IPC COMPLIANT 9850 Kit

Practical Components has a new test board and kit made in an effort to equally evaluate pick and place machines. The IPC has outlined standards for rating the accuracy of pick and place machines and this board is capable according to the requirements set by interim IPC9850.

Each board contains pads for 4,400 components total (440 SOT23s, 440 SO8s, 880 0603SMCs, 880 0603SMRs, 880 0402SMCs and 880 0402SMRs).

All boards from Practical are available as single boards or complete kits with all necessary dummy components.

This interim standard requires the placement of 88,000 components and Practical�s kit of 20 will meet this guideline. Each kit contains enough components to machine run the specified number of boards and a roll of sticky tape. Though this board is designed for placement with tape only, it can also also be printed with solder paste and reflowed.

On request this board comes with demonstration versions of CircuitCAM and CheckPoint manufacturing software, ready-to-run CircuitCAM Project Files (CPFs) and Gerber and X, Y Theta data at no extra charge.
