Hi mates, just my 2cents worth... some folks (like us) have product runs that have BGA using no-clean, coupled that with Class3 IPC-A-610 specs, topped with aerospace/military customer defined specs. we end up cleaning NC with a degreaser machine w

Specs for Bow and Twist for PCBs (IPC-A-610C, 10.6. There may be an update by now). I also have a note in our quality guide referencing (IPC-TM-650, 2.4.22) and (MIL-STD-105D). In summary, a PCB should not bow more than 0.040" with all four corner

Q1: Are the markings on resistors the actual value? A1: Generally, resistor marking indicates the value of the device, where the first two digits are the value and the third digit is the multiplier. Q2: Do AOI machines look for these markings or do

Hi Again, In answer to DaveF - Yes solder is fine where the solder paste is deposited , but the part of the pad visible after pasting is still visible after reflow. Previously the solder paste & all the gold diffused & flowed giving a complete silve

Dear SM Rookies, Another acceptable test method is visual inspection. IPC-A-610 details what to look for with different contaminants, providing magnified pictures of the possible visual residues. With an existing cleaning process, magnification

Dear Patrick, Unfortunately we do not know what exactly the failure as our customer refuse to reveal to us. From visual inspection the solder joints are smooth and shiny as per IPC-A-610 requirements. The component supplier (IR) commended that they

With the new rev D release of IPC-A_610 came a new section 10.2.9.3 which identifies a via (through hole) with nicks along the inside of the annular ring. Defect is all three classes and states "Damage to conductor or lands". We have for years defa

I am looking for an industry standard �stock� note to place on our printed circuit board assembly drawings that will capture a level of cleanliness for an IPC-A-610 class 2 board assembly. I�m looking for some quantitative spec for cleanliness that w
