           PCB STANDARDS IPC STANDARDS

IPC Standards, the results of industry consensus and collaboration, are respected throughout the whole world. Using this standards it allows manufactures, customers and suppliers to speak the same language. with these standards we can get good quality products and it can help to grow your business which adds new customers while satisfying your industry products.

These standards has some sections those are:

  1. Acceptance
  2. Cleaning
  3. Components
  4. General Materials
  5. Process Support
  6. Rework & Repair
  7. Solderability


Lets go and check PCB ASSEMBLY process

1. Acceptance


IPC-A-610E  Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies the most widely used acceptability document. It is the essential guide for all inspectors, operators and trainers. IPC-A-610 illustrates industry-accepted workmanship criteria for electronics assemblies.
Topics include:
  1. Component Orientation and Soldering Criteria for through-hole
  2. SMT and Discrete Wiring Assemblies
  3. Mechanical Assembly
  4. Cleaning, marking, coating and laminate requirements
  5. Lead-free
    IPC-A-610 now has a companion.IPC-HDBK-610 offers explanatory and tutorial information to help with the implementation of the requirements of IPC-A-610 versions B to C. IPC J-STD-001D  Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, is the essential companion for IPC-A-610D. It contains comprehensive, critical details about processes, materials and testing methods for soldered assemblies.


    IPC-A-620  Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies

    is the most comprehensive acceptability standard for cable and wire harness assembly industry.

    Other documents in this range include the desk reference manuals,IPC-DRM-PTH-DThrough-Hole Solder Joint Evaluation Training & Reference Guide and IPC-DRM-SMT-D, Surface Mount Joint Evaluation Training & Reference Guideare the ideal companions for even the most experienced engineer.

     Advanced
    Advanced assembly standards are aimed at more specific areas of manufacturing process. With in depth standards for areas such as flip chip, chip scale and BGA technology

    IPC-SM-784
     Guidelines for Chip-on-Board Technology Implementation, is the most popular standard from this section. It discusses chip types, board selection, design issues and thermal transfer methods for COB applications.

    J-STD-032  Performance Standard for BGA's, working along side IPC-7095 ensure you have the most up to date information on BGA's.

     Cleaning
    Still a major issue during the manufacturing process and still an area where there is much confusion. The standards in this section offer a wide variation of processes and solutions that cover many areas of cleaning in production.

    IPC-M-108Assembly Cleaning Guides and Handbooks is the complete guide to cleaning and is an amalgamation of 6 IPC standards to include all areas of cleaning from post solder solvent (IPC-SC-60) and post-solder aqueous (IPC-AC-65A) to the cleaning of PCB & assemblies (IPC-CH-65 ) and surface insulation (IPC-9201). All guides included in IPC-M-108 are available separately.

     Components

    The identification and handling of components is vital to ensure correct assembly and reliability.
    IPC-DRM-18  Component Identification Training & Reference Guide is a comprehensive guide to the most commonly used through-hole, SMT components and interconnections used in electronic assembly today.

    Other popular standards from this area include J-STD-033  Standard for handling, packing, shipping and Use of Moisture Reflow Sensitive SMD's and J-STD-020 ,Moisture/Sensitivity Classification for Plastic Integrated Circuit SMD'sare two standards which focus directly on the safe use of SMD's. For a complete guide to handling try IPC-M-109Components Handling Series which includes all the latest editions of IPC standards & guidelines related to packaging, handling, storing and testing.

     General
    This section includes the standards that are not otherwise categorised. These range from statistic process control and ISO 9000 requirements to SMT connectors and electrochemical migration.

    IPC-7525 , Stencil Design Guidelines provides information for the design and fabrication of stencils for solder paste and surface mount adhesive.

    IPC have created two documents that are an amalgamation of the most requested documents that relate to a particular area. These areIPC-M-103 Standards for Surface Mount Assemblies and IPC-M-104Standards for Printed Board Assembly.

     Materials
    Raw materials can seriously affect the quality and reliability of PCB's. IPC have produced a range of documents that enable companies to evaluate what is suitable for their requirements.

    J-STD-004A  Requirements for Soldering Fluxes is our most requested document and is a flux characterisation, quality control and procurement document. This is supported by IPC-TP-1090The Layman's Guide to Qualifying New Fluxes for MIL-STD-2000A or MT-0002.

    J-STD-006A Requirements for Electronic Grade Solder Alloys and Fluxed and Non-Fluxed Solid Solders for Electronic Soldering Applications has just been re-released with a new amendment, the most prominent change in Revision A is a new solder alloy nomenclature system.

    Others areas included are dialectic and conductive adhesives, soldering pastes and qualification & performance guides including IPC-SM-840C  which focuses on Permanent Solder Mask.

    Now the complete guides to conformal coating. IPC-CC-830BQualification and Performance of Electrical Insulating Compound for Printed Board Assemblies and IPC-HDBK-830Guidelines for Design, Selection and Application of Conformal Coatings provide all the information required to assist designers and users of conformal coatings in making informed decisions.

     Process Support
    The documents in this section are there to provide technical support to enable the highest quality to be reached.

    J-STD-001(see Acceptance at the top of this page) is the most common item. IPC-HDBK-001 Handbook and Guide to the Requirements of Soldered Electronic Assemblies to Supplement J-STD-001 offers explanatory and tutorial information to help with the implementation of requirements as indicated in J-STD-001C. Other documents that support J-STD-001C are IPC-TP-1114 The Layman's Guide to Qualifying a Process to J-STD-001C and IPC-TR-467 Supporting Data and Numerical Examples for J-STD-001C (Control of Fluxes).

    There are standards which focus on quality and reliability of SMT such as IPC-SM-785  Guidelines for Accelerated Reliability Testing of SMT AttachmentsIPC-S-816 SMT Process Guideline and Checklist and IPC-SM-780  Component Packaging and Interconnecting with Emphasis on Surface Mount.

    IPC have finally put an end to the confusion when calculating defect opportunities for benchmarking with the release of IPC-7912ACalculation of DPMO & Manufacturing Indices for Printed Board Assemblies. Working in conjunction with IPC-9261In-Process DPMO and Estimated Yields for PWA's. A guide to defect categorisation is provided that can serve as a base for summarising and reporting in-process defects when used with J-STD-001 and IPC-A-610. It can also be used to develop process step estimated yield.

     Rework and Repair







    This is one of our most popular documents. IPC-7711/72A  Rework and Repair Guide This is the ultimate guide and provides:
    1. Comprehensive Guides to rework, repair and modification
    2. Clear and detailed illustrations and tables
    3. Detailed analysis of proven techniques and methods
    4. Recommendations and troubleshooting
      They both run in conjunction with IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, IPC-A-600 and IPC-HDBK-001.

       Solderability



      This section mainly aims at testing and evaluation of the solderability of PCB's and their components.
      J-STD-002  focuses on components leads, terminations and wires where as J-STD-003  gives a more general view on tests for printed boards. Others give views on solderability and the effect of different finishes and surfaces such asIPC-TR-461 Solderability Evaluation of Thick and Thin Fused Coatingsand IPC-TR-462 Solderability Evaluation of Printed Boards with Protective Coatings over Long Term Storage.
      Consistency with soldering on a mass scale can be major cause for concern. IPC-7530The Definitive Guide for Temperature Profiling for Mass Soldering (Reflow & Wave) Processes, helps to reduce the chance of reliability failure by assuring metallurgical bonding of the solder alloy and the base metals to be soldered.

      TOP INDIA GREAT YOGA TYPES

      What comes into your mind when you hear the word Yoga?

      Well, if you think of women in seemingly impossible poses, then you may have an inkling of what Yoga is. But that's just it - an inkling. You've got a long way to go before fully understanding Yoga.

      Yoga is an ancient Indian body of knowledge that dates back more than 500" class. The word "Yoga" came from the Sanskrit word "yuj" which means "to unite or integrate." Yoga then is about the union of a person's own consciousness and the universal consciousness.

      Ancient Yogis had a belief that in order for man to be in harmony with himself and his environment, he has to integrate the body, the mind, and the spirit. For these three to be integrated, emotion, action, and intelligence must be in balance. The Yogis formulated a way to achieve and maintain this balance and it is done through exercise, breathing, and Meditation - the three main Yoga structures.

      In Yoga, the body is treated with care and respect for it is the primary instrument in man's work and growth. yoga exercises improve circulation, stimulate the abdominal organs, and put pressure on the glandular system of the body, which can generally result to better health.

      Breathing techniques were developed based on the concept that breath is the source of life. In Yoga, students gain breathing control as they slowly increase their breathing. By focusing on their breathing, they prepare their minds for the next step - Meditation.

      There is a general misconception that in Meditation, your mind has to go blank. It doesn't have to be so. In Meditation, students bring the activities of the mind into focus resulting in a 'quiet' mind. By designing physical poses and breathing techniques that develop awareness of our body yoga helps us focus and relieves us from our everyday stress.

      Six Branches of Yoga



      Hatha Yoga or Yoga of Postures


      It perhaps the path of Yoga you are most familiar with since this is the most popular branch of Yoga in the West. This branch of Yoga uses physical poses or Asana, Breathing Techniques or Pranayama, and Meditation to achieve better health, as well as spirituality. There are many styles within this path - Iyengar, Integral, Astanga, Kripalu, and Jiva Mukti to name a few.

      If what you want is a peaceful mind and a healthy body to go along with it, Hatha Yoga may just be the path for you.

      Bhakti Yoga or Yoga of Devotion



      Bhakti Yoga is the path most followed in India. This is the path of the heart and devotion. Yogis who practice this branch sees the "One" or the Divine in everyone and everything. Bhakti Yoga teaches a person to have devotion to the "One" or to Brahma by developing a person's love and acceptance for all things.


      Raja Yoga or Yoga of Self-Control


      Raja means "royal". This path is considered to be the King of Yoga and this may be due to the fact that most of its practitioners are members of religious and spiritual orders. Raja Yoga is based on the teachings of the Eight Limbs of Yoga found in the Yoga sutras. A Raja Yogi sees the self as central, and as such, respect to oneself and for all creation are vital to this path. They achieve self-respect by first learning to be masters of themselves. If you wish to learn discipline, then Raja Yoga would perfectly suit that need.



      Jnana Yoga or Yoga of the Mind


      Jnana Yoga is the path of Yoga that basically deals with the mind, and as such, it focuses on man's intelligence. Jnana Yogis consider wisdom and intellect as important and they aim to unify the two to surpass limitations. Since they wish to gain knowledge, they are open to other philosophies and religion for they believe that an open and rational mind is crucial in knowing the spirit.



      Karma Yoga or Yoga of Service


      Karma Yoga is the path of service for in this path, it is believed that your present situation is based on your past actions. So by doing selfless service now, you are choosing a future that is free from negativity and selfishness. Karma Yogis change their attitude towards the good and in the process, change their souls, which leads to a change in their destiny.



      Tantra Yoga or Yoga of Rituals




      Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the paths, Tantra Yoga is about using rituals to experience what is sacred. Although sex is a part of it, sex is not the whole of it since this path aims to find what is sacred in everything we do. Tantra Yogis must possess certain qualities like purity, humility, devotion, dedication to his Guru, cosmic love, and truthfulness among other things.

      There are still a lot of misconceptions about Yoga, for instance, Yoga being a religion. Yoga is not a religion. It is more of a set of techniques for us to find spirituality. In fact, Yoga is being practiced by a lot of people from different religions like Christians, Jewish, Buddhists, and Muslims.

      Another misconception is that Yoga is an exercise, a way for us to keep fit. It is partly true, but if you think that Yoga is just that then you are greatly mistaken. Yoga develops the body since a weak one is a hindrance to spiritual growth. It does not simply focus on the physical but on the mental and spiritual aspects as well.

      Yoga in Your Life
      You may ask, "Is Yoga for me?"

      Definitely, yes! Yoga is for anyone who is willing to learn its ways and ideas. It does not actually require any special equipment or clothing. What it requires is your will to have a healthier, stress-free self.

      You may first approach Yoga as a way to achieve a great body or to keep fit and that is perfectly alright. Yoga really does help in improving your health for stretching can tone your muscles and exercise your spine and your entire skeletal system.


      Do not just take advantage of what Yoga can offer. Yoga encourages you to reflect on yourself and to find your inner peace. It exercises not just your body but your mind as well. With a healthy body and mind, you're on your way to a more fulfilling life.
