Newly revised IPC/WHMA-A-620AS Supplement released – Space Applications Electronic Hardware Addendum

Thursday, July 26th, 2012

IPC has just released IPC/WHMA-A-620AS with amendment 1, “Space Applications Electronic Hardware Addendum,” and it’s available now from Document Center Inc.  This document is a supplement for the IPC/WHMA-A-620, “Requirements and Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies.”

The addendum provides additional requirements over those published in IPC/WHMA-A-620A to ensure the performance of cable and wire harness assemblies that must survive the vibration and thermal cyclic environments getting to and operating in space.

When required by procurement documentation/drawings, this Addendum supplements or replaces specifically identified requirements of IPC/WHMA-A-620A.  Where content criteria are not supplemented, the Class 3 requirements of IPC/WHMA-A-620A apply.

Clauses that are modified or added by IPC-A-620AS are clearly identified in the Table of Contents.  However, there are no clear markings of changes provided by the included amendment.

IPC standards are available from Document Center Inc. at our website, www.document-center.com.  Or consider contacting us by phone (650-591-7600), fax (650-591-7617) or email (info@document-center.com).  Our expert staff are available to assist you with all your standards questions and requirements.
