IPC-A-610, “Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies,” has just been updated. There’s a new Amendment 1 available for Revision F and you’ll want a copy if you use this important electronic assembly standard. It is being issued in conjunction with a new Amendment 1 for the J-STD-001 so you may want to get both amendments at the same time.
IPC-A-610 is one of the most frequently ordered assembly standards here at Document Center Inc. So the new Amendment 1 is big news. Here are the changes as specified by IPC:
- Reintroduce the Space Shuttle symbol to show where there are different criteria in the J-STD-001FS, “Space Applications Electronic Hardware Addendum” to IPC J-STD-001F, “Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assemblies”
- Revise the Class 2 requirements for vertical solder fill on plated through holes with less than 14 leads to include requirements when there is a connected internal thermal plane
- Eliminate requirements for BGA voiding for BGA components with noncollapsing balls
