IPC STANDARDS IN ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY

IPC Standards in Electronic Industry

IPC, stands for Association Connecting Electronics Industries, and it is the abbreviation of its initial name “Institute of Printed Circuits” in the fall of 1957. IPC is the only trade association that brings together all of the players in this industry: designer, PCB manufacturers, assembly companies, suppliers, and original equipment manufacturers. IPC has been dedicated to removing supply chain obstacles, creating industry standards, and supporting the advancement of the electronics industry, including printed circuit board manufacturing and assembly field.

IPC Terminology

 

For helping the users to understand and work with IPC standards, IPC provides definitions of terms it uses. The common terminology can also make communication more accurate and efficient across the industry. You can purchase a full list of names and definitions from IPC, but there are a few examples of the kinds of terms you may want to know.

Three Classes of Electronic Products

 

  • Class 1 – general electronic products: Class one products are for applications in which the primary requirement is the function of the completed assembly. This class includes most typical everyday products.
  • Class 2 – dedicated service electronic products: Class two products must have high reliability and extended life. Uninterrupted service is preferable, but not critical. The use environment of the product typically wouldn’t cause failures.
  • Class 3 – high-performance electronic products: Class three products must provide continued performance or performance on demand. There can be no equipment downtime, and the end-use environment may be exceptionally harsh. The equipment must function when required. This category includes critical systems such as life support systems.

Here are some other terms you may want to know.

 

  • Acceptance tests: The tests required to determine whether a product is acceptable, as agreed upon by the purchaser and vendor.
  • Assembly: Several parts, subassemblies or combinations thereof joined together.
  • Resist: A coating material used to mask or protect certain areas of a pattern during manufacturing or testing from the action of an etchant, plating, solder, etc.
  • Integrated circuit: A combination of inseparable associated circuit elements formed in place and interconnected on or within a single base material to perform a microcircuit function.
  • Flexural strength: The tensile strength of the outermost fiber of a material that must bend.
  • Critical operation: One procedure of a total process that has a significant impact on the characteristics of the completed product.
