IPC-A-610 Guide: Classes, Acceptance Criteria, and PCBA Use
Saying “IPC compliant” is not enough for a PCB assembly order. The RFQ should state the standard revision, the required class, any customer exceptions, and any separate inspection or reporting requirements. IPC-A-610J, Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies, is the revision used in this guide. The local March 2024 document supersedes IPC-A-610H from September 2020. Before using…
SMT Meaning: Surface-Mount Technology Explained
SMT means Surface-Mount Technology: a method of attaching electronic components directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). Rather than inserting long component leads through drilled holes, SMT uses small surface-mount components that are placed on solder-coated pads and permanently connected through controlled heating. In practical terms, SMT is what makes modern electronics…
