IPC Class Requirements in PCB Production
1. Acquire final product control of high quality and reliability.
2. Improve communication with many employees and suppliers.
3. Reduce the cost of PCB.
4. Raise your reputation and create new opportunities.
In order to use these PCB Classes, users need to know the terminology provided by IPC, which in turn helps to communicate and purchase their Classes.
Terms in the IPC Class include
1. Acceptance test: Check whether the product is up to standard according to the requirements of PCB user or buyer or seller.
2. Assembly: Include connections or assemblies of various parts, and assembly together.
3. Anti-corrosive agent: plays a role in protecting the coating material of the product during the manufacturing and testing processes such as electroplating, etching, welding, etc.
Integrated Circuits (IC): Various electronic circuits are interconnected in one place with a material to perform the required functions according to the application.
5. Elastic strength: refers to the tensile strength of the material fibers, which can be bent, folded or rotated.
6. Key operations: refers to the complete operation, process and characteristics of the product.
IPC Classes for PCB design, PCB production and PCB assembly are relevant at each stage to achieve high-quality products and maintain a competitive spirit throughout the production process. In every stage of PCB design and production, these are related and implemented one after another to achieve the desired output products.
These Classes are suitable for three types of electronic products related to printed circuit boards.
Type 1: General PCB related electronic products. This type of product is a daily-use product, mainly used to complete the integrated functions.
Type 2: Service electronics (exclusive). It refers to the high performance, high reliability and long life of the product. Uninterrupted services are preferred for an end-use environment that will not cause any damage.
Type 3: High performance electronics. Refers to continuous and on-demand performance. Since there is no downtime device, it should work when needed. Ultimately, the environment can be harsh and related products are used as life support systems.
