Performance Guide Manual for Single-Sided and Double-Sided Flexible Printed Wiring Boards

The first joint standard developed by the Japan Printed Circuit Association (JPCA) and IPC, IPC/JPCA-6202 covers the requirements and considerations for single- and double-sided flexible printed boards. IPC/JPCA-6202 includes over 30 figures on accept/reject criteria for flexible printed boards and an appendix on the handling of polyimide-based flexible printed boards. Also included are all seven Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) test methods referenced in IPC/JPCA-6202. 102 pages. Released February 1999.

Assembly Guidelines for Single-Sided and Double-Sided Flexible Printed Circuits

Provides guidelines for the assembly of components and mounting hardware to single- and double-sided flexible printed wiring. In addition, the guidelines describe the type of materials and processes that may be used to accomplish the proper electronic assembly. 30 pages. Released February 1992.

Qualification and Performance Specification for Flexible Printed Boards(With IPC-6011, supersedes IPC-RF-245 and IPC-FC-250A)

Covers qualification and performance requirements for flexible printed boards. The flexible printed board may be single-sided, double-sided, multilayer or rigid-flex multilayer. All of these constructions may or may not include stiffeners, plated through-holes and blind/buried vias. For use with IPC-6011. 100 pages. Released November 1998.

Sectional Design Standard for Flexible Printed Boards(With IPC-2221, supersedes IPC-D-249)

Provides the user with updated materials considerations, new sections on board configurations, equations on minimum bend radius, differential lengths and new technical illustrations. For use with IPC-2221. 40 pages. Released November 1998.

Flexible Bare Dielectrics for Use in Flexible Printed Wiring

Establishes the requirement for flexible base dielectric materials to be used for the fabrication of flexible printed wiring and flexible flat cable. Includes slash sheet amendment. 27 pages. Revised April 1992.

Adhesive Coated Dielectric Films for Use as Cover Sheets for Flexible Printed Wiring and Flexible Bonding Films(Supersedes IPC-FC-233A

Establishes the requirements for dielectric films coated with an adhesive (on one side) that are used as Cover sheets for flexible printed wiring dielectric films (coated on one side or two sides) with adhesive and for unsupported adhesive films to be used in the fabrication of flexible printed wiring. 36 pages. Released August 1992.

Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Assembly Guidelines for Single-Sided and Double-Sided Printed Circuits

Provides information on adhesive types available and the processes suggested for their proper use IPC-FC-234 also highlights strengths, weaknesses and limitations and gives an explanation on how to start implementation. IPC-FC-234 also suggests guidelines for the use of pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) in single- or double-sided flexible printed circuits, membrane switches and component attachments. It also describes the type of materials and processes that may be used to accomplish proper assemblies. 18 pages. Released December 1997.

Flexible Metal-Clad Dielectrics for Use in Fabrication of Flexible Printed Wiring

Establishes the requirement for flexible metal-clad dielectrics to be used for the fabrication of flexible printed wiring. Includes slash sheet amendment. 22 pages. Revised April 1992.
