9] and IPC-CC-830. [10] These standards list indications of good and bad coverage and describe various failure mechanisms, such as dewetting. Another type of coating called parylene is applied with a vacuum deposition process at ambient temperature. Film coatings ...
IPC standards revised the definition of a microvia in 2013 to a hole with depth to diameter aspect ratio of 1:1 or less, and the hole depth not to exceed 0.25mm. Previously, microvia was any hole less than or equal to 0.15mm in diameter [ 2 ]
IPC-9071A [13] attempted to address this by focusing on 2nd level interconnects (i.e. package to PCB substrate). The challenge with this standard is that it has been more adopted by OEMs than component manufacturers, who tend to view it as an application-specific issue.
IEEE 200-1975 or "Standard Reference Designations for Electrical and Electronics Parts and Equipments" is a standard that was used to define referencing naming systems for collections of electronic equipment. IEEE 200 was ratified in 1975. The IEEE renewed the standard in the 1990s, but withdrew it from active support shortly thereafter.
