MIL-PRF-55110 New Amendment 1 for Revision H

MIL-PRF-55110, “Printed Wiring Board, Rigid, General Specification for,” has just been updated and the new Revision H with Amendment 1 interfiled is available now from Document Center Inc.  Formerly known as MIL-P-55110, this specification has been an essential PWB document for quite some time.  However, ever since the end of 1997, it is only used for replacement purposes.  For new design, be sure to use MIL-PRF-31032.

There has been quite a bit of updating lately for our standards and specs on Printed Wiring/Circuit Boards.  The IPC-A-600, IPC-A-610, and J-STD-001 have all be revised as well.  The MIL-PRF-55110 complements these other  publications by addressing U.S. government requirements used during the procurement cycle.  It is a performance specification, defining qualification requirements for rigid single-sided, double-sided, and multilayered printed wiring boards.  These boards may or may not be plated through holes.  Detailed requirements may be further specified in referenced drawings and other documentation.

Those of you using the MIL-PRF-55110 will want to know where the changes instituted by the Amendment 1 will be found.  For your convenience, black lines have been inserted into the margins where the changes occur.  New references are made to the Qualified Products Database 55110, a change in how the QML or QPL information is made available to government contractors.  There’s also an administrative update to how CAGE code information is provided.

Technical changes occur in Annex A sections A.3.5, A.3.5.1, A.3.5.5.1, A.3.6.1, A.3.6.2.1.1, A.3.6.2.1.2, Table A-III, A.3.6.4.5, A.3.7.4.6.2, A.3.7.6.2.1.2, A.4.5.1, A.4.6.2.2, Table A-VI, A.4.7, A.4.7.1.1, A.4.8.2.1, and A.7.3.  In Annex D, look for changes in section D.4.2.  In Annex F there’s a change in Figure F-4’s notes.  Figure G-22 has been revised in Annex G.  For Annex H, Table H-I has been updated.  As always, the document does note that all changes may not have been marked so it is your responsibility to make sure you meet all it’s requirements.
