IPC-A-610D Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies

Revision D is all new, with more illustrations, updated accept/reject criteria, requirements for BGA and Lead Free assembly and additions to bare board inspection criteria. Reorganized by terminals, through hole and surface mount technologies for easier training and referencing, this revision is a must for all quality assurance and assembly departments. IPC-A-610D illustrates industry-accepted workmanship criteria for electronics assemblies through full-color photographs and illustrations. The topics include component orientation and soldering criteria for through-hole, SMT and discrete wiring assemblies, mechanical assembly, cleaning, marking, coating, and laminate requirements. IPC-A-610 is invaluable for all inspectors, operators and trainers. It provides the industry with a clear representation of electronics acceptability criteria based on the consensus of industry experts. Revision D has over 732 newly added and updated illustrations of acceptability criteria and has been critically reviewed for clarity and accuracy. Expanded content over the previous revision includes more information on supported and unsupported holes, high voltage applications, jumper wires, and new SMT components. The document's authors have contributed their expertise to making the document synchronize to the requirements expressed in other industry consensus documents, including IPC J-STD-001. Revised February 2005.
