Technology Assessment Handbook on Laminates

Industry experts have selected 39 of the best articles on laminates for IPC-TA-720. This handbook contains ten sections, each with a technology overview on glass epoxy resin systems, copper foil, rigid epoxy glass, high temperature laminates, thin epoxy glass laminate and prepreg composite laminate, controlled thermal expansion substrates, paper base laminates and high frequency laminaates. Released 1986.

Specification for Base Materials for Rigid and Multilayer Printed Boards
(Supersedes IPC-L-108, IPC-L-112A, IPC-L-115B)

Covers the requirements for base materials (laminate or prepreg) to be used primarily for rigid or multilayer printed boards for electrical and electronic circuits. IPC-4101 includes specification sheets for laminate and prepreg separated by family with a cross-reference to their NEMA and former military designations. 149 pages. Released December 1997.

Laminator Qualification Profile

IPC-1730 is a tool used to categorize a laminate manufacturer's capabilities, which furnishes customer access to detailed information. Used for single or multiple sites or locations, IPC-1730 simplifies auditing processes and reduces the frequency of audits, decreasing paperwork and improving efficiency. The program includes a description, approval and certification profile and a quality profile.

IPC-1730 is supplemented by a Microsoft Word template file, which enables the user to enter, store adn update the various sections in IPC-1730 electronically and submit the data to the customer with ease. 22 pages. Released January 1998.

Dimensional Stability Testing of Thin Laminates - Report on Phase I and Phase II International Round Robin Test Programs

The purpose of Phase I was to define a test procedure to evaluate thin laminate material. The purpose of the Phase II testing was to expand that project by adding a thermal stress cycle to the existing IPC Test Method 2.4.39. This test report offers the results of this testing. 74 pages. Revised March 1991.

Incoming Inspection of Raw Materials Manual

Contains background information, applicable specification references and industry-approved test methods for inspection and evaluation of incoming raw materials. Material categories include laminates, multilayer board materials, various interconnection substrates, resists and other coatings; processing chemicals, artwork, registration tools adn accessories, soldering materials, tooling accessories, and other materials Released Febuary 1984.
