Dougie- We,too, have the IPC-A-600F, and the spec. refers to IPC-TM-650 test method in the back of the book. Look on page Number 2.4.22 of the test methods appendix. This outlines the procedure for determining the percentage of bow and twist,

Solder balls

Can someone helps to interpret the IPC-A-610's requirement on solder balls ( less than 5 mils in diameters.). We found about 6 to 10 balls ( less than 5 mils ) scattered in a 600 sq mm board. Is it consider failing for class 2 product ?. Thank you.

OK, Pete, I just looked all through IPC-A-600G. Saw no mention of scoring anywhere. Please provide specific section number info. Thanks By the way, Chris, thank you for the information - that is really interesting stuff. Would you be willing to a

No, warpage tells you that design and/or fabrication process and/or assembly process need[s] to be corrected. Here's a link to a recent thread on SMTnet that seems to answer some of your questions: http://www.smtnet.com/Forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Mess

2 oz Copper thickness??

Electronics Forum | Tue Apr 23 15:35:45 EDT 2013 | dyoungquist

Check out IPC-A-600. Revision G (July 2004) section 3.2.3 (surface) and section 3.2.4 (internal) give min/max thicknesses for various weight copper. The min also changes depending on what class (1-3) standard you are working to.

SM-840, is a material qualification document only, with all the test requirements applicable only to a defined test coupon, not to production boards. So, it's useless for what you're trying to accomplish. As assemblers use A-610 - Acceptability Of E

Bingo!!! By panelizing and adding breakaway rails (as Nancy says), Stuart can pour copper up to his board fab's tolerance from the board edge. Traditionally, he just wants to make sure no copper shows on the edge of the board. Then again, it's his
