Requirements for Soldered Electrical and Electronic Assembly (Includes amendment 1)

This is the industry standard for commercial and high-reliability assemblies. MIL-STD-2000 has been cancelled, leaving J-STD-001B as the sole industry-consensus standard for soldering. This standard describes materials, methods and verification criteria for producing quality soldered interconn-ections and assemblies. Co-produced with EIA. 70 pages. Revised October 1996.

Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies
(Includes amendment 1)

A must for all quality assurance departments, IPC-A-620B illustrates industry-accepted workmanship critira through full-color photographs and schematic illustrations. The topics covered include component orientation and soldering criteria for through-hole, SMT and discrete wiring assemblies.

IPC-A-610B is valuable for all inspectors, operators and trainers. This visual guide provides each company with a clear representation of electroncics acceptability criteria based on the consensus of industry experts. 134 pages. Revised December 1994. Amendment 1 released January 1996.

Handbook and Guide to the Requirements of Soldered Electronic Assemblies to Supplement ANSI/J-STD-001B

J-STD-001B established practices and requirements for the assembly, soldering processes, soldered connections, cleaning, coating/encapsulation, rework and verification of soldered electrical and electronic assemblies. IPC-HDBK-001 offers explanation of the requirements of J-STD-001B. The handbook also provides a better understanding of the process considerations needed when producing acceptable soldered hardware. 188 pages. Released March 1998.
